Book Description

Excerpt from God's Controversy With the Nation: A Sermon Preached in the Free North Church, Stirling, on Wednesday, 7th October, 1857, the Day Appointed as a National Fast on Account of the Insurrection in India If it be true that we have, it is a most alarming fact. If it be true that, in the words of my text, God has come out of. His place to punish us - that He has, for a season, changed towards us the ordinary course of His providence in the government of the world, to deal Specially with us for our national Sins - we have cause to tremble, all of us, from the Queen upon the throne, to the meanest of her subjects. If it will be. A fearful'thing' for lost souls, at length, to fall into the hands 'of the living God, ' it must be a fearful thing' for nations, which have no hereafter, and which must be judged and punished in time, now to fall into His hands.' He is Slow to wrath but, if once it be kindled but a little, ' our only hope is to 'kiss the Son, lest we perish from the way. Blessed are all they who put their trust in Him.' Let us, then, see whether we have sufficient reasons for fearing that God is speaking to us in wrath, and vexing us in His sore displeasure.'
