"We were with Him in the Holy Mount."



"And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and they came unto him."—

Mark 3:13.
HERE was sovereignty.
 Impatient spirits may fret and fume, 
because they are not called to the highest places in the ministry; 
but reader be it thine to rejoice that Jesus calleth whom He wills. 

If He shall leave me to be a doorkeeper in His house, 
I will cheerfully bless Him for His grace in permitting me to do anything in His service.

 The call of Christ's servants comes from above.
 Jesus stands on the mountain, evermore above the world in holiness, 
earnestness, love and power. 

Those whom He calls must go up the mountain to Him,
 they must seek to rise to His level by living in constant communion with Him. 

They may not be able to mount to classic honours, or attain scholastic eminence, but they must like Moses go up into the mount of God and have familiar intercourse with the unseen God, or they will never be fitted to proclaim the gospel of peace. 

Jesus went apart to hold high fellowship with the Father, and we must enter into the same divine companionship if we would bless our fellowmen. 

No wonder that the apostles were clothed with power when they came down fresh from the mountain where Jesus was. 

This morning we must endeavour to ascend the mount of communion, 
that there we may be ordained to the lifework for which we are set apart.

 Let us not see the face of man to-day till we have seen Jesus. 
Time spent with Him is laid out at blessed interest.

We too shall cast out devils and work wonders if we go down into the world girded with that divine energy which Christ alone can give. 

It is of no use going to the Lord's battle till we are armed with heavenly weapons. 
We must see Jesus, this is essential. 

At the mercy-seat we will linger till He shall manifest Himself unto us as He doth not unto the world, and until we can truthfully say,
 "We were with Him in the Holy Mount."

Cry to the Lord !!!

Photobucket
Cry to the Lord.


Men, and women, and children, when in trouble, 
cry without a book; and so when a man really wants the Savior, he does not require book-prayers. 

Never say, 
“Oh, I cannot pray!” 

My dear friend, can you cry? You want to be saved; tell the Lord that.
 If you cannot say it in words, tell it with your tears, your groans, your sighs, your sobs. 

Prayer, like crying, is a natural utterance, and an utterance available on all occasions. 
As sure as a child is in trouble, it can cry without putting on its best frock; 
and so can we without gowns and copes and surplices.

 No child needs to be educated in Greek and Latin in order to know how to cry, 
neither is learning needed in order to effectual prayer. 

God teaches all his little ones to pray as soon as they are born; they have but to confess their sins, 
and plead their necessities, and they do really pray.

 Never is a child in such a bad plight that it cannot cry. 
It never says, “Mother, it is so dark I cannot see to cry;” no, no, the child cries in the dark.

 And are you in the dark, and in terrible doubt and trouble? 
Then cry away, my dear friend, cry away, cry away; your Father will hear and deliver you.

Luke 2:20 glorifying and praising God for all the things !!!


Luke 2:20 (NIV). 


The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told....... 

Thoughts on This Verse...

 Can you imagine the shepherds returning to their flocks after the night they had?
 They had seen God's glory.

 They had experienced the presence of angels. 
They had seen the newborn King, the promised Messiah, the Savior of the world. 

Even more amazing, it was just as they had been told. 
As amazing as the angel's words of announcement had been, they were gloriously fulfilled. 

In addition to all that Jesus was at the moment of his birth, he is also the absolute answer to God's greatest promises and the greatest assurance that God keeps his word. 

Incredibly, God had chosen shepherds, unnamed to us and unimportant to their peers,
 to be the witnesses and participants in God's glorious story of salvation.

 It is our Father's way of reminding us that no matter who we are, 
Jesus came for us because we are important to him!

Sure method of salvation.

Sure method of salvation

Now,
 the greatest matter of concern for any one of us is the eternal salvation of our soul.

We need to be saved, and, according to the Scriptures of truth, there is but one way of salvation; but that way does not happen to be in favor among the sons of men.

 The great popular principle, popular all over the world, no matter whether the people happen to be Protestant or Catholic, Parsee or Mahomedan, Brahminist or Buddhist, is self-salvation — they would reach eternal life by merit. 

There are differences about what is to be done, but the great universal principle of unregenerate man is that he is, somehow or other, to save himself. 

This is his principle, and the further he goes in it the less likely is he to be saved.


My object this morning is to bring before you the much despised principle which God has revealed as the only true one, namely, salvation by the grace of God, through Jesus Christ, by simple faith in him.

 We preach, at God’s command, the way of salvation by mercy, not by merit; by faith, not by works; by grace, not by the efforts of men. 

May God help us so to set forth that principle, that many may accept it. 
I do not care one snap of my finger about preaching so that the style shall please the ear, but I long to reach your hearts.

