42945 | ( How does the proverb read? |
42945 | 7:30, you say? |
42945 | A sober woodsman who saw the fight of the drunken lumberjacks said,''Pilot, why do you continue to work among such men?'' |
42945 | After the service two lumberjacks came up to me and said:''Hello, Pilot, do n''t you know us? |
42945 | Anything new in the camps?" |
42945 | Are you on, Pilot? |
42945 | But what has been done for the lumberjack? |
42945 | Can you show me where I have not tried to help you? |
42945 | Church quarrels have bounds, but where are the limits of the quarrels of the lumberjacks? |

42945 | Funny, ai n''t it? |
42945 | He paused, looked me over, and began again:"You''re a preacher, ai n''t you?" |
42945 | He sang another and remarked on closing, for the sentiment of the song appealed to him:"How the devil do they think of such fine things? |
42945 | How does that strike you for news?" |
42945 | If you had asked Old Quebec,"Are n''t you prejudiced?" |
42945 | Is it for our Frank Higgins, the Sky Pilot?" |
42945 | Is that a proper return?" |
42945 | Is your hospital ticket good?" |
42945 | It was after a camp service that a young man came to the Pilot and asked:"Is n''t there any way that I can make my life count? |

42945 | On visiting a camp for the first time Frank Higgins is apt to inquire,"Ever had any preachers up this way?" |
42945 | One of his examiners asked him,"What seminary did you attend?" |
42945 | Probably you know him?" |
42945 | Say, penpusher, who is this for? |
42945 | See to the trimmings, will you? |
42945 | See? |
42945 | Speak up, which do you want?" |
42945 | The push in one of the camps heard him, and turning to the clerk, asked:"What the devil does he mean by Sky Piloting around that way? |
42945 | The waiting men are inviting the bearers of good tidings to enter-- shall we refuse? |

42945 | Where there is a need shall not the Christian Church supply it? |
42945 | Where, at so little cost, are the possibilities of good so great? |
42945 | Will the Christian church raise the means? |

42945 | the minister asked himself,"is the fellow sick, there''s so little action in him?" |
17002 | Are such things right? |
17002 | Are these ecclesiastical bodies respectively Indian, Chinese, and African in their character? |
17002 | Are these the doctrines or policy of the Dutch Church? |
17002 | Are they, then, two- thirds of an integral part in America, and one- third of an integral part in England? |
17002 | Besides this, how shall we know which of them were converted through our instrumentality? |
17002 | But are these things so? |
17002 | But has it been more successful than the Mission at Amoy? |
17002 | But how and where has this test been applied, and found so satisfactory? |
17002 | But how, on this plan, can he possibly obtain them? |
17002 | But the point is, how can our disapproval of_ the mongrel Classis_ mar the peace of the Amoy brethren?" |
17002 | But will the plan of Synod give us any greater security for these things? |
17002 | But will they do it? |
17002 | Can it be that a policy which requires_ such constitutional changes_ can be the old and proper policy of our Church? |
17002 | Can the Board try them? |
17002 | Can they be designed to prejudice the Church at home against the ecclesiastical body which has grown up at Amoy? |
17002 | Can this be secured? |
17002 | Can you account for such things except by the energy of the Spirit of God? |
17002 | Can you not do the same now? |
17002 | Cannot-- ought not-- the Church change her policy if wrong, or if a better can be adopted? |
17002 | Do not different Denominations exhibit jealous rivalry in this land? |
17002 | Do you wish a similar result in China? |
17002 | Does that mean that we had no qualms of conscience about''submitting to the decision that had been reached?'' |
17002 | General Synod? |
17002 | Has it been tested in China? |
17002 | Has it been tested in Japan? |
17002 | Hence the question has been put to us with all sincerity and gravity,"Is it a_ Classis_, or is it a_ Presbytery_?" |
17002 | How can they be secured? |
17002 | How should we designate such an act? |
17002 | I ask, is it possible for him thus to obtain justice? |
17002 | I have been asked, Why not bring this subject before the Church through the columns of the_ Christian Intelligencer_? |
17002 | In expecting to obtain this union, will it be said, that we are looking for a chimera? |
17002 | Is Chinese human nature different from American? |
17002 | Is every thing then to be regarded as_ unsettled_ and_ changeable_ but this policy of the Church? |
17002 | Is it because they were baptized by our Missionaries? |
17002 | Is it because they were converted through the instrumentality of the preaching of our Missionaries? |
17002 | Is it necessary to defend such acts? |
17002 | Is it not plain that the Church at home will not thus have a moiety of the control over her Missionaries she now has? |
17002 | Is it right to impose a yoke like this on that little Church which God is gathering by your instrumentality in that far- off land of China? |
17002 | Is it well that we should be disputing among ourselves concerning who shall have that credit which all belongs to Christ? |
17002 | Is the Classis, in evangelizing the heathen around, to operate through the Board, or the Board through the Classis? |
17002 | Is the Dutch Church a hierarchy? |
17002 | Is the Mission, then, to attend to all the evangelistic work, and the Classis to do nothing? |
17002 | Is the waste of time, of a year or more, nothing? |
17002 | Is this right? |
17002 | Is this the way to keep the Church at Amoy sound and pure? |
17002 | Is this, indeed, as the Committee assert, one of the"admitted principles"of our Church? |
17002 | It ought to be so, ought it not? |
17002 | May the Board of Missions, on mere report or suspicion, recall them without giving them a proper trial? |
17002 | May we not refer, without being charged with disrespect, to the Synod of Jerusalem as a proper example for our General Synod? |
17002 | May we not,_ must_ we not, correct them? |
17002 | No? |
17002 | On the plan proposed, what can the Church do with them? |
17002 | Or are there to be two distinct evangelistic policies carried on at Amoy, the one by the Mission, and the other by the Classis? |
17002 | Or is the Classis first to come over to the Synod, and so get to the Board in order to carry on the work around? |
17002 | Peter says,"Why tempt ye God to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither we nor our fathers were able to bear?" |
17002 | Possibly( not probably) the question will be asked, why were these churches allowed originally to become one? |
17002 | The church grew, and in due time a Consistory was called for; must the work stop, because the Constitution had made no provision? |
17002 | The important question now is, what will be the result of this decision on the Church at Amoy? |
17002 | Then why form the connection? |
17002 | They might by the act of our Church, and_ a correlative act on their own part_, become an integral part of the Church in America? |
17002 | They would have been strictly correct if they had run as follows:"These Churches are_ all_( why say,''_ three at least_''?) |
17002 | We might have acted on such principles, but shall we be_ censured_ for not doing it? |
17002 | We must obey Synod, but may not the Church change or improve her decisions? |
17002 | What made them so? |
17002 | What then? |
17002 | What will be the difficulties when it becomes an_ Indian_ Classis? |
17002 | Who is the Lord of conscience? |
17002 | Why forget or ignore the fact that they are_ Evangelists_ and_ not Pastors_? |
17002 | Why is not the Dutch Church the principal Presbyterian body in this land? |
17002 | Why must we deprive the native Christians of the benefit of the collective wisdom of all the churches of like doctrine and order among them? |
17002 | Why not so? |
17002 | Why not? |
17002 | Why object to an ecclesiastical relationship exactly corresponding to, and required by, their office and position? |
17002 | Why strive to entail like evils on our Missionary churches? |
17002 | Why, then, such questions and suggestions? |
17002 | Will any one assert that the Classis thus formed at Amoy is not a Classis_ de facto_? |
17002 | Will it be said, there is no danger of such difficulty? |
17002 | Will it not seem to them that our Church is deficient in liberality, when they learn the decision of the last Synod? |
17002 | Would such a reflection have been cast on any other body of ministers in our Church? |
17002 | _ They conceived it to be their duty!_ Was it? |
17002 | and where shall the thousands of dollars of necessary expense come from? |
17002 | one of the"convictions in the mind of our Church, hardly separable in idea from its very existence?" |
17002 | one of the"old truths maintained through blood and flame?" |
17002 | or are they all_ essentially American_? |
17002 | or that they were in any sense under the control of those bodies? |
23096 | And you believe in God, do you? |
23096 | But_ when_? |
23096 | By whose authority? |
23096 | If God be for us who can be against us? |
23096 | Is Jesus divine? |
23096 | Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? |
23096 | Then one of the twelve called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, and said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? 23096 What can I do for you, dear?" |
23096 | What have they seen in thy house? |
23096 | Why must I have this trial or pain or trouble? |
23096 | ( Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? |
23096 | After all, it is not so much a question of the knowledge of the day, or the hour, or the month of one''s conversion as"Do we now know Christ?" |
23096 | And so for those of us whose lives have been such a struggle we cry,"Is there no deliverance?" |
23096 | And then the question came to him as from God,"What do you believe?" |
23096 | And they said, What is that to us? |
23096 | Are there not hundreds and thousands of other men waiting, as the chief justice waited, for some one to speak or write? |
23096 | As has been indicated, the text proves that we may choose life if we will, but I have more especially in mind the question,"Why should we do it?" |
23096 | At the day of Pentecost people were saying,"What do these things mean?" |
23096 | But how about the sins of the past? |
23096 | But on the other hand, what if we should simply be faithful? |
23096 | But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? |
23096 | But"Is there no deliverance that is complete?" |
23096 | Could anything be more inspiring than to know that we have the approval of the Holy Ghost of the things we say or think? |
23096 | Did n''t you notice a fresh little grave near the one with the stone? |
23096 | Do I know when I was converted? |
23096 | Do you reject hell, because it seems to you to be inconceivable? |
23096 | Do you think for a moment that those who gaze at us would imagine that we had the least conviction that people away from Christ were lost? |
23096 | Does your life parallel God''s law or cross it? |
23096 | Finally they met, and the infidel with a sneer said,"So you believe the Bible, do you?" |
23096 | For the angel had said,"The Lord is with thee, Gideon,"and Gideon had said,"If the Lord is with us, then how can these things be?" |
23096 | For this day we hope and pray and cry aloud,"O Lord, how long, how long?" |
23096 | For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? |
23096 | God seemed to say to him,"Have you ever taken that stand where you would say,''I am committed to the right even if it ends in death''?" |
23096 | Has he not said,"Ye shall receive power"? |
23096 | Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?" |
23096 | Have we failed to take both? |
23096 | Have you ever seen a perfect rainbow-- that is, a rainbow in a perfect circle? |
23096 | Have you ever stopped to think what is really associated with the full acceptance of the third Person of the Trinity? |
23096 | He granted Saul of Tarsus a vision of himself as he approached Damascus until he cried,"Who art thou?" |
23096 | He then lying on Jesus''breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? |
23096 | How about your living? |
23096 | How about your testimony? |
23096 | How could we expect them to have the same experience in coming to Christ? |
23096 | How may I be converted? |
23096 | How may I know certainly? |
23096 | How may we know that he is striving? |
23096 | How may we know that the Bible is the word of God? |
23096 | How may we secure such a possession? |
23096 | How then ought we to live? |
23096 | How wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan? |
23096 | I The natural question that comes to every student of the life of Judas must be,"Why was he chosen?" |
23096 | I What is conversion? |
23096 | I What is the striving of the Spirit? |
23096 | I ask you the question, Do you believe in heaven as a place of rewards? |
23096 | I doubt not the question has often come to us,"How can God be just and be the justifier of them that believe?" |
23096 | I found myself becoming unscrupulous in my business life and now I am wrecked, certainly for time-- oh,"said he,"can it be for eternity? |
23096 | I looked the other day into the face of a man who said to me,"Do you know me?" |
23096 | II Have you really taken all that God meant you should have? |
23096 | II How may I be converted? |
23096 | II Why are we not having revelations to- day as we know they have been given at other times? |
23096 | III Did you ever realize that you were standing in the way of the conversion of your friends? |
23096 | III Do you know when you were converted? |
23096 | III Oh, is there no hope? |
23096 | III What would be the consequences of the Spirit ceasing his work? |
23096 | IV How may we know that we have passed from death into life? |
23096 | IV Why should he cease his striving? |
23096 | If these things are true of us-- and they are, according to the Word of God-- then what prospect is there for us but that of eternal punishment? |
23096 | If this is true then what is consecration? |
23096 | In the twenty- first chapter of John the fifth and sixth verses we read,"Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? |
23096 | Is it not like this with our sins? |
23096 | Is not this written in the book of Jasher? |
23096 | Is such a deliverance as this from individual sins possible? |
23096 | It is indeed a black picture, and with whitened faces and rapidly beating hearts we ask, Is there any hope? |
23096 | It is not giving God something, for how could we give him that which is already his own? |
23096 | It is true that we shall go on from light into darkness, from morning into the night, but is there no final deliverance? |
23096 | It may be that some will say,"Why insist upon conversion when my life is a moral one?" |
23096 | Just what is the burden of this prayer of Paul''s? |
23096 | Man tells the depraved man to change his surroundings; but how about the heart that is unclean? |
23096 | Man tells the sinner to do his best; but how about the will which has been weakened by sinful practices, and which seems unable to act? |
23096 | Napoleon once was asked,"What is the greatest need of the French nation?" |
23096 | Oh, if it be true that the_ way_ of the transgressor is hard, in the name of God what shall we say of the end? |
23096 | Oh, may I say that it is a great sin to be untrue? |
23096 | One man called my attention to it and said,"It is amusing, is n''t it?" |
23096 | Second: Just what, therefore, is this work of sanctification? |
23096 | THE MORNING BREAKETH TEXT:"_ Watchman, what of the night? |
23096 | That is, do you know the exact time? |
23096 | The biography of Helen Kellar[ Transcriber''s note: Keller? |
23096 | The great temperance leader went to speak to him and said"Edward, why do n''t you pray?" |
23096 | The old minister looked at him and said simply,"Well, is that anything to be proud of?" |
23096 | The rest of the verse is a question,"God that justifieth?" |
23096 | The thirty- fourth verse reads,"Who is he that condemneth?" |
23096 | The words"unto them"are in italics, so not in the original, and we ask"added to what?" |
23096 | Then said I, O my Lord, what are these? |
23096 | Then the question for the moralist is this,"Have you ever offended in one point?" |
23096 | Then why not now? |
23096 | They spent the night in the kirk in prayer, when the minister said,"Why not ask God to restore his body?" |
23096 | This appealed to the dying man and he said,"Where shall I read?" |
23096 | V But what must I do to take advantage of all this gracious offer of God? |
23096 | V What is meant by the Spirit not striving? |
23096 | V"_ And the host ran, and cried and fled._"What hosts are against us to- day? |
23096 | Was there ever such a catalogue of mercies? |
23096 | Watts[ Transcriber''s note: Watt?] |
23096 | What hope is there for the moralist when Jesus said,"Except ye be converted"? |
23096 | What if God''s will should be done for but one year in all things in any of our cities; would the result be anything else than perfect joy? |
23096 | What if I had said,"I will decorate the well house that I may change the water?" |
23096 | What if he had hidden behind some great rock and simply waited? |
23096 | What if he had tarried behind some one of those great trees near the city along the way which he should walk, or, possibly on the Emmaus way? |
23096 | What if instead of going out to the scene of his disgraceful death he had waited until after Jesus had risen? |
23096 | What is it, therefore? |
23096 | What should he do with it? |
23096 | When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? |
23096 | When the minister said to the old sea captain,"Why do you do this? |
23096 | Who ever heard of a boy growing in this way? |
23096 | Who ever heard of a doctor who had a prescription for growth? |
23096 | Who knows but one could speak and the other could sing? |
23096 | Who was that Robert? |
23096 | Who, then, would be without it? |
23096 | Why have we not this power of his? |
23096 | Why is not some one in our own land especially working out some of the great plans and purposes of God? |
23096 | Why should God continue when we only spurn his offers of mercy? |
23096 | Why take such a risk?" |
23096 | Will you not come while he calls to- day? |
23096 | With such a work as this, who shall lay anything to the charge of God''s elect? |
23096 | Would God that justifieth do it, or Christ that died consent to it? |
23096 | and he said,"Yes, sir; do you?" |
23096 | and in thy name done many wonderful works?" |
23096 | and in thy name have cast out Devils? |
23096 | and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt? |
23096 | who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" |
15693 | ''And to- night, too?'' 15693 ''Is the firm a good one? |
15693 | ''Was your mother a Christian?'' 15693 ''Well I can call again if you are too busy to talk to me now?'' |
15693 | ''Why do n''t you ask your mother or father for advice?'' 15693 And I looked around, and I said,''Are we all here?'' |
15693 | Are you here? |
15693 | Divorce in your country, is it not a menace? |
15693 | Do you remember the handful of flowers I picked for you, and asked you to send them to your family? |
15693 | Dr. Talmage, will you not honour me by coming up to my house to dine, and staying with us over night? |
15693 | Have you ever thanked God for delightsome food? |
15693 | How did you like the tea service which my husband sent you? |
15693 | How do you avoid them? |
15693 | If the President die, what of his successor? |
15693 | Is it the Atlantic you object to? |
15693 | Is n''t it beautiful? |
15693 | Is there no one inside in authority? |
15693 | Look at that dog''s eyes, is n''t he a fine fellow? |
15693 | Look at that sycamore,he said;"did you find in the Holy Land any more thrifty than that? |
15693 | Oh,he said,"have n''t you a stronger mind than that? |
15693 | Senators, are you ready for the question? 15693 Tell me, how many kinds of time have you here?" |
15693 | What is the value of this? 15693 What shall we say of the prince in Israel who has left us? |
15693 | Where has the money for this great enterprise been expended? |
15693 | Who did you say this was? |
15693 | Will you accept a copy of my books? |
15693 | Wo n''t you come and see my play to- night? |
15693 | ''What is it, John?'' |
15693 | ''Why were you taken? |
15693 | 5:"How much owest thou unto my Lord?" |
15693 | A gentleman wrote me this way for advice about his social burden:"What shall I do? |
15693 | A minister should have a conference with his people before he preaches, otherwise how can he tell what medicine to give them? |
15693 | And I went into the chapel of the great town, and I said:''Where do the poor worship, and where are the benches on which they sit?'' |
15693 | And the question is already absorbing my entire nature,''What can I do to repay Brooklyn for this great uprising?'' |
15693 | And when told it came from America, they would say:"What part of America? |
15693 | Are n''t they honourable men?'' |
15693 | Are you here? |
15693 | Are you treated well? |
15693 | As I stepped on to the platform, I said,"Where is Governor Hendricks?" |
15693 | Because he was a great poet who had died? |
15693 | Because he was so able an editor? |
15693 | Because he was so very old? |
15693 | Brown?" |
15693 | But how could I recover it, and in so short a time? |
15693 | But where had it gone? |
15693 | But who would have been the Christ? |
15693 | Ca n''t you read a book you do n''t exactly believe, and not be affected by it?" |
15693 | Call the roll of Abraham Lincoln''s Cabinet? |

