George Mueller of Bristol And His Witness To A Prayer-Hearing God -book New Window	A. T. Pierson	[1837-1811]	Published in 1899 "NOTHING is more noticeable, in the entire career of this man of God, reaching through sixty-five years, than the steadiness of his faith and the steadfastness it gave to his whole character. To have a word of God was enough. He built upon it, and, when floods came and beat again that house, how could it fall! He was never confounded nor obliged to flee. Even the earthquake may shake earth and heaven, but it leaves the true believer the inheritor of a kingdom which cannot be moved; for an object of all such shaking is to remove what can be shaken that what cannot be shaken may remain.If Mr. Mueller had any great mission, it was not to found a world-wide institution of any sort, however useful scattering Bibles and books and tracts, or housing and feeding thousands of orphans, or setting up Christian schools and aiding missionary workers. His main mission was to teach men that it is safe to trust God's word, to rest implicitly upon whatever He hath said, and obey explicitly whatever He has bidden; that prayer offered in faith trusting His promise and the intercession of His dear Son, is never offered in vain; and that the life lived by faith is a walk with God, just outside the very gates heaven." --from chapter 24: "Last Looks, Backward and Forward"

Glory! -sermon New Window	Charles H. Spurgeon	1-7-98	What Jesus once left in Heaven, He now shares with us.
God Glorified in Man's Dependence - sermon New Window	Jonathan Edwards	(1703-1758)	1 Corinthians 1:29, 30, 31 "That no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: that, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord." THOSE Christians to whom the apostle directed this epistle, dwelt in a part of the world where human wisdom was in great repute; as the apostle observes in the 22nd verse of this chapter, "The Greeks seek after wisdom."
God Has Done Nothing Wrong! -study New Window	Katie Stewart	8-19-02	"Many times have I heard this blasphemous accusation, that, "God has a lot to answer for!" "What is man" (Psalm 8:4) to point a finger at God? How can any man blame "the Only Wise God our Saviour" (Jude 25) for the awful mess that man, himself, has made of his own life and world? "God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good" (Genesis 1:31). There is one thing that the righteous definitely know about God, and that is, thankfully, that 'God is NOT A MAN, that He should lie; neither the son of man, that He should repent' (Numbers 23:19). Hallelujah! For, IF the LORD acts in the same way that man does, then God would treat us in the same unjust way that we treat Him! For instance, IF God acted as a man, then God would lie to us! 'The serpent [Satan] was more subtle than any beast... and he said...Yea, hath God said...?' (Genesis 3:1). IF God acted as a man, then God would falsely accuse us! 'The accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night' (Revelation 12:10). IF God acted as a man, then God would deny we exist! 'The LORD turned, and looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the Word of the LORD, how He had said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny Me thrice' (Luke 22:61). 'He turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan' (Matthew 16:23)."

God's Coming Judgment on the United States of America Or, God Does Care About Sin and Righteousness in a Nation -study New Window	Tom Stewart	7-9-99	"Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people" (Proverbs 14:34). At one time, the United States of America had a leader, President Abraham Lincoln, who understood the justice of Almighty God. The closing words of his second inaugural address of March 4,1865, demonstrate his faith in the Living God, as the American Civil War was only a month from its conclusion. "Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's 250 years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn by the lash be paid by another drawn by the sword, as was said 3,000 years ago, so still it must be said: The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether [Psalm 19:9]." 133 years have changed America into a nation that cannot even pay lip service to the justice of Almighty God. "How are the mighty fallen!" (2 Samuel 1:19)... America's churches have lost their pilgrim character. "Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul" (1Peter 2:11). At home in the world, is the unfortunate description of the churches of America. "Woe to them that are at ease in Zion" (Amos 6:1). Without a clear-cut separation from sin and the world, America's churches have lost their distinctive platform to call the nation to repentance. Her ministers and leaders have brought great reproach upon the Name of God in front of the unconverted. "Her priests have violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed difference between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them" (Ezekiel 22:26)... American Christians, like their brethren scattered throughout the world, need to be clinging to the Promises until our Saviour comes for us. The Promises make us holy like our Master, and enable us to escape. "Whereby are given unto us Exceeding Great And Precious Promises: that by These ye might be partakers of the Divine Nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust" (2Peter 1:4). Especially now, those who are truly watching and waiting for their LORD are a Little Flock. However, "Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom" (Luke 12:32).
God's Sovereignty in the Salvation of Men - sermon New Window	Jonathan Edwards	(1703-1758)	ROMANS 9:18. "Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth." THE apostle, in the beginning of this chapter, expresses his great concern and sorrow of heart for the nation of the Jews, who were rejected of God. This leads him to observe the difference which God made by election between some of the Jews and others, and between the bulk of that people and the Christian Gentiles.
Good Days, Better Days -study New Window	Tom Stewart	10-11-2000	"But the path of the just is as the shining Light, that shineth more and more unto the Perfect Day" (Proverbs 4:18). "Until the Master is ready to take us Home to Heaven by death or Rapture, we must understand our emotions, or stumble over them. 'The entrance of Thy Words giveth Light; it giveth understanding unto the simple' (Psalm 119:130). The pathway before us, in the meantime, has been designated by our God to be an ever increasing experience of growing understanding of Himself (most of all), ourselves, and even our emotions. 'But the path of the just is as the shining Light, that shineth more and more unto the Perfect Day' (Proverbs 4:18)."
