The law ceases its office as pedagogue when it comes to be written on our hearts. Boys have their lessons on slates, but men have their laws in their minds. We trust a man where we would carefully watch a boy. When the child becomes a man, his father and mother do not write down little rules for him,…

In every work we undertake, it is most important that we should act on right principles. If we are misled upon essential points, our efforts will be wasted, since success cannot possibly be the result. A man may study the stars as long as he pleases, but he certainly will not come to right conclusions…

The law had its uses, blessed uses. The law should be used for its own purposes, and then it is admirable, it is divine. Take it out of its own proper use, make it a master instead of being a servant, and it is something like fire, which in your grate will comfort you, but if it masters you, it burns…

Did you ever know a boy without an excuse? I never did. I think I never knew a girl either. We all make excuses readily enough. But those rough, surly pedagogues always answered the boy’s idle apologies by giving the offender an extra stroke of the whip for daring to impose upon his guardian. That is…

I have heard of masses of crystal that assume certain forms, but if they are split up again and again, however small the particles may be, the same crystalline shape remains. The crystals are still of one form. So if you take a nation as a mass, its spiritual history will be found in each individual.…

Charles Spurgeon, called the Prince of Preachers, stated, “I do not believe that any man can preach the gospel who does not preach the Law. The Law is the needle, and you cannot draw the silken thread of the gospel through a man’s heart unless you first send the needle of the Law to make way for it.”…

The Bible says in Psalm 19:7, “The law of the Lord is perfect converting the soul.” Scripture makes it very clear that it is the Law that actually converts the soul. To illustrate the function of God’s Law, let’s look for a moment at civil law. Imagine if I said to you, “I’ve got some good news for you:…

James 2:1-13 This passage in James always makes me smile. I find it funny that James, the brother of Christ, would be advising others not to show favoritism. He probably spent years watching Jesus being treated as the favorite before he wrote this. Sibling rivalry is always difficult, but when your older…

HOMOGENEITY "Birds of a feather," the saying goes, "flock together." Not exactly Scripture, but nonetheless is deeply ingrained in the philosophy of the Church Growth Movement. No doubt, the principle works, but is pragmatism the ultimate test? Can a church "target" one group and ignore another? Homogeneity…