15693 | Call the roll of Madison''s Cabinet? |
15693 | Call the roll of Monroe''s Cabinet? |
15693 | Call the roll of Pierce''s Cabinet? |
15693 | Can anyone imagine the difference of my appreciation of Dr. Hardman and Dr. Scott? |
15693 | Can we compress the ocean into a dewdrop? |
15693 | Can you arrange it? |
15693 | Can you lend me a shilling? |
15693 | Could there be anything more savage? |
15693 | Did we not at one time have a Secretary of the United States carried home dead drunk? |
15693 | Did we not have a Vice- President sworn in so intoxicated the whole land hid its head in shame? |

15693 | Dr. Richards, of Morristown, New Jersey, when a child was handed to him for baptism, and the names given,"Had n''t you better call it something else?" |
15693 | Have n''t you a fair chance? |
15693 | Have you, in America, any of the terrible agnosticism that we have in Europe? |
15693 | He arrived in time, and preached a glowing and rousing sermon on the text,"Have ye received the Holy Ghost?" |
15693 | He came to my father''s house one day, and while we were all seated in the room, he said:"Mr. Talmage, are all your children Christians?" |
15693 | He has a hearty''How are you to- day?'' |
15693 | He said,"DeWitt, would you like to read that book?" |
15693 | He turned around to me, a boy of seven years, and said,"DeWitt, what are you crying about? |
15693 | He was a man that people in the streets stopped to look at, and strangers would say as he passed,"I wonder who that man is?" |
15693 | He was in the newspapers-- and the children? |
15693 | Here, fellows, have you heard the news? |
15693 | His anxious wife inquired,''What is it so funny, John?'' |
15693 | How can she get him back? |
15693 | How do you account for the fact that your son is such a dissipated fellow?" |
15693 | How shall he get his people back? |
15693 | How to set the idea of a World''s Fair agoing? |
15693 | I discovered, in a long conversation that I had with him, that he was ready to die, and when a man is ready why should he be afraid? |
15693 | I greeted him amid the marble walls of the Senate with the words"Did n''t I tell you so?" |
15693 | I once said to my father,"Are people so much worse now than they used to- be?" |
15693 | I said to a very wealthy man, who employed thousands of men in his establishments in different cities:"Have you had many strikes?" |
15693 | I said to him as I looked up into his face:"How tall are you?" |
15693 | I said to him:''Have you any one in mind whom you would like to talk to?'' |
15693 | I said to the driver,"Do you know Mr. Ruskin when you see him?" |
15693 | I said:"Mr. Bryant, will you read for us''Thanatopsis''?" |
15693 | I stretched myself out upon the seats for a sound sleep, saying,"Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do? |
15693 | I then called to a gentleman in the orchestra whom I knew could sing well:"Thompson, ca n''t you sing better than that?" |
15693 | I wonder what they saw going on in the courtyard? |
15693 | If 49 would marry 22, if summer is fascinated with spring, whose business is it but their own? |

15693 | If we had not been our own rulers, but had been ruled-- what would America have been then? |
15693 | Lord?" |
15693 | Merciful Father, have I not suffered enough?'' |
15693 | My family accompanied me to the railroad train, and my thought was should we ever meet again? |
15693 | My father and mother have a comfortable tent, and I have a good tent; why should I take the money? |
15693 | My informant heard them say to him,"Well, how was it?" |
15693 | My wife met me with anxious countenance, and said,"How did you get hurt, and what is the matter?" |
15693 | One of our party asked for his autograph; he cheerfully gave it, asking,"Is that all I can do for you?" |
15693 | Paris is France, London is England, why not New York the United States? |
15693 | President,''I said,''I do not want to pry into State secrets, but I would like to know how many ducks you did shoot?'' |
15693 | Some of them would come staggering back and say:--"Please tell us who sent this bread to us?" |
15693 | The question was asked softly, sometimes very softly, in regard to a bill:"Is there any money in it?" |
15693 | This insured a cordial greeting for the Doctor, but how was he to make himself understood? |
15693 | To whom did all this money belong? |
15693 | Turning to the Doctor, she said, almost tearfully:"Why, Doctor Talmage, how can they refuse you?" |
15693 | Under right administration who could tell what our beloved city is to be? |
15693 | Was there in all time or eternity past, or will there be in all time or eternity to come, such a scene of self- abnegation? |
15693 | We drove five miles through the park before reaching the gates of Chatsworth-- shall I call it house or castle? |
15693 | We used to say:"Mother, where are you going?" |
15693 | What can I do for you?'' |
15693 | What can I do that I have not done, so that I can see clearly?" |
15693 | What fired the long line of cars that made night hideous? |
15693 | What forced three rail trains from the tracks and shot down engineers with their hands on the valves? |
15693 | What if he did say"Gentlemen, I am a very poor man, but tell your King he is not rich enough to buy me"? |
15693 | What is the value of that?" |
15693 | What lifted the wild howl in Chicago? |
15693 | What made all the land and all the world feel so badly when William Cullen Bryant was laid down at Roslyn? |
15693 | What mean those graves on the heights of Fredericksburg? |
15693 | What shall I do?" |
15693 | What shall I do?" |
15693 | What was it that defeated the armies sometimes in the late war? |
15693 | What was the matter in Pittsburg that summer? |
15693 | When my father lay dying the old country minister said to him,"Mr. Talmage, how do you feel now as you are about to pass the Jordan of death?" |
15693 | Who can estimate the power which emanated from the pulpits of Dr. McElroy, or Dr. DeWitt, or Dr. Spring, or Dr. Krebs? |
15693 | Who can hear the metallic voice of that Caiaphas without thinking of some church court that condemned a man better than themselves? |
15693 | Who does control his temper, always? |
15693 | Who shall estimate the value of such a pedigree? |
15693 | Who will ever forget that woman''s cry, or the face from which suffering has dried the last tear? |
15693 | Whoever did escape it? |
15693 | Why not cross the line this hour, out of the world into the kingdom of God? |
15693 | Why not in the college? |
15693 | Why should anyone want to kill him? |
15693 | Why should anyone want to kill him? |
15693 | Why should anyone want to kill him? |
15693 | Why should they want to flaunt any of its shreds? |
15693 | Why should we neglect to pay in full the price of our four years''unrighteousness? |
15693 | Why, coming toward that city, were we obliged to dismount from the cars and take carriages through the back streets? |
15693 | Why, when one night the Michigan Central train left Chicago, were there but three passengers on board a train of eight cars? |
15693 | Will it not be glorious to meet again in our Father''s house, where the word goodbye shall never be spoken? |
15693 | Will you omit the wines at that dinner?" |
15693 | Will you write me an order for his release?" |
15693 | Wo n''t you please do this for me?" |
15693 | Would Dr. Talmage come round and talk to her? |

