     | 10,045 views

    A Psalm of true repentance.

    A SPRINKLING WITH HYSSOP. Psalm 51:1-17. In this solemn Psalm of repentance, we dive in (headfirst, as it were) with a plea for mercy. The verbs “have mercy… blot out… wash me… cleanse me” (Psalm 51:1-2) all appear to be in the imperative: but they are in fact plaintive pleas based in the fact ...read more

     | 18,411 views

    The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth (John 1:14).

    based on 11 ratings
     | 9,233 views

    Jesus, who has power over life and death, has compassion on us, too, no matter what our situation in life. God has visited His people, and visits us still.

    A VISITATION BY GOD, AND THE COMPASSION OF JESUS. Luke 7:11-17. It is interesting to compare this incident with that in the immediately preceding passage.

  • The Two Messengers

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 22, 2015
    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,606 views

    Outward ceremony, shoddily performed, hardly compensates for a heart-not-right-with-God.

    THE TWO MESSENGERS. Malachi 3:1-4. The name Malachi means ‘My Messenger’ (see Malachi 1:1). The Book of Malachi is the response of the LORD to the Complaints of His people. Not that they were complaining directly To Him, as honest people might occasionally do (Job 21:7; Jeremiah 12:1). No, they ...read more

    Understanding the Person of God through His works of Creation, Providence, and Redemption.

    A COMMITMENT TO PRAISE THE LORD. Psalm 111:1-10. After the initial exhortation to “Praise ye the LORD” (Psalm 111:1), this song forms an acrostic, using all twenty-two Hebrew letters in alphabetical order. As for the Psalmist, he has determined: “I will praise the LORD with my whole heart” ...read more