 I want you to receive the only sure method of salvation, and I pray the Holy Ghost to baptise my words in his own mighty fire, and make them to burn their way into your hearts, and subdue you to the obedience of faith.

"I will answer thee"

IF YOU NEED HELP DIAL,  JEREMIAH 33.3

"I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not."—Jeremiah 33:3.


THERE are different translations of these words. 
One version renders it,
 "I will shew thee great and fortified things." 
Another,
 "Great and reserved things."

 Now, there are reserved and special things in Christian experience: all the developments of spiritual life are not alike easy of attainment. 

There are the common frames and feelings of repentance, and faith, and joy, and hope, which are enjoyed by the entire family; but there is an upper realm of rapture, 
of communion, and conscious union with Christ, 
which is far from being the common dwelling-place of believers. 

We have not all the high privilege of John, 
to lean upon Jesus' bosom; nor of Paul, to be caught up into the third heaven. 

There are heights in experimental knowledge of the things of God which the eagle's eye of acumen and philosophic thought hath never seen: God alone can bear us there; but the chariot in which He takes us up, and the fiery steeds with which that chariot is dragged,
 are prevailing prayers. 

Prevailing prayer is victorious over the God of mercy, "By his strength he had power with God: yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto Him: 
he found Him in Beth-el, and there He spake with us." 

Prevailing prayer takes the Christian to Carmel, and enables him to cover heaven with clouds of blessing, 
and earth with floods of mercy. 

Prevailing prayer bears the Christian aloft to Pisgah, and shows him the inheritance reserved; 
it elevates us to Tabor and transfigures us, till in the likeness of his Lord, 
as He is, so are we also in this world. 

If you would reach to something higher than ordinary grovelling experience,
 look to the Rock that is higher than you, 
and gaze with the eye of faith through the window of importunate prayer. 

When you open the window on your side, it will not be bolted on the other.

"From Me is thy fruit found."



"From Me is thy fruit found."
—Hosea 14:8.

OUR fruit is found from our God as to union. 
The fruit of the branch is directly traceable to the root. 

Sever the connection, the branch dies, and no fruit is produced.
 By virtue of our union with Christ we bring forth fruit. 

Every bunch of grapes have been first in the root, it has passed through the stem, and flowed through the sap vessels, and fashioned itself externally into fruit, but it was first in the stem; 
so also every good work was first in Christ, and then is brought forth in us. 

O Christian, prize this precious union to Christ; 
for it must be the source of all the fruitfulness which thou canst hope to know.

 If thou wert not joined to Jesus Christ, thou wouldst be a barren bough indeed.
Our fruit comes from God as to spiritual providence.

 When the dew-drops fall from heaven, when the cloud looks down from on high, and is about to distil its liquid treasure, when the bright sun swells the berries of the cluster, each heavenly boon may whisper to the tree and say, "From me is thy fruit found."

 The fruit owes much to the root—that is essential to fruitfulness—but it owes very much also to external influences. How much we owe to God's grace-providence! in which He provides us constantly with quickening, teaching, consolation, strength, or whatever else we want. To this we owe our all of usefulness or virtue.


Our fruit comes from God as to wise husbandry. 

The gardener's sharp-edged knife promotes the fruitfulness of the tree, 
by thinning the clusters, and by cutting off superfluous shoots.

 So is it, Christian, with that pruning which the Lord gives to thee. 
"My Father is the husbandman.

 Every branch in Me that beareth not fruit He taketh away; 
and every branch that beareth fruit He purgeth it,
 that it may bring forth more fruit." 

Since our God is the author of our spiritual graces, 
let us give to Him all the glory of our salvation.

You have been my help!



You have been my help!



...I beg you, do not, for the glory of God and for the comfort of tried saints, keep back your testimony, but say, “I was brought low, and he helped me, and, therefore, blessed be his name.” 

We do not talk enough about our deliverances. 
When you get home this afternoon, after dinner, if a friend or two should call in, you will go over your bad times and your troubles, but you will not recapitulate your mercies. 

Have we not had enough of complaining?

 let us touch another string, and bless the Lord for all his lovingkindness.

 What a tale some of us could tell of his mercies!

No novel that was ever composed could possibly equal in interest my own experience of God’s goodness, and I think there are many here of whose lives the same could be said. 

Rich with incident, crowded with wonders, crammed full of miracles have our lives been, for God has dealt so well with us that we often stand astonished at what he has done.

 “Thou hast been my help.”
 Oh, yes, I will sum up the whole of my life in the one sentence, and, as we have seen a portrait sketched in a few lines, so will I give you my whole career in miniature: 

“Thou hast been my help.”

FAITH is full of inventions.


