Book Description

"The first license given to the tongue is slander. I am not of course, speaking now of that species of slander against which the law of libel provides a remedy, but of that of which the Gospel alone takes cognisance; for the worst injuries which man can do to man, are precisely those which are too delicate for law to deal with. We consider therefore not the calumny which is reckoned such by the moralities of an earthly court, but that which is found guilty by the spiritualities of the courts of heaven—that is, the mind of God. Now observe, this slander is compared in the text to poison—"the tongue is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison." The sermons of the late Reverend Fredrick W. Robertson are immortalized in the book "Sermons Preached at Brighton". Robertson was the pastor of Trinity Chapel, Brighton, from 1847 to 1853. His sermons cover topics such as 'The Tongue', 'The Victory of Faith', 'The Dispensation of The Spirit', 'The Trinity' and 'Absolution', among others.