15693 | he asks; and for sight for"the eye, the window of our immortal nature, the gate through which all colours march, the picture gallery of the soul?" |
15251 | Did I tell you of the boy I was asked to see on Sabbath evening, just when I got myself comfortably seated at home? 15251 I am often tempted to say, How can this Man save us? |
15251 | Is it possible, think you, for a person to be conceited of his miseries? 15251 Paul asked,"says he,"''What wilt Thou have me_ to do_?'' |
15251 | Surely-- what do we live for? |
15251 | What would my people do if I were not to pray? |
15251 | Why,he noted in his journal,"Why has God brought these cases before me_ this week_? |
15251 | Will you set agoing your Wednesday meeting again, immediately? 15251 Will you stand by and see sinners grasping under the pangs of death, and say, God doth not require me to make myself a drudge to save them? |
15251 | Ye have seen the right hand of the Lord plucked out of his bosom? 15251 ''Are there not twelve hours in the day?'' 15251 ''Can these dry bones live? 15251 ''Oh wretched man than I am, who shall deliver me from this body of sin and death?'' 15251 ''Shall I not drink it?'' 15251 ''What will it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?'' 15251 ''Where are the princes of Zoan?'' 15251 ''Where are the wise?'' 15251 1:16, 17, many ministers, as they came out, were heard saying,How was it we never thought of the duty of remembering Israel before?" |
15251 | 21._--Am I as willing as ever to preach to the lost heathen?" |
15251 | A.K., has the light visited her? |
15251 | Am I wholly deceiving my own heart? |
15251 | And did I pray as fervently as I spoke? |
15251 | And is it not worth the prayers and self- denying efforts of every believing man? |
15251 | And ought it not to be so with all of us? |
15251 | And yet, what hinders? |
15251 | Are there not( as he who has left us used to hope)"better ministers in store for Scotland than any that have yet arisen?" |
15251 | Are we not all immortal till our work is done?" |
15251 | Are we the bottle- stoppers of these heavenly dews? |
15251 | Are you_ an assured believer_? |
15251 | Asked me,''What is it to believe?'' |
15251 | Awfully important question, Am I redeeming the time?" |
15251 | But are you_ unassured_--nay,_ wholly unassured_? |
15251 | But how shall we that are dead to sin live any longer therein?" |
15251 | But is it not a moment which may remind us that the God who sent Elijah to the brook at Cherith is the same God still? |
15251 | But perhaps my old sins are too fearful, and my unbelief too glaring? |
15251 | But was there no grace? |
15251 | But what is classic learning to us now? |
15251 | But what is the voice to us? |
15251 | But who may tell Of the place of woe, Where the wicked dwell, Where the worldlings go? |
15251 | But would the forgiveness of sins not make you more happy than you are? |
15251 | Could this soul have learned salvation from me every time I saw him? |
15251 | Do I not only see it to be the Bible way of salvation, but does it cordially approve itself to my heart as delightful? |
15251 | Do such objectors suppose that God ever intends the honor of man in a work of Revival? |
15251 | Do you remember David? |
15251 | Does my heart really close with the offer of salvation by Jesus? |
15251 | Has this been sent as the stroke of wrath, or the rebuke of love? |
15251 | He gave out not merely living water, but living water drawn at the springs that he had himself drank of; and is not this a true gospel ministry? |
15251 | He had simply pointed to the fire of the furnace, and said,"What does that remind you of?" |
15251 | He hates sin, and I hate it; why did He not take it clean away?'' |
15251 | He says, Why should you not enjoy this pleasure as much as Solomon or David? |
15251 | Hence when one asked him, If he was never afraid of running short of sermons some day? |
15251 | Her sister was awakened under Mr. Baxter''s words in St. Peter''s, of whom he asked,''Would you like to be holy?'' |

15251 | How can this be with those chosen for the mighty office? |
15251 | How dwelleth the love of God in me? |
15251 | How many, O Lord, may they be? |
15251 | I do hope we shall go forth in the Spirit; and though straitened in language, may we not be blessed, as Brainerd was, through an interpreter? |
15251 | I feel it a very powerful argument with many:''Will you be left dry when others are getting drops of heavenly dew?'' |
15251 | I know well that there are prayers constantly ascending for you from your own house; and will you not pray for them back again? |
15251 | I say,''Why did God leave the root of lasciviousness, pride, anger, etc., in my bosom? |
15251 | If God see meet to put me into the ministry, who shall keep me back? |
15251 | If I be not meet, why should I be thrust forward? |
15251 | Is any one truly the Lord''s messenger who is not quite willing to go when and where the Lord calls? |
15251 | Is it a frown on our undertaking? |
15251 | Is it justifiable in any to put aside a call from the north, on the ground that he_ wishes_ one from the south? |
15251 | Is it my choice to be saved in the way which gives Him all the praise, and me none? |
15251 | Is it not the honor of his own name that He seeks? |
15251 | Is it simply for the love I bear to souls? |
15251 | Is it the desire of my heart to be made altogether holy? |
15251 | Is not that day set apart as a season wherein the Lord desires the refreshing rest of his own love to be offered to a fallen world? |
15251 | Is not the conversion of a soul more worthy to be spoken of than the taking of Acre?" |
15251 | Is not the true idea of preaching that of one, like Ahimaaz, coming with all- important tidings, and intent on making these tidings known? |
15251 | Is sin a grief to me, the sudden risings and overcomings thereof especially? |
15251 | Is the sin ours? |
15251 | Is there any sin I wish to retain? |
15251 | Is this the perfection of beauty? |
15251 | It may be naturally asked, What led him to wish to preach salvation to his fellow- sinners? |
15251 | Little changed, did I say? |
15251 | Lord, canst Thou bless partial, unequal efforts?" |
15251 | May we not be blessed also to save some English, and to stir up missionaries? |
15251 | Ministers of Christ, does not the Lord call upon us especially? |
15251 | Must not the disease be dangerous, when a tender- hearted surgeon cuts deep into the flesh? |
15251 | Must there not be somewhat of this missionary tendency in all true ministers? |
15251 | Now, do you think it would not give you more happiness to be forgiven,--to be able to put on Jesus, and say,''God''s anger is turned away?'' |
15251 | Often, however, did the faithful pastor mingle his tears with those of his younger fellow- soldier, complaining,"Lord, who hath believed our report?" |
15251 | Often, too, did he say to me, when thus stretched on the ground,--not impatiently, but very earnestly,--"Shall I ever preach to my people again?" |
15251 | Oh, why should I not weep, as Jesus did over Jerusalem? |
15251 | On hearing this awful test, he asked,"Were you able to preach it_ with tenderness_?" |
15251 | Quare? |
15251 | Shall I call the liveliness of this day a gale of the Spirit, or was all natural? |
15251 | She said,''But am I in Christ?'' |
15251 | Should I be less careful in washing my soul? |
15251 | Should it not be to all ministers a time for solemn inquiry? |
15251 | Should not we love the spots where our great Captain has won his amazing victories? |
15251 | Should we not mourn as for an only child? |
15251 | Should we not study prayer more?" |
15251 | Some of you will ask,''Is there no_ appropriating_ of Christ? |
15251 | The cities are changed,--where are they? |
15251 | The hand of man had been actively employed upon every mountain, but where were these laborers now? |
15251 | Then, why do I not show it more where I am? |
15251 | They knew him not-- They could not know; And even though, Why should they shed Above the dead Who slumbers here A single tear? |
15251 | This deepens and solemnizes all, and makes you go away, saying,''How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?''" |
15251 | Tuesday the 5th being the anniversary of his licence to preach the gospel, he writes:"Eventful week; one year I have preached_ Jesus_, have I? |
15251 | Was I faithful with this soul? |
15251 | What can I desire more? |

15251 | What if we should see the heavenly Jerusalem before the earthly? |
15251 | What plant can be unwatered and not wither?" |
15251 | What right have I to steal and abuse my Master''s time? |
15251 | What shall the unsaved among you do in the day of the Lord''s anger?" |
15251 | What should I fear? |
15251 | What though to fashion''s garish eye they seem Untutored and ungainly? |
15251 | When shall this self- choosing temper be healed? |
15251 | When the question was put to him,"Is it our duty to refuse ordination to any one who holds the views of Erastianism?" |
15251 | When the tears that we shed were the tears of our joy, And the pleasures of home were unmixed with alloy? |
15251 | Who can tell what wars go on within? |
15251 | Who is there of us that should ever feel otherwise? |
15251 | Who is there that does not see the deep design of Satan in seeking to effect an inroad on this most merciful appointment of God our Saviour? |

15251 | Why is a missionary life so often an object of my thoughts? |
15251 | Why should I give hours and days any longer to the vain world, when there is such a world of misery at my very door? |
15251 | Why should not selfishness be buried beneath the Atlantic in matters so sacred?" |
15251 | Why would I so much rather go to the East than to the West Indies? |
15251 | Why? |
15251 | Will God never cast the scenes of our labor near each other? |
15251 | Will the Sun of Righteousness ever rise upon it, making its hills and valleys bright with the light of the knowledge of Jesus?" |
15251 | Would not you be happier at work, and happier in the house, and happier in your bed? |
15251 | Would this make you less happy, do you think? |
15251 | Would you be ready to give your Jewish lecture on the evening of Sabbath week?... |
15251 | Yet why should I doubt? |
15251 | Yet why should we murmur, short- sighted and vain, Since death to that loved one was undying gain? |

