The Zealous Christian Holding Communion With God, in Wrestling and Importunate Prayer – Puritan Christopher Love

Posted on February 28, 2021 by Rich Moore

The Zealous Christian Holding Communion With God, in Wrestling and Importunate Prayer – Puritan Christopher Love

“I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his persistence he will get up and give him as much as he needs.” Luke 11:8 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

Christopher Love (1618-1651) Presbyterian. Studied in Oxford. A brilliant young Welsh preacher and a rising star in the world of Puritan ministry. A prominent London minister, a Covenenter, and a member of the Westminster Assembly of Divines, Love was highly regarded by his peers. The American Puritan, Jonathan Edwards, read Love and had his books in his personal library. Today, he is little known; and that to our detriment.

Arrested by Cromwell’s forces for his alleged involvement in a plan to raise money for the restoration of the monarchy, a charge Love denied. He was tried and convicted on charges of treason. Though several other prominent London ministers were also arrested, including Thomas Watson, they were all released. Christopher Love was beheaded on Tower Hill, London, on August 22, 1651. He wrote: Grace, The Penitent Pardoned, The Zealous Christian, Effectual Calling.

God’s Most Hated Attribute – Charles Spurgeon Sermon

Posted on February 28, 2021 by Rich Moore
I know that the LORD is great, that our Lord is greater than all gods. The LORD does whatever pleases him, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths. (Psalm 135:5-6)

All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing. He does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. No one can hold back his hand or say to him: “What have you done?” (Daniel 4:35)

Charles Haddon (C.H.) Spurgeon (June 19, 1834 – January 31, 1892) was a British Reformed Baptist preacher who remains highly influential among Christians of different denominations, among whom he is still known as the “Prince of Preachers.” In his lifetime, Spurgeon preached to around 10,000,000 people, often up to 10 times a week at different places. His sermons have been translated into many languages. Spurgeon was the pastor of the New Park Street Chapel in London for 38 years. In 1857, he started a charity organization called Spurgeon’s which now works globally. He also founded Spurgeon’s College, which was named after him after his death.

Spurgeon was a prolific author of many types of works including sermons, an autobiography, a commentary, books on prayer, a devotional, a magazine, and more. Many sermons were transcribed as he spoke and were translated into many languages during his lifetime. Arguably, no other author, Christian or otherwise, has more material in print than C.H. Spurgeon.

How Hearts are Softened – Charles Spurgeon Sermon

Posted on February 24, 2021 by Rich Moore

“And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn. 11 In that day there shall be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning at Hadad Rimmon in the plain of Megiddo.” Zechariah 12:10-11 New King James Version (NKJV) Mourning for the Pierced One

Amos and Amaziah – Kenneth Stewart Sermon 1/2

“But never again prophesy at Bethel,
For it is the king’s sanctuary,
And it is the royal residence.”

Then Amos answered, and said to Amaziah:

“I was no prophet,
Nor was I a son of a prophet,
But I was a sheepbreeder
And a tender of sycamore fruit. (Amos 7:13​-14)

Few Saved: Old Paths – J. C. Ryle Sermon / Audio Book

Posted on February 18, 2021 by Rich Moore
“Are there few that be saved? “ – Luke 13:23

1. What it is to be saved.

2. The mistakes which are common about the number of the saved.

3. What the Bible says about the number of the saved.

4. Some plain facts about the number of the saved.

“Are there few that be saved? “ – Luke 13:23​

“I take it for granted that every reader of this paper calls himself a Christian. You would not like to be reckoned a deist, or an infidel. You profess to believe the Bible to be true. The birth of Christ the Saviour, the death of Christ the Saviour, the salvation provided by Christ the Saviour, all these are facts which you have probably never doubted. But, after all, will Christianity like this profit you anything at last? Will it do your soul any good when you die? In one word – Shall you be saved?”

Repentance: Old Paths – J. C. Ryle

Posted on February 18, 2021 by Rich Moore

1. What is repentance? 2. The necessity of repentance. 3. What is there to lead a man to repent?

“Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish” – Luke 13:3

Repentance: Old Paths – J. C. Ryle

The text which heads this page, at first sight, looks stern and severe: “Except ye repent, ye shall all perish”. I can fancy someone saying, “Is this the Gospel? Are these the glad tidings? Are these the good news of which ministers speak?”, “This is a hard saying, who can hear it?” (John 6:60). But from whose lips did these words come? They came from the lips of One who loves us with a love that passeth knowledge, even Jesus Christ, the Son of God. They were spoken by One who so loved us that He left heaven for our sakes, came down to earth for our sakes, lived a poor, humble life, for three and thirty years on earth for our sakes, went to the cross for us, went to the grave for us, and died for our sins. The words that come from lips like these, must surely be words of love.

Election: Old Paths – J. C. Ryle

Posted on February 16, 2021 by Rich Moore

“Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God” – 1 Thessalonians 1:4

“Give diligence to make your calling and election sure” – 2 Peter 1:10

Election: Old Paths – J. C. Ryle

‘There is one subject in religion about which we can never know too much. That subject is Jesus Christ the Lord. This is the mighty subject which the text that heads this page unfolds, Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ’s intercession.

‘I ask the readers of this paper to give me their attention for a few minutes, while I try to set before them the subject of this Election. Believe me, it affects your eternal happiness most deeply. Whether you are in Parliament or not, whether you vote or not, whether you are on the winning side or not, all this will matter very little a hundred years hence. But it will matter greatly whether you are in the number of “God’s Elect”.’
