Enjoy!
"The Conversion of Saul of Tarsus" - If the Lord means to make a Christian out of you, you may kick against Christianity, but he will have you at last.
"An Earnest Invitation" - (1) Now, salvation cannot be cut in twain. If you would have justification you must have sanctification too. If your sins are pardoned they must be abhorred; if you are washed in the blood to take away the guilt of sin, you must be washed in the water to take away the power of sin over your affections and life. (2) if thou art now willing to be reconciled, God has made thee willing, and he would not have put the will if he did not intend to gratify it. (3) "But suppose that I am not one of God's elect," says one. But if you trust in Christ you are; and there is no supposing about it. "But suppose Christ did not die for me." But, if you trust him, he did die for you. The fact is proved, and you are saved.
"The Believer's Challenge" - Oh, it is no hard task to plead, when you are pleading with a Father for a brother.
"Covenant Blessings" - One way or other God will have his children fed.
"Hypocrisy" - (1) He who is true will sometimes suspect himself of falsehood, while he who is false will wrap himself up in a constant confidence of his own sincerity. (2) We must have grace within to make our life holy; but lip-piety needs no grace. (3) The thought of a present Deity, if it were fully realized, would preserve us from sin; always looking on me, ever regarding me.
"Christ Precious to Believers" Quoting Rutherford - "Lord, I would sooner be in hell with thee than in heaven without thee; for if I were in heaven without thee it would be a hell to me, and if I were in hell with thee it would be a heaven to me."
"Weak Hands and Feeble Knees" - Strong feet make a man mighty, but a strong knee makes him mightier still. Christ's soldiers always win their battles on their knees. On their feet they may be conquered, but on their knees they are invincible.
"The Blind Beggar" - No prayer ever reaches God's heart which does not come from our hearts.
"The Sight of Iniquity" - (1) This, I think, is one reason why the Lord gives his people discoveries of their iniquity and grievance, that they may be sound in the faith, and that they may hold nothing but the doctrines of grace. (2) The old Puritans used to say, that God had given the peacock black feet, that he might not be proud of his bright feathers.