9171 | Are its days numbered? |
9171 | Are some men, then,"_ created_"natural fools? |
9171 | Are they not"_ created_"just above the brute, with savage natures along with mental imbecility and physical degradation? |
9171 | Be divorced? |
9171 | But how does this fact prove that the Bible does not sanction slavery? |
9171 | But to proceed:-- Do you say the slave is_ sold and bought?_ So is the wife the world over. |
9171 | But what if God in his word says,"Both thy bondmen and thy bondmaids which thou shalt have shall be of the heathen that are round about you"? |
9171 | But why? |
9171 | But, if it did remain, does God command the master to send his Christianized slave into the horrors of his former African heathenism? |
9171 | But-- But what? |
9171 | Can all this be? |
9171 | Can the slave- holder, then, throw off wrong so long as he holds the slave at any time or anywhere thereafter?" |
9171 | Can this double emigration civilize Africa and more than re- people the South? |
9171 | Carry it out, and what is the progress and the end of it? |
9171 | Did Abraham have his slave- household circumcised? |
9171 | Did God merely permit sin?--did he merely tolerate a dreadful evil? |
9171 | Did they capture them in war?--did they sell their own children? |
9171 | Do I then teach that man should not seek the_ proof_ there is, of the perfection and attributes of God, in_ nature and providence_? |
9171 | Do they prove that"all men are created equal"? |
9171 | Do you admit_ their inferiority by_"CREATION?" |
9171 | Do you ask how? |
9171 | Do you ask if I then hold, that God ordains the Russian type of rule to be perpetual over that people? |
9171 | Do you reply that I have taken an extreme case? |
9171 | Do you say, The slave is held to_ involuntary service?_ So is the wife. |
9171 | Do you tell me that Abraham, by divine authority, made these servants part of his family, social and religious? |
9171 | Do you, sir, or anybody, contend that the Southern master seized his slave in Africa, and forcibly brought him away to America, contrary to law? |
9171 | Do, then, the facts in man''s natural history exhibit this departure from the laws of life and spirit? |
9171 | Does God require him to send the negro back to his heathen home from whence he was stolen? |
9171 | Does he give him authority to claim a created equality and unalienable right to be on a level with the white man in civil and social relations? |
9171 | Does he tell him to ask to be sent back to heathen Africa? |
9171 | For what does God say? |
9171 | For what is revelation? |
9171 | Had not Peter written,''Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward''? |
9171 | Has God, then, established the relations of husband and wife, parent and child, master and slave? |
9171 | Has he found the EXHIBITION of_ infinite power?_ No. |
9171 | Has it been even because thou couldst not_ hear_ my word? |
9171 | Have you a request from the South that you send a committee to inquire into slanders? |
9171 | Have you a_ prosecutor_, with his definite charge and witnesses? |
9171 | Have you_ Common Fame_, with her specified charges and witnesses? |
9171 | How? |
9171 | I ask again, Have the Russian serfs and nobles,--yea, all,--"consenting,"the right, from God, to make that change? |
9171 | I ask now,_ was Abraham a man- stealer?_ Oh, no, you reiterate: but the Southern master is. |
9171 | I then asked,"How many may he hold, in humanity?" |
9171 | In plainer words:--Did God command the Hebrews to make slaves of their fellow- men, to buy them and sell them, to regard them as their money? |
9171 | Is it self- love? |
9171 | Is it selfishness? |
9171 | Lastly, whether slavery itself can or can not pass away from this land and the world? |
9171 | May I thus give the mildest rebuke to your inconsistency of conduct? |
9171 | Must the Napoleons govern the Cretins without their"consent"? |
9171 | Need I extend these questions? |
9171 | Now comes the question, OUGHT he then to_ expect_ or_ desire_ liberty and equality? |
9171 | Now, I ask, Has the emperor_ right_, from God, to change at once, in his mere"_ consent_,"the_ form_ of his government to_ that_ of the United States? |
9171 | Or will you tell us the iniquity of the Canaanites was then full, and God''s time to punish them had come? |
9171 | Sir, are you not afraid that some of your once best men will soon have no better Bible than that? |
9171 | Sir, are you satisfied with these consequences of the agitation you have gotten up? |
9171 | Sir, do you bid us fear these coming events, thus casting their shadow before from the leaves of your book? |
9171 | Sir, may we know who are the descendants of the New England kidnappers? |
9171 | Sir, what has the missionary to say, after this perfect proof that you have mistaken the great law of right? |
9171 | Sir, why do your Northern church- members and philanthropists buy Southern products at all? |
9171 | Splendid in its genius, over which I have wept, and laughed, and got mad,( here some one said,"All at the same time?") |
9171 | Tell us if the Hebrew who thus had his ear bored by his master with an awl was not a slave for life? |
9171 | Tell us what was the condition of the woman in case the man chose to"go out"without her? |
9171 | Tell us, lastly, whether those children were not slaves? |
9171 | The great question of the world is, WHAT IS TO BE THE FUTURE OF THE AMERICAN SLAVE?--WHAT IS TO BE THE FUTURE OF THE AMERICAN MASTER? |
9171 | Then, did the Hebrews sin when they obeyed God''s command? |
9171 | This passage of Scripture settles the question, From whence has government RIGHT to rule, and what is the_ extent_ of its power? |
9171 | WHAT is RIGHT AND WRONG? |
9171 | Was it not then of my responsibility to send him again to Philemon? |
9171 | Was it wrong in the nature of things? |
9171 | We reach the same conclusion by asking, What does God say to the negro- slave? |
9171 | Well, how did the heathen, then, get slaves to sell? |
9171 | Well, sir, what does your Boston Dr. Nehemiah Adams say? |
9171 | What Is the Foundation of Moral Obligation? |
9171 | What can you do? |
9171 | What can you do? |
9171 | What can you do? |
9171 | What does this passage mean? |
9171 | What else has hindered? |
9171 | What else was my duty and his? |
9171 | What if we may then choose between Albert Barnes''s philosophy and God''s truth? |
9171 | What is his relation? |
9171 | What is it? |
9171 | What is their wealth? |
9171 | What more can I say to them in this day? |
9171 | What next? |
9171 | What next? |
9171 | What now is man? |
9171 | What other slaves would love their masters better than themselves?--rock them and fan them in their cradles? |
9171 | What then? |
9171 | What then? |
9171 | What then? |
9171 | What was done for them? |
9171 | What was the sin? |
9171 | What would be_ human social life?_ Who would be the weak, the loving? |
9171 | What would be_ human social life?_ Who would be the weak, the loving? |
9171 | What would be_ human_ virtue, what_ human_ vice, what_ human_ joy or sorrow? |
9171 | What''s the difference between my filching this blood- stained cotton from the outraged negro, and your standing by, taking it from me? |
9171 | What''s the difference? |
9171 | What, then, does God command him to do? |
9171 | What, then, is it to kidnap or steal a man? |
9171 | What, then, is our gain? |
9171 | When women despise the Bible, what next? |
9171 | When would the war end? |
9171 | Where can they go? |
9171 | Wherefore is this? |
9171 | Who would be the grateful? |
9171 | Who would be the humble, the meek? |
9171 | Who would be the victors where all are giants? |
9171 | Who would seek or need forbearance, compassion, self- denying benevolence? |
9171 | Who would sue for peace where none will submit? |
9171 | Why do you buy? |
9171 | Why hast thou imagined such license to iniquity? |
9171 | Why hast thou in all this changed my Golden Rule? |
9171 | Why hast thou made void my law, by making me say,''All that thou_ expectest_ or_ desirest_ of others, in similar circumstances, do to them''? |
9171 | Why hast thou tortured that plain truth? |
9171 | Why? |
9171 | Why? |
9171 | Why? |
9171 | Why? |
9171 | Why? |
9171 | Will you give dollar for dollar to equalize our loss? |
9171 | Will you give me back$ 10,000? |
9171 | Will you now come to our help? |
9171 | Will you run away, with your stick and your bundle? |
9171 | Will you say that you are free,--that you will go where you please, do as you please? |
9171 | Will you then ostracize the South and compel the abolition of slavery? |
9171 | Will you, then, tell New England, and especially little Rhoda, We have purified our skirts from the blood: forgive us, and take us again to your love? |
9171 | Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? |
9171 | Wisner_.--Does the brother propose to go into it here? |
9171 | Yes, yes? |
9171 | Your tract, just published, is, I suppose, intended by you to prepare the next General Assembly for such movement? |
9171 | _ Is the Southern Master a Man- Stealer_? |
9171 | _ Was Abraham a Man- Stealer?_ Sir, what is the common sense of these Scriptures? |
9171 | _ Was Abraham a Man- Stealer?_ Sir, what is the common sense of these Scriptures? |
9171 | _ Was the Israelite Master a Man- Stealer?_ I now ask, Did God intend to make man- stealing and slave- holding the same thing? |
9171 | _ Was the Israelite Master a Man- Stealer?_ I now ask, Did God intend to make man- stealing and slave- holding the same thing? |
9171 | _ What is sin_, as a mental state? |
9171 | and what is his obligation? |
9171 | and, in thousands of illustrious instances, be willing to give life, and, in fact, die, to serve or save them? |
9171 | caress them-- how tenderly!--boys and girls? |
9171 | honor them, grown up, as superior beings? |
9171 | that everybody admits sensible people must govern natural fools? |
9171 | what''s that?" |
9171 | why do n''t ye throw the cotton in the sea, as your fathers did the tea? |
9171 | why hast thou not understood my speech to Hagar? |
13204 | He that planted the ear, shall He not hear? 13204 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone?" |
13204 | If these things are done in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry? |
13204 | If weakness may excuse, What murderer, what traitor, parricide, Incestuous, sacrilegious, may not plead it? 13204 Is the law sin?" |
13204 | Tell me,says St. Paul,"ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? |
13204 | Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking of the law, dishonorest thou God? |
13204 | Thou that teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? 13204 Who can hold a fire in his hand, By thinking on the frosty Caucasus? |
13204 | [ 1] But can we suppose that such a sincere, such a truthful and such a holy Being as the Son of God would stoop to any such artifice as this? 13204 [ 3] But, is the sense of duty_ beautiful_ to apostate man? |
13204 | _ How_ shall I believe? |
13204 | 20.--"The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?" |
13204 | 20.--"The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?" |
13204 | 21--23.--"Thou therefore which, teachest another, teachest Thou not thyself? |
13204 | 28, 29.--"Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? |
13204 | Again, does the law search me, and probe me, and elicit me, and reveal me, until I would shrink out of the sight of God and of myself? |
13204 | Again, is a man conscious of the corruption of his heart? |
13204 | Am I not completely baffled, the moment I attempt to construct the consciousness of the unearthly state? |
13204 | And is there any injustice in this? |
13204 | And now we ask, if this state of things ought to last forever? |
13204 | And now we ask: Can the law generate all this excellence within the human soul? |
13204 | And now what is the effect of this combination of command and threatening upon the agent? |
13204 | And think you that God will not grant a request which He himself has inspired? |
13204 | And upon_ such_ terms, can not the criminal well afford to examine into his crime? |
13204 | And where are the results? |
13204 | And why should it? |
13204 | Are they deluded in respect to the doctrine of human depravity, and are you in the right? |
13204 | Are we, then, sinners, and in fear for the final result of our life? |
13204 | Are you prepared for the impending and inevitable disclosures and revelations of the day of judgment? |
13204 | As the deteriorating process advances, does not the guilt diminish? |
13204 | But are we at ease and self- contented? |
13204 | But he who will not even look at his sin,--what does not he deserve from that Being who poured out His own blood for it? |
13204 | But is the Bible untrue, because the man is ignorant? |
13204 | But is this so? |
13204 | But the real penitent rebuked him, saying:"Dost thou not fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? |
13204 | But what do I know of the surroundings and experience of a man who has travelled from time into eternity? |
13204 | But what does all this reasoning and querying imply? |
13204 | But what is the lesson which we are to read by this clear and solemn light? |
13204 | But what is this compared with the suffering soul? |
13204 | But when he put the other question to himself: Will the Deity_ pardon_ me for my transgression? |
13204 | But where is the man? |
13204 | But why do they confine this species of reasoning to the pagan world? |
13204 | But, how is this lack to be supplied? |
13204 | By what law? |
13204 | Can God say to the hardened Judas: Son be of good cheer, thy sin is forgiven thee? |
13204 | Can He speak to the traitor as He speaks to the Magdalen? |
13204 | Can I not do what I will with mine own? |
13204 | Can a perfect heart be originated in a sinner by these two methods? |
13204 | Can any being do a wrong act, and be as sound in his will and as spiritually strong, after it, as he was before it? |
13204 | Can it be that sheer imposture and error have such a tenacious vitality as this? |
13204 | Can it be that the truth that there is only one God is native to the human spirit, and that the pagan"_ knows_"this God? |
13204 | Can it be that there is a moral law written upon their hearts forbidding such carnality, and enjoining purity and holiness? |
13204 | Can it be that this strong and steady draft of conscience,--strong and steady as gravitation,--will ultimately prove ineffectual? |
13204 | Can the moral law originate this? |
13204 | Can you say with David,"We give thanks and rejoice, at the remembrance of Thy holiness?" |
13204 | Do men at such times find that sincere desires, and longings, and aspirations, come at their beck? |
13204 | Do they tell you that they are uniformly successful in inducing these sinners to leave their sins? |
