Plain Sermons, preached at Archbishop Tenison's Chapel, Regent Street. Second Series

Philippians, iv., 5, 6. The Lord is at hand. Be careful for nothing; but in 1 everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto GOD SE...

THE prophet had been complaining of the priests for neglecting to inform and correct the people, and of the people for disregarding GOD’S teaching. Reasoning and remonstrating w...

GOD does not forbid, rather He requires us to engage in worldly occupations. He has sent us into the world in need of food and raiment, which the majority of us can only get by...

It would be interesting to consider the strange rise and spread of ignorance which in course of time made the GOD, Who had been seen and heard and walked with in Eden, and had n...

First, then, faith embodies the entire trustful devotion to GOD, which, above any assent to what is proved, any following of what is seen or heard, magnifies the honour of GOD,...

“But what,” some would say, “is the use of this preaching? We are all already faulty; we can none of us have a place among these choice first fruits of GOD’S harvest.” Brethren,...

“Him that sent me.” Have we yet to learn, my brethren, that GOD sent us into this world; that we came not here by chance, or on our own account; that we are not independent bein...

To bring men to this state, that He may delight in them, that they may glorify Him in all things, is the purpose and aim of GOD’S great scheme of salvation; and, to forward that...

This, again, is a truth we need to be impressed with. We are wont to look too much to the future, to _hope_ to be with GOD hereafter, to _long_ for salvation, to sigh for the se...

Next, let us observe, that nothing can keep back and nothing hide from CHRIST. We are sometimes tempted, in the deep sense of our unworthiness, in review of the distance between...