"And when they could not come nigh unto Him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay."
—Mark 2:4.
FAITH is full of inventions. 
The house was full, a crowd blocked up the door, 
but faith found a way of getting at the Lord and placing the palsied man before Him. 

If we cannot get sinners where Jesus is by ordinary methods we must use extraordinary ones.
 It seems, according to Luke 5:19, that a tiling had to be removed, which would make dust and cause a measure of danger to those below, but where the case is very urgent we must not mind running some risks and shocking some proprieties.

 Jesus was there to heal, and therefore fall what might, 
faith ventured all so that her poor paralyzed charge might have his sins forgiven.

 O that we had more daring faith among us! Cannot we, dear reader, seek it this morning for ourselves and for our fellow-workers, and will we not try to-day to perform some gallant act for the love of souls and the glory of the Lord.


The world is constantly inventing; genius serves all the purposes of human desire: 

cannot faith invent too, and reach by some new means the outcasts who lie perishing around us? 
It was the presence of Jesus which excited victorious courage in the four bearers of the palsied man: 
is not the Lord among us now? Have we seen His face for ourselves this morning? 

Have we felt His healing power in our own souls?
 If so, then through door, through window, or through roof, let us,
 breaking through all impediments, labour to bring poor souls to Jesus.

 All means are good and decorous when faith and love are truly set on winning souls. If hunger for bread can break through stone walls,  
surely hunger for souls is not to be hindered in its efforts. 

O Lord, make us quick to suggest methods of reaching Thy poor sin-sick ones, 
and bold to carry them out at all hazards.

Not merely like a man, but man indeed



Not merely like a man, but man indeed !!!


Less than God could not have borne your sin so as to put it away; but the infinitely glorious Son of God did actually stoop to become a sin-bearer.


 I wonder how I can talk of it as I do.
 It is a truth scarcely to be declared in words.

 It wants flame and blood and tears with which to tell this story of an offended God,
the Heaven-Maker and the Earth-Creator, stooping from his glory that he might save the reptiles
 which had dared to insult his honor and to rebel against his glory; and, becoming one of them,
 to suffer for them, that without violation of his law he might have pity upon the offending 
things — things so inconsiderable that if he had stamped them all out, as men burn a nest of wasps, 
there had been no loss to the universe.

But he had pity on them, and became one of them, and bare their sins. 
Oh, love ye him; adore ye him; let your souls climb up to the right hand of the majesty above, this morning, and there bow down in lowliest reverence and adoring affection, that he, the God over all, whom you had offended, should his own self bear our sins.

Though thus God over all, he became a man like unto ourselves; a body was prepared for him, and that body, mark you, not prepared alone, and made like to man but not of man. 

No, he was not otherwise fashioned than ourselves, he came into the world as we also come, born of a woman, a child of a mother, to hang upon a woman’s breast; not merely like to man, but man, 
born in the pedigree of manhood, and so bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh, 
yet without a taint of sin. 

And he, in that double nature but united person, was Jesus, Son of God and Son of the Virgin; he it was who “bare our sins in his own body on the tree.”

"Shine as lights in the world."

Christ Light Pictures, Images and Photos

"In the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world."—Philippians 2:15.
WE use lights to make manifest.
 A Christian man should so shine in his life, that a person could not live with him a week without knowing the gospel.

 His conversation should be such that all who are about him should clearly perceive whose he is, and whom he serves; and should see the image of Jesus reflected in his daily actions.

 Lights are intended for guidance.
 We are to help those around us who are in the dark.

 We are to hold forth to them the Word of life.
 We are to point sinners to the Saviour, and the weary to a divine resting-place. 

Men sometimes read their Bibles, and fail to understand them; we should be ready, like Philip, to instruct the inquirer in the meaning of God's Word, the way of salvation, and the life of godliness. 

Lights are also used for warning. On our rocks and shoals a light-house is sure to be erected. 
Christian men should know that there are many false lights shown everywhere in the world, 
and therefore the right light is needed. 

The wreckers of Satan are always abroad, tempting the ungodly to sin under the name of pleasure; they hoist the wrong light, be it ours to put up the true light upon every dangerous rock, to point out every sin, and tell what it leads to, that so we may be clear of the blood of all men, shining as lights in the world.

 Lights also have a very cheering influence, and so have Christians.

 A Christian ought to be a comforter, with kind words on his lips, and sympathy in his heart; he should carry sunshine wherever he goes, and diffuse happiness around him.



Gracious Spirit dwell with me; I myself would gracious be, 
And with words that help and heal Would thy life in mine reveal, 
And with actions bold and meek Would for Christ my Saviour speak.

i am the light Pictures, Images and Photos