13204 | Do we feel ourselves to be guilty beings; do we hunger, and do we thirst for the expiation of our sins? |
13204 | Do you ask me to make myself wholly miserable?" |
13204 | Do you ask, What one particular single thing shall I do, that I may be safe for time and eternity? |
13204 | Do you believe that there is an eternal world, and that the general features of this mode of existence have been scripturally depicted? |
13204 | Do you come to us with the theory that every human creature will be happy in another life, and that the doctrine of future misery is false? |
13204 | Do you know that your love of sin has the power to stifle and overcome the mightiest of your fears, when you are strongly tempted to self- indulgence? |
13204 | Do you tell us that God is too good to punish men, and that therefore it must be that He is merciful? |
13204 | Do you_ love_ God''s holy character? |
13204 | Does his consciousness of inward poverty assume this form? |
13204 | Does it congenially sway and incline him? |
13204 | Does the holy law of God overarch him like the firmament,"tinged with a blue of heavenly dye, and starred with sparkling gold?" |
13204 | Does the law, in its abrupt and terrible operation in my conscience, start out the feeling of guiltiness until I throb with anguish, and moral fear? |
13204 | Does the stern behest,"Do this or die,"secure his willing and joyful obedience? |
13204 | Else, why do these pangs and fears shoot and flash through it, every now and then? |
13204 | For example:"Where is boasting then? |
13204 | For how can his sin be pardoned, unless it is clearly understood by the pardoning power? |
13204 | For, think you that the insensible sinner is always to be thus insensible,--that this power of self- inspection is eternally to"rust unused?" |
13204 | For, who of the race of man is holy enough to stand such an inspection? |
13204 | Has he attained the chief end of man? |
13204 | Has religion reached its last term, and ultimate limit, when man respects the rights of property? |
13204 | Has the Deity spoken to you in particular, and told you that He will forgive your sin, and my sin, and that of all the generations? |
13204 | Have you a private revelation of your own? |
13204 | He still has a capacity for loving; but in eternity where is the fame, the wealth, the pleasure upon which he has hitherto expended it? |
13204 | He that formed the eye, shall He not see?" |
13204 | He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?" |
13204 | How can God administer forgiveness, unless there is a correlated temper to receive it? |
13204 | How can his soul be purified from its inward corruption, unless it is searched by the Spirit of all holiness? |
13204 | How can we endure such a scrutiny as God is instituting into our character and conduct? |
13204 | How do you establish the guilt of those at the end of the line? |
13204 | How is this great hiatus in human character to be filled up? |
13204 | How shall he resist temptation, unless he has some_ fear_ of God before his eyes? |
13204 | How shall the fountain of holy and filial affection towards God be made to gush up into everlasting life, within your now unloving and hostile heart? |
13204 | How then can he be brought in guilty before the same eternal bar, and be condemned to the same eternal punishment, with the nominal Christian? |
13204 | How, then, can the mere reproaches and remorse of conscience be regarded as evidence of piety? |
13204 | I ask, therefore, Wast thou ever killed stark dead by the law of works contained in the Scriptures? |
13204 | If Christianity is a delusion and a lie, why does it not die out, and disappear? |
13204 | If the Sovereign has a perfect right to say whether He will or will not pardon the criminal, has He not the same right to say_ how_ He will do it? |
13204 | If the foundations themselves of morals and religion are destroyed, what can be done for the salvation of the creature? |
13204 | If this experience has been forced upon him, shall he meet it with the port and bearing of a strong man? |
13204 | If you can admire and praise them, in this style, why do you not_ love_ them? |
13204 | If you view your own personal sin in reference to your own personal fears, are you not a slave to it? |
13204 | In trying to judge of the final condition of a pagan outside of revelation, we must ask the question: Was he penitent? |
13204 | Is a man, then, sensible that his understanding is darkened by sin, and that he is destitute of clear and just apprehensions of divine things? |
13204 | Is he moulded by it? |
13204 | Is it not so in our own personal experience? |
13204 | Is it not_ too late_ for such a creature as man now is to adopt the method of salvation by the works of the law? |
13204 | Is not that a strange act by which he, for a time, duplicates his own unity, and sets himself to look at himself? |
13204 | Is not that a wonderful process by which a man knows, not some other thing but,_ himself_? |
13204 | Is not the one the measure of the other? |
13204 | Is not truth mighty, and must it not finally prevail, to the pulling down of the stronghold which Satan has in the human heart? |
13204 | Is such a heart as this"conformed unto"the law and will of God? |
13204 | Is the evil removed by denying its existence? |
13204 | Is the question, then, of the Jews, pressing upon your mind? |
13204 | Is the sun black, because the eye is shut? |
13204 | Is there not a wonderful power to_ convict_ of sin, in this test? |
13204 | Is there not rain enough in the sweet heavens To wash it white as snow? |
13204 | Is thine eye evil because I am good?" |
13204 | Is this religious perfection? |
13204 | Is this the_ original_ and_ necessary_ relation which law sustains to the will and affections of an accountable creature? |
13204 | Is''t no worse for the wear? |
13204 | It is not the highest expression of the religious feeling, when we say,"How can I do this great wickedness, and sin against my conscience?" |
13204 | Killed by the law or letter, and made to see thy sins against it, and left in an helpless condition by the law? |
13204 | Must the pure and holy law of God, from the very nature of things, be a weariness and a curse? |
13204 | Must there not be an inveterate opposition and resistance in the_ heart_? |
13204 | Nay, why is it that he finds it impossible fully to believe that Jehovah is a sin- pardoning God, unless he is enabled so to do by the Holy Ghost? |
13204 | Never for a moment, in the endless cycles, can it look away from its Maker; for in His presence what other object is there to look at? |
13204 | No, He''s forever in a smiling mood; He''s like themselves; or how could He be good? |
13204 | Of what use would it have been to offer mercy, before the sense of its need had been elicited? |
13204 | On the contrary, is he not excited to opposition by it? |
13204 | On the contrary, should I not be the most wretched of mortals? |
13204 | Or cloy the hungry edge of appetite, By bare imagination of a feast? |
13204 | Or wallow naked in December snow, By thinking on fantastic summer heat? |
13204 | Or, in other words:_ Why can not the ten commandments save a sinner_? |
13204 | Or, is there anything in the performance of duty,--in the act of obeying law,--that is adapted to produce this result, by taking away guilt? |
13204 | Ought not this state of things to be reversed? |
13204 | Ought this guilty carnal enjoyment to be perpetuated through all eternity, under the government of a righteous and just God? |
13204 | Our Lord, by his searching reply to the young ruler''s question,"What lack I yet?" |
13204 | Received ye the Spirit, by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? |
13204 | Return you me guilt, lethargy, despair? |
13204 | Shall pleasures of a short duration chain A lady''s soul in everlasting pain? |
13204 | Shall the ten commandments of Sinai, in any of their forms or uses, send a cooling and calming virtue through the hot conscience? |
13204 | Should we not be more circumspect than we are, if men were able mutually to search each other''s hearts? |
13204 | The great question that presses upon the human mind, from age to age, is the inquiry: Is God a merciful Being, and will He show mercy? |
13204 | The instant he put the question: Will God_ punish_ me for my transgression? |
13204 | The text leads us to inquire:_ Why can not the moral law make fallen man perfect_? |
13204 | Think you that the deathbed and the day of judgment will prove this to be the fact? |
13204 | Think you that there is nothing_ lacking_ in such a character as this? |
13204 | Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? |
13204 | To whom, then, can such an one go but unto Him? |
13204 | Was, then, that which is good made death unto this youth, by a_ Divine_ arrangement? |
13204 | We grant that the temptations that assail him are very powerful; but are not some of the temptations that beset you and me very powerful? |
13204 | What are the"good things"which Dives receives here, for which he must be"tormented"hereafter? |
13204 | What can we do, in that day which shall reveal the thoughts and the estimates of the Holy One respecting us? |
13204 | What can we say, in the day of reckoning, when the Searcher of hearts shall make known, to us all that He knows of us? |
13204 | What does he know of the burden of sin? |
13204 | What heathen will not need an atonement, for his failure to live up even to the light of nature? |
13204 | What is the_ ground_ and_ reason_ of such an answer as this? |
13204 | What pagan has ever realized the truths of natural conscience, in his inward character and his outward life? |
13204 | What pagan is there in all the generations that will not be found guilty before the bar of natural religion? |
13204 | What would our merciful Redeemer have us learn from this passage which He has caused to be recorded for our instruction? |
13204 | What, then, is gained, by proposing another than the Biblical theory of human nature? |
13204 | What, then, is the religion that is to be received? |
13204 | When God teaches,"Where is the wise? |
13204 | When the commandment"_ comes_,"loaded down with menace and damnation, does not sin"revive,"as the Apostle affirms? |
13204 | When we look into our hearts, and find no holy reverence there, ought we not to be filled with shame and sorrow? |
13204 | When, therefore, the young ruler''s question,"What lack I?" |
13204 | Where then do you send me for the information, and the testimony? |
13204 | Whereto serves mercy, But to confront the visage of offence? |
13204 | Whither then shall we go from God''s spirit? |
13204 | Who can feel himself amenable to a moral law, without at the same time thinking of its Author? |
13204 | Who has ever realized these wishes and aspirations, in his heart and conduct? |
13204 | Who is he that condemmeth? |
13204 | Who is he that condemneth, when it is Christ that died, and God that justifies? |
13204 | Who of the sons of men will prove pure in such a furnace? |
13204 | Who of this class voluntarily makes himself unhappy, by thinking of subjects that are gloomy to his mind? |
13204 | Who of us would not be filled with uneasiness, if he knew that an imperfect fellow- creature were looking constantly into his soul? |
13204 | Who shall lay anything to God''s elect? |
13204 | Why can he not be saved by the law of works? |
13204 | Why do they not bring it into nominal Christendom, and apply it there? |
13204 | Why does he not tell us that because this civilized man acts no better, therefore he knows no better? |
13204 | Why does the drowning man instinctively ask for God''s mercy? |
13204 | Why is he so summarily shut up to the law of faith? |
13204 | Why is it, that when the character of Christ bows your intellect, it does not bend your will, and sway your affections? |
13204 | Why is man invited to the method of faith in another, instead of the method of faith in himself? |
13204 | Why is not his first spontaneous thought the true one? |
13204 | Why is the commandment enunciated in the Scriptures, and why is the Christian ministry perpetually preaching it to men dead in trespasses and sins? |
13204 | Why should he not obtain eternal life by resolutely proceeding to do his duty, and keeping the law of God? |
13204 | Why should not you and I mourn over the total want of the image of God in our hearts, as much as over any other form and species of sin? |
13204 | Why should they be weary and heavy- laden with a sense of their unworthiness before God, and you go through life indifferent and light- hearted? |
13204 | Why should ye be stricken, any more? |
13204 | Why, the very function and office- work of law, in all its forms, is to condemn and terrify the transgressor; how then can it calm and soothe him? |
13204 | Why, then, does every man need these influences of the Holy Spirit which are so cordially offered in the text? |
13204 | Will he say that the population that knew enough to build the pyramids did not know enough to break the law of God? |
13204 | Will the great Author us poor worms destroy, For now and then a sip of transient joy? |
13204 | Will the mere calling men good at heart, and by nature, make them such? |
13204 | Will the objector really take the position and stand to it, that the pagan man is not a rational and responsible creature? |
13204 | Wilt thou, then, not be afraid of the power? |
13204 | With these kindling flashes in his guilt- stricken spirit, shall he run into the very identical fire that kindled them? |
13204 | Would David have dared to say:"This is the work of God,--this is the saving act,--that ye believe in me?" |
13204 | Would Paul have presumed to say to the anxious inquirer:"Your soul is safe, if you trust in me?" |
13204 | Would he not feel, with a misery and a shame that could not be expressed, that he was naked? |
13204 | Would not this self- knowledge be pure living torment? |
13204 | Would you have the Almighty pay a bounty upon unrighteousness, and place goodness under eternal pains and penalties? |
13204 | You who approve of the law of God as pure and perfect, why do you not conform your own heart and conduct to it? |
13204 | You who know the character and claims of God, and are able to state them to another, why do you not revere and obey them in your own person? |
13204 | [ 3] And do we not hear this theory repeated by the modern unbeliever? |
13204 | [ Footnote 4: ANSELM: Cur Deus Homo? |
13204 | all would be set second to the simple single inquiry:"Shall I think, shall I feel, shall I know?" |
13204 | and how was this to be elicited, but by the solemn and authoritative enunciation of law and justice? |
13204 | and what are the"evil things"which Lazarus receives in this world, for which he will be"comforted"in the world to come? |
13204 | how can ye escape the damnation of hell?" |

