Excerpt from Sermons, Doctrinal, Miscellaneous, and Occasional IN preparing this Edition, the sermons have been carefully revised, - additions made to some, retrench ments in others, and some changes also in their arrangement.

The sermon on' The New Jerusalem, as being the first that the author composed, is now placed first in the volume, thus increasing the number of Doctrinal Ser mons to twelve.

Miscellaneous Sermons (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Miscellaneous Sermons First. The greatest of all follies is a mockery of God by insincere repentance, by that fluctuation between sin, and Sorrow, resolution and infringement, - by that endless circle of penitence, and crime, which they tread, who know virtue only by its labours, and extract nothing from guilt but re morse. The first stage of repentance is in every man's power, and almost in every man's practice. If sighs and tears could purchase the kingdom of Heaven, and a sad face expiate a wicked life, hardness of heart would indeed be weakness of understanding: but, though God is merciful, he is not fallible, nor will he take the odour of sacrifices, or the incense of words, in the lieu of a solid, laborious virtue. In the Christian religion there is no compensation, no arrange ment, no shifting, no fluctuation, no dalliance with duties, no deference to darling vices: if the eye offends us, we must pluck it out; if the hand is sinful, we must cut it ofiz - Better to merit heaven by every suffering, than eternal punishment by every gratification.

Sermons on Christian Doctrine (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Sermons on Christian Doctrine Galatians iii. 26 - 29. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. Wherever opposite views are held with warmth by religious-minded men, we may take for granted that there is some higher truth which embraces both. All high truth is the union of two contradictories. Thus predestination and freewill are opposites: and the truth does not lie between these two, but in a higher reconciling truth which leaves both true. So with the opposing views of baptism. Men of equal spirituality are ready to sacrifice all to assert, or to deny, the doctrine of baptismal regeneration. And the truth, I believe, will be found, not in some middle, moderate, timid doctrine, which skilfully avoids extremes, but in a truth larger than either of these Opposite views, which is the basis of both, and which really is that for which each party tenaciously clings to its own View, as to a matter of life and death. The present occasion1 only requires us to examine three Views. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Sermons on Doctrinal and Moral Subjects (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Sermons on Doctrinal and Moral Subjects The Revelation (yo God signifies that he has communicated certain truths to men, which they were incapable of discovering by their own pow ers, and'yet which are of the greatest importance to them. These truths are contained in the, Bible, which, we therefore conclude, is of divine origin; and as such, is worthy of all acceptation. The fact that this revelation is from God, is sus. Tained by the nature and character of the Fa ther the mission of Christ; the fulfilment of prophecy; the exhibition of miracles the adap tation of Christian truth to our intellectual and moral wants; and the testimony furnished by history. This revelation was not made to us personally. It was communicated to inspired. Men who lived many ages since, on whose ex perience we rely and in whose records we be lieve. Hence, as Divine Revelation was not primarily given to us, we receive it through men who were raised up for the purpose of establish ing it in the World, for the instruction of all people.

Sermons on Christian Doctrine


Book Description

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ... unless they fictitiously adopt the language they hear, they are painfully conscious that they know nothing of them as yet. They hear of a depression for sin which they certainly have never experienced--a joy in God, making His service and His house the gate of heaven; and they know that it is excessively irksome to them--a confidence, trust, and assurance, of which they know nothing--till they take for granted what has been told them, that they are not God's children. Taught that they are as yet of the world, they live as the world--they carry out their education, which has dealt with them as children of the devil, to be converted: and children of the devil they become. Of these two views, the last is by far the most certain to undermine Christianity in every Protestant country. The first at least assumes God's badge, an universal one; and in education is so far right, practically: only wrong in the decision of the question how the child was created a child of God. But the second assumes a false, partial, party-badge--election, views, feelings. No wonder that the children of such religionists proverbially turn out ill. III. We pass to the doctrine of the Bible and (I believe) of the Church. Christ came to reveal a Name--the Father. He abolished the exclusive "my," and He taught us to pray "our Father." He proclaimed God the Father--man the Son: revealed that the Son of Man is also the Son of God. Man--as man, God's child. He came to redeem the world from that ignorance of the relationship which had left them in heart aliens and unregenerate. Human nature, therefore, became, viewed in Christ, a holy thing and divine. The Revelation is a common humanity, sanctified in God. The appearance of the Son of God is the sanctification of the human...




Sermons on Faith and Doctrine (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Sermons on Faith and Doctrine The readers of these Sermons will hardly think that his theism was vague. Metaphysically, they will find that he shrank neither from the assertion of the divine personality, though conscious of the limita tions attendant upon the transfer of that expression from man to God, nor from speaking of Christ as our Saviour, ' and as the expression of the divine nature in a human form; and that God and immortality were all in all to him. Morally, they will find that the image of Christ is dominant in the preacher's thoughts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
