What I Learned in Sickness – Gaspar Olevianus

We Do See Jesus – Charles Spurgeon

We Do See Jesus – Charles Spurgeon

We have not seen Jesus raise the dead; we have not seen him cast out devils; we have not seen him use the winds and calm the waves; but we do see, with our mind’s eye, his spotless holiness, his boundless love, his superlative truth, his wondrous heavenliness; in a word, we have seen, and do see, his fullness of grace and truth; and we rejoice in the fact that the tabernacle government of God among men in Christ Jesus is attended with a more real glory than the mere brilliance of light and the glow of flame.

Don’t Despair of the Future – JC Ryle

Don’t Despair of the Future – JC Ryle

I do not despair of the future. God forbid that I should do so. I believe in the almighty power of God to deliver us, even in the darkest hour … what He has done in time in the past He may do again. For this let us all agree to pray. A praying, interceding people are the very backbone of the church.