13204 | that He who called Himself The Truth would employ a lie, either directly or indirectly, even to promote the spiritual welfare of men? |
13204 | that because he neither fears nor loves the one only God, therefore he does not know that there is any such Being? |
13204 | that he does not possess sufficient knowledge of moral truth, to justify his being brought to the bar of judgment? |

13204 | thou that makest thy boast of the law, through, breaking the law dishonorest thou God?" |

13941 | He that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully: what is the chaff to the wheat, saith the Lord? |
13941 | How shall they preach except they be sent? |
13941 | How shall they preach except they be sent? |
13941 | Judge in yourselves, is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? 13941 Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? |
13941 | Therefore the ruling elders( in the reformed churches) that take no maintenance of the church, are not the elders that rule well here mentioned? |
13941 | They were pricked in their heart, and said to Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? |
13941 | Who is that faithful and wise steward? |
13941 | & c. Nay, hath not Christ laid this task of authoritative preaching only upon his own officers? |
13941 | ( as those of contrary judgment argue:) if one be taken in as an inimitable practice, why not the other? |
13941 | 1, 2; but there the Jews had judicatories, that inflicted public punishments upon persons ecclesiastically offending? |
13941 | 10, who can forbid us to argue so? |
13941 | 12, 13,& c., was he therefore not an apostle to them, as to other churches of whom he took maintenance? |
13941 | 17? |
13941 | 19: and have fathers no authority nor power of government over their children? |
13941 | 19; is therefore the woman preferred before the man? |
13941 | 19? |
13941 | 2, and before that, all the time from Christ, wherein is she maimed or defective in her authority? |
13941 | 20, and by us ordinarily to be imitated; how else is it a communion? |
13941 | 21, that you may in all your ways honor and glorify him, as the end of your living in this world? |
13941 | 26- 28, and elsewhere? |
13941 | 28; and therefore how can such acts be sufficiently excused from bold usurpation upon Christ''s own prerogative? |
13941 | 28? |
13941 | 29, 30, which plainly points out different officers, persons not gifts, besides those three:_ Are all apostles? |
13941 | 3, that some of them, probably many of them, both men and women, were haled and committed to prison? |
13941 | 31; but he intended it only to the prophets respectively, not to all the members; for he saith elsewhere,"Are all prophets?" |
13941 | 4, 5,"Have not we liberty to eat and drink? |
13941 | 6, 12, not for their far travels up and down several countries to propagate the gospel, for where are Mary and Persis reported to have done this? |
13941 | 7, and in other places; but doth it therefore follow, that none have the power of ruling, but those that have the power of preaching? |
13941 | 8, 9,& c."If a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?" |
13941 | A perfect enumeration and description of scandals can be made in no book but in the Scriptures; and when all is done, must we not refer thither? |
13941 | Again,_ Paul and Barnabas equally travelled together, but Paul was chief speaker_: what then? |
13941 | All the doubt will be, whom the apostle intended by these governments? |
13941 | And can that be arbitrary, which is not at all according to man''s will, but only according to Christ''s rule, limiting and ordering man''s will? |
13941 | And can we think that the laborious Paul intended to dignify, patronize, or encourage idle drones, lazy, sluggish, seldom preachers? |
13941 | And do not the churches of Christ generally conclude upon these grounds, that the Lord''s- day sabbath is of divine warrant? |
13941 | And do you prefer it to all earthly, carnal things? |
13941 | And doth not this lead us plainly to the ruling elder? |
13941 | And how shall any part of it be derived from Christ to man, but by some fit intervening mean betwixt Christ and man? |
13941 | And how should these thirteen ministers be employed, if there were not many congregations? |
13941 | And if all this laid together will not clearly evince the divine right of the ruling elder, what will? |
13941 | And if not, where is the strength or force of this kind of arguing from the light of nature? |
13941 | And in this sense the Holy Ghost ofttimes useth this word in the New Testament; as for instance,"Is not the life better than meat?" |
13941 | And is not that officer IA the Church of divine right, which God himself, by his own act and authority, sets therein? |
13941 | And was this so hideous a desire? |
13941 | And what is all this to the purpose for which his example is urged? |
13941 | And what mean of conveyance betwixt Christ and man can suffice, if it do not amount to an authentic grant or commission for such power? |
13941 | And where shall we stop? |
13941 | And who fitter to make it than those who are to enjoy the use thereof, if their senses be exercised to discern good and evil? |
13941 | And why are divers congregations styled one church? |
13941 | And will not such meetings have bitterness in the end? |
13941 | And, without some evidence of this, what ground have we to expect a blessing in waiting upon their ministry? |
13941 | Are all and every one of the multitude of the faithful able to teach, exhort, and convince? |
13941 | Are apostolical gifts no gifts, or power no power? |
13941 | Are not the brethren, the church, the whole church, mentioned here as well as the apostles and elders? |
13941 | Are there two first subjects of the same adjuncts? |
13941 | Are these things so indeed? |
13941 | Are you glad when you find it, and sad when by your own carelessness you lose it? |
13941 | Are you grieved in spirit, because you can love him no more? |
13941 | Are your lusts your heaviest burdens and your greatest afflictions, and do you intend and endeavor their utter ruin and destruction? |
13941 | But how should this be the meaning? |
13941 | But if the whole Church be the dispenser of the mysteries of God, what shall be the object of this dispensation? |
13941 | But is the word subject used here properly, for the first subject recipient of all church offices, with all their gifts and power? |
13941 | But might not this be a meeting merely for consultation, and their decision a mere advice? |
13941 | But this is absurd; for if all be officers, where is the organical body? |
13941 | But what do such records instruct us? |
13941 | But whence is this power originally derived to them? |
13941 | But who shall determine whether they walk in judgment and peace, or not? |
13941 | But why hath not the Scripture determined these assemblies in particular? |
13941 | But,_ how shall they preach except they be sent_? |
13941 | Can any man pretend to know better what gifts suit the case of my soul than I do myself? |
13941 | Can ministers''reading of sermons consist with the dignity of their office? |
13941 | Could these ordain their pastors or other ecclesiastic officers, to what purpose did Paul leave Titus at Crete to_ ordain elders in every city_? |
13941 | Did Jesus or his apostles ever show them an example of this? |
13941 | Did they only tarry to gather a new church? |
13941 | Do the nobles live forever? |
13941 | Do you desire and choose Jesus Christ for the great object of your love, delight, and joy? |
13941 | Do you indeed aim at, desire, labor, and strive, to be holy in heart and life, and conformable unto Jesus Christ in all things possible? |
13941 | Do you seriously and heartily desire and endeavor never to sin more; but to walk with God unto all well- pleasing continually? |
13941 | Do you so seek for it in the way of gospel obedience, and in observing your duty in keeping Christ''s commandments? |
13941 | Do you thus desire and choose to have him with his yoke and cross? |
13941 | Do your hearts breathe and pant after it, and are you willing to deny self, and all self- interests to get it? |
13941 | Doth his love and loveliness attract your hearts to him, and cause you to yield the obedience of faith to his holy laws? |
13941 | Doth it lead you unto, and cause your hearts to centre in Christ? |
13941 | Doth it warm your hearts, and cause them for a time to run your race in gospel obedience cheerfully? |
13941 | Doth it when obtained quicken your love to and zeal for Christ? |
13941 | Doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man hath long hair, it is a shame to him? |
13941 | Doth not this interpretation allow a double honor to ministers that labor not so much as others in the word? |
13941 | Doth not ungodliness in these last times abound, according to the same apostle''s prediction? |
13941 | For how can they fulfil their ministry, if others take the work out of their hand? |
13941 | For the first, What is meant by the true light of nature, or natural reason? |
13941 | For this seems a needless exhortation; what church would not readily yield an especial honor to apostles and evangelists above pastors and teachers? |
13941 | For what work? |
13941 | For whence had they it? |
13941 | For where doth Scripture allow such power to the community in such cases? |
13941 | For will any man that knoweth what it is to reason, reason from the general to the particular and special affirmatively? |
13941 | For, 1. Who should tyrannize, what persons, what ruling assemblies? |
13941 | Further, if the believers of Jerusalem voted in that assembly, by what authority was it? |
13941 | Has our adored Redeemer thus intrusted to his adult members the election of their pastors? |
13941 | Hath not he that_ catechizeth_ power for government of him that is_ catechized_? |
13941 | Hath not the_ pastor_ power to rule and govern his_ flock_? |
13941 | Hath therefore the fraternity, as well as the presbytery, power to cast him out? |
13941 | Have not stewards power to govern and order those_ families_ over which they are set, and wherewith they are intrusted? |
13941 | Have not the people a divine right to choose their own pastors and other church officers? |
13941 | Have not we liberty to lead about a sister, a wife?" |
13941 | Have not_ builders_ power of disposing and ordering affairs appertaining to the_ building_? |
13941 | Have not_ overseers_ power over that which is_ committed to their inspection_? |
13941 | Have they liberty of electing their own[5] officers, pastors, elders, and deacons? |
13941 | Have they only those officers which Christ himself hath appointed, pastors and teachers, ruling elders and deacons? |
13941 | Have you a measure of spiritual knowledge and discerning of spiritual things? |
13941 | He that_ teacheth_ of him that is_ taught_? |
13941 | How can it be acceptable to God, or profitable to ourselves? |
13941 | How can they tyrannize over any? |
13941 | How can they_ commit it to faithful men_, if, not waiting their commission, men rush into it at pleasure? |
13941 | How does it appear that inferior courts are subordinate to those that are superior; sessions to presbyteries, and presbyteries to synods? |
13941 | How does it appear that no power of authority is lodged in the body of the people, the private members of the church? |
13941 | How does it appear that the power of all the members was ordinary and equal? |
13941 | How does it appear that there is a particular form of government appointed in the New Testament Church? |
13941 | How does it appear that there were judicial decrees given by this synod? |
13941 | How does it appear, that Scripture consequences are to be admitted to prove any particular truth or doctrine? |
13941 | How does it appear, that this synod followed the ordinary method of procedure in such courts? |
13941 | How hath Christ committed this power of the keys to his church guides, that thereby they become the most proper receptacle thereof? |
13941 | How many sorts of binding examples are propounded unto us in Scripture, and which are those examples? |
13941 | How shall old, decrepit bishops rule well, when they can not labor in the word and doctrine? |
13941 | How shall the men, who maintain the principle''s of the Independents, clearly help themselves out of these perplexing absurdities? |
13941 | How shall they be officers in the Church that are not so much as members of the Church? |
13941 | How then can the preaching, or our hearing, of such, be in faith? |
13941 | How, or in what sense the ruling officers are intrusted with this government, severally or jointly? |
13941 | How, without this, can they do it warrantably or profitably? |
13941 | If a man be scandalized by the neighbor- church, to whom shall he complain? |
13941 | If all the believers were scattered, to what end did the apostles tarry at Jerusalem-- to preach to the walls? |
13941 | If he comes unsent, how can I expect edification by his ministry, when God has declared,_ such shall not profit his people at all_? |
13941 | If he may, whether shall he appeal regularly but to an associated presbytery? |
13941 | If in a city all were aldermen, where were the citizens? |
13941 | If in a kingdom all were kings, where were the subjects, the people, the commonalty, the commonwealth, or the political government? |
13941 | If not, what hinders? |
13941 | If the congregation generally oppose, with what candor do the presbytery, in Jesus''name, determine that he is fit? |
13941 | If they have the power of electing one ordinary officer, why not of all? |
13941 | If they must love them so exceedingly for ruling over them, must they not much more be obedient to this rule? |
13941 | In such cases two are better than one:"Wo to them that are alone; if they fall, who shall take them up?" |
13941 | Is Christ the Lord as acceptable to you as Christ Jesus the Saviour? |
13941 | Is all hypocrisy hateful and abominable unto you? |
13941 | Is it for any end? |
13941 | Is it for no end? |
13941 | Is it not as necessary that by government sin be suppressed, piety promoted, and the Church edified, now as well as then? |
13941 | Is it not the fruit of his ascension,& c.? |
13941 | Is it the great thing you aim at, in your profession and practice, to attain sincerity and uprightness in heart? |
13941 | Is the foot to be lanced? |
13941 | Is the office of the gospel minister instituted by God to continue to the end of time? |
13941 | Is the word subject here used improperly, for object, whose good all offices with their gifts and power are given? |
13941 | Is there not now a more free and permitted intercourse of society with infidels than in those times? |
13941 | Nay, he deserves not the very name of such an officer in the church: why should he be called a pastor that doth not feed? |
13941 | Nor doth the apostle''s expression, verse 12,"Do you not judge them that are within?" |
13941 | Now doth not this tacitly insinuate, that some ministers may rule well, and be worthy of double honor, though they labor not in the word and doctrine? |
13941 | Now the question is, How were the different congregations in each of these places ONE CHURCH? |
13941 | Now, where there were so many pastors, were there not several congregations for them to feed? |
13941 | Now, who can imagine that the apostles and disciples were not actuated by the Spirit of Christ bestowed upon them? |
13941 | On earth, was ever delusion carried on without pretence to, or without appearances of these? |
13941 | Only_ in fact_, that such things were done by the first churches? |
13941 | Or can we think that the apostles were not as careful to erect elderships in several congregations, as to appoint elders? |
13941 | Or in what respects? |
13941 | Or in what sense is such power committed to them? |
13941 | Or is apostleship no office? |
13941 | Or was the_ world, life, death, things present and to come_, given to the wicked in the church of Corinth? |
13941 | Or were they idle, neglecting the exercise and improvement of their talents? |
13941 | Or what apostolical church ever assumed to themselves any such thing? |
13941 | Or where are their accusers? |
13941 | Or, had all the members of the church been driven from Jerusalem, how were the apostles to be employed? |
13941 | Shall all those relations be mere names and shadows? |
13941 | Shall their dwelling continue to all generations? |
13941 | So if in the family all were masters, where were the household? |
13941 | Suppose it were otherwise, might not a poor widow''s_ two mites_ be more in Jesus''account than all he gives? |
13941 | The Scripture, however, nowhere saith, how shall they preach except they be gracious? |
13941 | The command is directed to them all, when they are gathered together,(_ and what is that but to a church meeting?_) to proceed against him, 1 Cor. |
13941 | The rich fathers, where are they? |
13941 | They may not administer the seals, the sacraments, baptize,& c. under the New Testament; for who gave the people any such authority? |
13941 | To render the point incontestably evident, he demands, how men shall preach_ except they be sent_? |
13941 | To what end, if they had not several congregations of several languages, to speak in these several tongues unto them? |
13941 | To what end? |
13941 | V. Do you seriously and heartily choose and desire communion with Christ, and in truth endeavor to obtain and keep it? |
13941 | VII.,) and shall he be counted worthy of double honor that neglects a principal duty of his office? |
13941 | Were not that to make the magistratical power both really the same with itself, and yet really and essentially different from itself? |
13941 | What are the courts in which presbyterian rulers meet? |
13941 | What are the duties of church members towards one another? |
13941 | What are the duties of deacons? |

