The Valley of Vision: The Spirit of Jesus
LORD JESUS CHRIST,
Fill me with thy Spirit that I may be occupied with his presence. I am blind — send him to make me see; dark — let him say, ‘Let there be light’! May he give me faith to behold my name engraven in thy hand, my soul and body redeemed by thy blood, my sinfulness covered by the life of...

The Carnal Mind Enmity Against God
A Sermon
DELIVERED ON SABBATH MORNING, APRIL 22, 1855
Rev. Charles Haddon Spurgeon
AT EXETER HALL, STRAND.
‘The carnal mind is enmity against God.’ — Romans 8:7
This is a very solemn indictment which the apostle Paul here prefers against the carnal mind. He declares it to be enmity against God. When we consider what man once was, only second to the angels, the companion of God, who walked with him in the garden of Eden in the cool of the day; when we think of him as being made in the very image of his Creator, pure, spotless, and unblemished, we cannot but feel bitterly grieved to find such an accusation as this preferred against us as a race. We may well hang our harps upon the willows while we listen to the voice of Jehovah, solemnly speaking to his rebellious creature. ‘How art thou fallen from...

Gentleness is a virtue which combines humility and approachability, mildness and kindness in their proper sphere and expression.
by Jeremy Walker | Gentleness is tender strength. Without the tender heart, strength could do damage. Without the strong hand, tenderness could prove ineffectual. Gentleness, then, is a function of strength. There is nothing either harsh or weak about gentleness, but rather pity of heart and power of hand combined attractively and effectively. While it knows nothing...
The Valley of Vision: A Disciple’s Renewal
O My Savior, Help me. I am so slow to learn, so prone to forget, so weak to climb; I am in the foothills when I should be on the heights; I am pained by my graceless heart, my prayerless days...

by Dave Campbell | The story begins like this: on the night that Jesus was born certain shepherds were out in the field, keeping watch over their flock. It was to them first of all that the news of his birth was broken. And by an angel no less! “I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the...
An interview with Tim Challies by Joel Beeke | What is casuistry and why did the Puritans focus on it? Casuistry is teaching people how to know what God wants them to do in specific situations, and how to live with peace of conscience before God. It addresses particular ‘cases of conscience’ or ethical and spiritual questions. The Reformation of the sixteenth century brought a renewed understanding of justification by faith alone and sanctification by the Holy Spirit...

Contrition
O Thou Most High, It becomes me to be low in thy presence. I am nothing compared with thee; I possess not the rank and power of angels, but thou hast made me what I am, and placed me where I am...

Jock Purves's account of the martyrdom of John Brown of Priesthill.
by Jock Purves | The simple name of John Brown is familiar and famous. Literature, history and religion all witness that more than one ‘John Brown’s body lies a-mouldering in his grave, while his soul goes marching on.’ Several Covenanting martyrs bore this honoured name, and, among his godly namesakes, John Brown of Priesthill has a humble, gracious place...