13941 | What church officers or members of elderships are of divine right? |
13941 | What discriminatory notes or rules may we walk by, for finding out the obligatory force of scripture examples; and what manner of examples those be? |
13941 | What effect had the decision of this synod upon the churches? |
13941 | What hath God set in the Church? |
13941 | What is it then? |
13941 | What is meant by Christ''s committing this stewardly power first and immediately to the church guides? |
13941 | What is meant by church government? |
13941 | What is meant by church guides? |
13941 | What is meant by church? |
13941 | What is meant by government? |
13941 | What is meant by power or authority? |
13941 | What is meant by power, properly, internally, formally, or virtually ecclesiastical? |
13941 | What is meant by proper, formal, ministerial or stewardly authority and power for church government? |
13941 | What is that new commandment? |
13941 | What is the power committed to them? |
13941 | What is the proper method of dealing with persons that fall into scandal? |
13941 | What likelihood of arbitrary conduct in this government, that is, that it should be managed and carried on according to men''s mere will and pleasure? |
13941 | What necessity is there that a particular congregation should be fully furnished with officers, to make it the subject of all church authority? |
13941 | What necessity of government could be pleaded then, which may not as strongly be pleaded now? |
13941 | What needed all this, if this had been a transcendent, extraordinary, and not an ordinary synod? |
13941 | What one congregation can be instanced in the New Testament that did ever execute any of these acts of authority? |
13941 | What one true excellence is there in the whole independent government in any one point, wherein it really differs from the presbyterial government? |
13941 | What particular form of church government may lay the only proper claim to a divine right, according to the Holy Scriptures? |
13941 | What persons have a right in the sight of God to be actual members of the Church of Christ? |
13941 | What power is it that is committed to the body of the Church or multitude of the faithful? |
13941 | What probability or possibility of tyranny in the presbyterial government? |
13941 | What promise did God ever make to any act or performance, which was not a duty? |
13941 | What rulers are there in the presbyterian church? |
13941 | What that government is? |
13941 | What then can be inferred hereupon by the adversaries of ruling elders? |
13941 | What then? |
13941 | What warrant doth this exception hold out for two sorts of ministers here pretended, some_ preaching_, others_ only administering the sacraments_? |
13941 | What was the cause referred to this synod? |
13941 | When may a particular form of church government be said to be of divine right? |
13941 | When was it given to them? |
13941 | Whence had they it? |
13941 | Where is his conduct commanded, commended, or unmarked with wrath, exemplified in the sacred words? |
13941 | Where is the divine warrant for a presbytery? |
13941 | Where is the divine warrant for an ecclesiastical synod? |
13941 | Where is the divine warrant for congregational sessions? |
13941 | Where is the divine warrant for deacons? |
13941 | Where is the divine warrant for the office of the ruling elder? |
13941 | Where is the divine warrant for the preaching elder? |
13941 | Where then shall that independent church find healing? |
13941 | Wherein is the excellency of the independent way of government? |
13941 | Whether classical presbyteries be of divine right? |
13941 | Whether parochial or congregational elderships be of divine right? |
13941 | Whether provincial, national, and ecumenical assemblies be of divine right? |
13941 | Whether the power of censures in the congregational eldership, or any other assembly, be of divine right? |
13941 | Whether there be any particular church government of divine right? |
13941 | Whether there be any particular rules in the Scripture directing persons or assemblies in the exercise of their power? |
13941 | Which are those obligatory scripture examples? |
13941 | Who have a right to preach the gospel and dispense the public ordinances of religion? |
13941 | Who knows not, that the Pharisaic sect pretended far more strictness, far more devotion, than the family of Christ? |
13941 | Who shall undertake to proportion the honor and reward, according to the proportion of every minister''s labor? |
13941 | Who were the proper members of the synod convened here? |
13941 | Why should Paul''s laboring be restrained here to his preaching only? |
13941 | Why should the presbyterial government, to be erected in England, be prejudged as arbitrary, before the government be put in execution? |
13941 | Why? |
13941 | Will mere prudence, without a divine right, be a sufficient basis to erect the whole frame of church government upon, as some conceive? |
13941 | Will no degree of grace satisfy you until you be perfect to the utmost as Christ is? |
13941 | Will you fly in the face of our civil law? |
13941 | Will you plead for the method of choosing church officers, which already has produced so much strife, bloody squabbling, or riot? |
13941 | Would Christ so crown public prayer were it not his own ordinance? |
13941 | Would you acknowledge the_ three_ for honored ambassadors of Christ? |
13941 | Would you have him to destroy your lusts, to make an end of sin, and to bring all under his obedience? |
13941 | Would you indeed live to the praise of his glorious grace, be an ornament unto his name and gospel, and be fruitful in every good word and work? |
13941 | Would you much rather have the praise of God, and be approved of by him, than the praise of men, and be extolled by them? |
13941 | Yea, what deserve such as deny the Spirit to be of God? |
13941 | [ 123]_ On the same subject-- Who have a right to preach the gospel_? |
13941 | [ 34] May we not from all clearly conclude, Therefore no proper ecclesiastical power was ever given by Jesus Christ to the magistrate as a magistrate? |
13941 | [ Footnote 25: Who in relating such things can refrain from weeping?] |
13941 | _ They may not preach_: for,"how shall they preach, except they be sent?" |
13941 | and are you willing to obey him, and to be subject to his authority and dominion, as well as to be saved by him? |
13941 | and do you desire and aim at the holy ends appointed by God in desiring communion with them? |
13941 | and do you earnestly pray unto him to shed abroad his love into your hearts by the Holy Ghost, that you may love him as ye ought? |
13941 | and do you find him to be so in some measure? |
13941 | and doth it oblige and bind them faster unto him and stir you up to thankfulness? |
13941 | and how absurd were this? |
13941 | and how will the life of religion in families, yea, and in churches also, languish, if these family exercises be not conscientiously upheld? |
13941 | and if all be governors, where are the governed? |
13941 | and if so, what need of pastors, teachers,& c.,, in the Church? |
13941 | and if there be none governed, where is the government? |
13941 | and was this likely to be without several congregations into which they were divided? |
13941 | are all governments? |
13941 | are all prophets? |
13941 | are all teachers?_( and here he stops not, but reckons on)_ are all workers of miracles? |
13941 | are all teachers?_( and here he stops not, but reckons on)_ are all workers of miracles? |
13941 | are they all called of God? |
13941 | are they all sent to preach? |
13941 | except they be gifted? |
13941 | except they be in earnest? |
13941 | for they can make officers virtually, and furnish those officers with gifts and power to that end; but who gave them any such authority? |
13941 | for_ where_ then_ were the hearing, smelling_,& c.;_ or if all were one member, where were the body_? |
13941 | have all the gifts of healing?_& c. If it should be replied, But he doth not add, Are all helps? |
13941 | have all the gifts of healing?_& c. If it should be replied, But he doth not add, Are all helps? |
13941 | if all be eyes, where are the feet? |
13941 | in the case of baptism, have the ordinary ministers of the New Testament any punctual express command to baptize? |
13941 | or a teacher, that doth not teach his flock? |
13941 | or did not discharge Christ''s commandments, touching his kingdom imposed upon them? |
13941 | or did not duly use those keys of Christ''s kingdom committed to them in the ordering and governing of the primitive churches? |
13941 | or have apostles all from the Church? |
13941 | or how could so many members meet in one single congregation at once, ordinarily to partake of all ordinances? |
13941 | or what threatening against any act which was not a sin? |
13941 | or why did he write never a word about ordination to the people, in any of his epistles, but to their rulers? |
13941 | or_ of right_ also, that such things should be done by the after churches? |
13941 | pastors and teachers, governments, or elders_ ruling well_, and helps or deacons? |
13941 | shall it be another collateral church? |
13941 | the political magistrate, into the list and roll of mere church officers? |
13941 | the wife before the husband? |
13941 | v. 17, intends only those rulers that preach? |
13941 | where were the city government? |
13941 | where were the family government? |
13941 | who but Christ Jesus himself can establish new officers in his church? |
19100 | But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to take My covenant in thy mouth? 19100 For what communion hath light with darkness? |
19100 | Have you received the Holy Ghost? |
19100 | I will cause him,saith God,"to draw nigh, and he then shall approach; for who is this that hath engaged his heart?" |
19100 | I will cause the horn of Israel to flourish, saith God:by what means? |
19100 | If you will fear the Lord and serve Him( these are Samuel''s words to the people)"and not rebel:"what then? |
19100 | Is it not a good and pleasant thing for brethren to dwell together in unity? |
19100 | Seemeth it( said David once to Saul''s servants) a small thing in your eyes, to be son- in- law to a king,seeing I am a poor man? |
19100 | Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with Thee, that frameth mischief by a law? |
19100 | They shall seek the Lord,_ i.e._ they shall seek God for Himself, and not only for themselves;"going and weeping;"why? |
19100 | Who art thou, O great mountain? |
19100 | Who is it that hath engaged,tied, bound his heart from starting aside like a broken bow, to approach to, and to continue with Me, saith the Lord? |
19100 | 1. Who is he,_ viz._ Christ, hath appointed his heart? |
19100 | 2. Who hath fitted and adorned his heart? |
19100 | 2. Who was the Son of this great king? |
19100 | 3. Who is it that provides means for their sustenance daily, and makes these means effectual, but only the Lord? |
19100 | A mountain reproved,"Who art thou, O great mountain? |
19100 | All people, it''s true, are God''s people by right of creation: why therefore says he,_ Thy_ people, and not_ all_ people? |
19100 | All whom this verse specifies, and enow to bring in all the rest? |
19100 | Always we may learn from this, that the Lord''s best servants have been, and will be abused, and spitefully used? |
19100 | Am I indeed resolved in like manner, without respect of persons, to endeavour the extirpation of popery, prelacy? |
19100 | Am I indeed resolved to humble myself for my own sins, and the sins of the kingdom? |
19100 | An impediment removed, under the name of a mountain,"Who art thou, O great mountain? |
19100 | And I think God saith to you in this text,"Who art thou, O great mountain? |
19100 | And as for Jesus Christ, who is the angel of the covenant: are there not some amongst us that ungod Jesus Christ? |
19100 | And can we think, that God will be easily entreated to sheath up His bloody sword, and to cease shedding our blood? |
19100 | And do not these look like the days wherein the prophet calls to the doing of this? |
19100 | And doth not this indistinctly admit all, and all, of all sorts? |
19100 | And here, let me not conceal the mercy of the Lord to us, in the work now in hand; for why should not the Lord have the glory of all His favours? |
19100 | And how base is that issue which is begotten between, and born from vile affections, and a reprobate mind? |
19100 | And how great an obligation to duly doth this contain, wherein there is an obligation to every duty? |
19100 | And how reverently did they read in the Scriptures, and speak of the nature of the covenant? |
19100 | And if families be not reformed, how will your worshippers be pure? |
19100 | And if so, is not their lot fallen in an unpleasant place? |
19100 | And if you ask again, what days those are? |
19100 | And if you inquire when this should be? |
19100 | And is it not fit and equal that God should unchurch us and unpeople us? |
19100 | And is not the godly ministry as much persecuted by the tongues of some that would be accounted godly, as heretofore by the bishop''s hands? |
19100 | And is that indeed the way of gospel government? |
19100 | And is this because He has need of you? |
19100 | And is this to keep covenant with God? |
19100 | And may not this day''s work be a happy beginning of such a blessed expedition? |
19100 | And shall not God be avenged of such a nation as this? |
19100 | And shall we not rejoice? |
19100 | And should not all these make you willing to swear to it, and to hazard for it? |
19100 | And so, when he had made that appeal to God,"do not I hate them that hate Thee, Lord?" |
19100 | And the while kings will defend these, these will defend kings? |
19100 | And think ye to prevail against the people of Zion? |
19100 | And thus much be spoken concerning the first branch of this third query, how to acceptation? |
19100 | And were these all? |
19100 | And what is it that makes the covenant of God with man thus sure? |
19100 | And what was the reason of this stand, or contrary motion? |
19100 | And when the nation shall say, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto the land? |
19100 | And where is the man that walketh so holily in this covenant as becomes him, and as it requires? |
19100 | And wherefore cried ye yesterday and this day, Hosanna, hosanna? |
19100 | And why may not God make use of the same stratagem to ruin their kingdom, which they used to build it? |
19100 | And yet again,"do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate Thee?" |
19100 | And yet how many are there amongst us like unto Gallio, that care not what becomes of the cause of God, so they may have peace and quiet? |
19100 | And, as our Saviour speaks upon another occasion,"If the light which is in them be darkness, how great is that darkness?" |
19100 | And, moreover, beloved, whom have ye against you in this course? |
19100 | And,"Hath any nation changed their god, which yet are no gods? |
19100 | Are not these the days, and this the time, when out of the north there cometh up a nation against her? |
19100 | Are there not many that walk professedly contrary to this clause of the covenant? |
19100 | Are there not thousands that have sworn to be Christ''s servants, and yet are in their lives the vassals of sin and Satan? |
19100 | Are we not covenant- breakers? |
19100 | Are we not like little children that, while they are being whipped, will promise any thing; but, when the whipping is over, will perform nothing? |
19100 | Are you willing to be at this cost to build the tower? |
19100 | Are you willing to this engagement? |
19100 | Art thou able to stand out against Him, or pitch any field against Him? |
19100 | As David saith in another case,"Is it a light thing to be the son- in- law of a king?" |
19100 | As if He had said, would you know the reason why this people were so unstedfast? |
19100 | As some say, What better is this feast than the feast we have at home? |
19100 | At another occasion I handled the parable after a more general manner, and propounded these points unto you: 1. Who was this great king? |
19100 | Busking a bride for the Pope of Rome, the bishop of Rome, even for antichrist? |
19100 | Busking a bride for thyself? |
19100 | But ah? |
19100 | But are there not some that write against an uniformity in religion, and call it an idol? |
19100 | But for whom especially is this joy reserved? |
19100 | But is it indeed only the fault of the men, not of the calling? |
19100 | But it may be, some will say, what is this cost? |
19100 | But now, blessed be God, it was otherwise:"the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together"to what end? |
19100 | But now, how are our fasting days slighted and vilified? |
19100 | But now, the Lord Jesus, the antitype of David here in this Psalm, because he made good this,( duty shall I call it?) |
19100 | But trow ye that every minister and every burgh will come in? |
19100 | But trow ye, that God will give that honour to every one? |
19100 | But what bosom- sin, what beloved sin, as dear to thee as thy dear wife and children, hast thou left for God''s sake, since thou tookest this oath? |
19100 | But what holy thing is there which swine will not make mire of, for themselves to wallow in? |
19100 | But what is the bearing of Scotland''s Covenanted Reformation of three centuries ago, on the Scotland of the present times? |
19100 | But what were the particulars that made up the gross sum of all this? |
19100 | But where is that family reformation? |
19100 | But who makes conscience of this part of the oath? |
19100 | But yet further, was not the calling as bad as the men? |
19100 | But, will they take up arms and scatter carnage and blood throughout the land? |
19100 | By what rule? |
19100 | Can Satan cast out Satan? |
19100 | Can that be a trifle, which is published as the main and sole preventive of all the bloody plots of God''s enemies against the truth? |
19100 | Can that be a trifle, which is the fruit of the judicious consultations of the agents of both kingdoms, as the only means to perpetuate the union? |
19100 | Can that be a trifle, which was produced by such, who had merely the glory of God before their eyes as conducing much thereto? |
19100 | Can that be the government of Christ and His Church? |
19100 | Can that man be said really to endeavour the maintenance of a cause while he lets it starve? |
19100 | Can there be found a parallel to Christ in the world, that hath so given himself up to God? |
19100 | Can you instance in any that have been backward to swear unto the Lord? |
19100 | Canst thou hold the field against Him? |
19100 | Could an oppressed people bear the tyranny longer? |
19100 | Dear hearts, know ye not how Moses was used? |
19100 | Did not prelacy? |
19100 | Divers more such instances I could give you; and why thus? |
19100 | Do we not make the times perilous by our falsifying of our oath and covenant with God? |
19100 | Do you know yourselves? |
19100 | Doth the oath bind me to oppose legal acts? |
19100 | Ephraim shall say,"What have I to do with idols?" |
19100 | Find we not the name of bishop under the New Testament? |
19100 | For the Lord''s supper, how oft have we spilt the blood of Christ by our unworthy approaches to His table? |
19100 | For we say, how can Satan cast out Satan? |
19100 | For when ye say the grace to your meat, say ye it to man? |
19100 | For why should not every one value the public above the private, the common good before his own? |
19100 | God hath a_ changing power_, whereby He makes mountains plain: how easy is it with God, to make the highest mountain that impedes His work a plain? |
19100 | God will be steady to us; why should not we resolve to be so to Him? |
19100 | Had it not been better to have defeated Athaliah, and then to have crowned the king? |
19100 | Has He not a famous church in America, where He may go? |
19100 | Has it no instruction for all times? |
19100 | Hath it not been prelacy? |
19100 | Have ye not so much power as the mountains and hills have? |
19100 | Have you engaged your souls in a solemn league? |
19100 | Here is God''s wise deliberation on the matter:"how shall I put thee?" |
19100 | Here was cheerfulness: who was not glad to see it? |
19100 | How are the people of God divided one from another, railing upon( instead of loving) one another? |
19100 | How beautiful were the feet of them that brought the gospel of peace unto you? |
19100 | How can we, say they, bind ourselves to forbear the practice of that whilk Acts of Assembly allows, and Acts of Parliament commands? |
19100 | How comes it to pass then that this part of the covenant is so much forgotten? |
19100 | How comes the man to be so undaunted? |
19100 | How comes this to pass? |
19100 | How could they loyally support a Constitution now so opposite to the ancient Scriptural and Covenanted Constitution of the realm? |
19100 | How dear and precious were God''s people one to another? |
19100 | How in judgment? |
19100 | How much more then will holiness be increased through this covenant which, in many branches of it, is a direct covenant for, and about holiness? |
19100 | How so? |
19100 | How to acceptation? |
19100 | How to( 1) Acceptation? |
19100 | How unbecoming is it, that they who swear together, should be so strange as scarce to speak together? |
19100 | How, or in what manner this service is to be performed? |
19100 | How? |
19100 | How? |
19100 | I appeal to all your consciences, Is it possible to set caveats to their pride and avarice? |
19100 | I come now to the Second branch of it, and that is, How to perpetuity? |
19100 | I have now done with these three queries; What? |
19100 | I may apply this to them that can not act; will ye sit still, when the rest of your brethren are to hazard their lives against the enemy? |
19100 | I see you looking up to the height of it, and ye are saying within yourselves, How shall it come down? |
19100 | I will say to you then that word,"The hill of God is a high hill, as the hill of Bashan: why leap ye, ye hills? |
19100 | If God be with a work, who is he that will let or impede it? |
19100 | If I would pose you with this question, as you will answer to God, Who have been the instruments of all this mischief? |
19100 | If any shall say these demands are very high and the charge very great, but is a part in this covenant worth it? |
19100 | If our father had but spit in our face by some inferior correction, should we not be ashamed? |
19100 | If this position were assumed by larger numbers throughout the land, who knoweth whether they would"not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" |
19100 | If thou askest, What will this garment do to thee? |
19100 | If we knew that every loss were our gain, every wound our healing, every disappointment our success, every defeat our victory, would we not rejoice? |
19100 | If we walk and work by sense, and not by faith? |
19100 | In a covenant, God and man meet; He is with us who is more than all that are against us: and when He is with us, who can be against us? |
19100 | In the first place, we must inquire how this duty may be so managed, that God may accept of us in the doing of it? |
19100 | In what clause or word of the article? |
19100 | Is every man that sins against the covenant to be accounted a covenant- breaker, and a perjured sacrilegious person? |
19100 | Is it a respect to prelacy that hinders thee, O Scotland? |
19100 | Is it a respect to the king? |
19100 | Is it a respect to the novations already come into Scotland? |
19100 | Is it all but a story with interest, however thrilling, for the study of the antiquarian? |
19100 | Is it in superstition? |
19100 | Is it not prelacy? |
19100 | Is it not the chief desire of the holy apostles, that we"should all speak the same things, and that there should be no division amongst us?" |
19100 | Is it not the happiness of a city, to be at unity with itself? |
19100 | Is it not the preservation of religion, where it is reformed, and the reformation of religion, where it needs? |
19100 | Is it not this, because it hath a strong foundation, a double, impregnable foundation? |
19100 | Is not the Holy Bible by some rather wrested than read? |
19100 | Is not unity amongst Christians one of the strongest arguments to persuade the world to believe in Christ? |
19100 | Is not unity the happiness of heaven? |
19100 | Is that it indeed which bears away the bell of_ jure divino_? |
19100 | Is the whole prolonged struggle, with all its chequered scenes, but a panorama on which spectators may gaze with but passing emotions? |
19100 | Is there any soul in this house this day, that is filled with the love of Christ? |
19100 | Is there any soul that is seeking unto Him in earnest? |
19100 | Is there any that can adorn and prepare himself to approach unto God, without God? |
19100 | It is a denial with disdain;"should I?" |
19100 | It is said,"The sinners in Zion are afraid; who shall dwell with everlasting torments? |
19100 | It will be said, What ails you? |
19100 | Job was probably sometimes seduced with such foolish persuasions, to courses not less foolish, but he yielded not: what helped him? |
19100 | Know ye not that Zedekiah struck Micaiah; and how his threatenings against him came to pass? |
19100 | Minister, lovest thou me? |
19100 | Moses reproveth them in these words,"Shall your brethren go to war; and shall ye sit still? |
19100 | My good people, beloved in Christ, have ye nothing to contribute for this work? |
19100 | Nay, canst thou be a party for Him? |
19100 | Nay,"Shall the thing formed say to Him that formed it, Why hast Thou made me thus?" |
19100 | Now the question is, Whether it be safer to stop it up than to guard it? |
19100 | Now, if your leases and covenants among men be either lame or forfeited; need men persuade you to have them renewed and perfected? |
19100 | Now, is there any of you but ye are obleist( obliged) to be holy? |
19100 | Now,"Who are these that are invited to the marriage?" |
19100 | O Lord of hosts, and King of kings, who can stand out against Thee? |
19100 | O then he will cry out with Isaiah,"Lord, who believes my report, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been made naked? |
19100 | Or, can we indeed love or promote a reformation, and in the mean time countenance or conceal the enemies of it? |
19100 | Or, have ye not such substance as the vallies? |
19100 | Or, how may we perform this service so that it may be"an everlasting covenant, that may never be forgotten?" |
19100 | Or, upon what considerations we may be persuaded to undertake this service? |
19100 | Ought we not to be greatly humbled before Him? |
19100 | Our God is a consuming fire, and we are as stubble before Him; who can stand before His indignation? |
19100 | Peace is a precious jewel, but who can value truth? |
19100 | Perpetuity? |
19100 | Says not the covenant enough for the maintenance of the king? |
19100 | Shall I pass you that are commons? |
19100 | Shall civil and religious liberty be saved from captivity by tyrants on the throne? |
19100 | Shall the crawling worm and the pickle of small dust fight against the King of kings? |
19100 | Shall we not walk cheerfully? |
19100 | Shewing the impossibility in man to begin the action:"I will cause him to draw nigh; for who is this, that hath engaged his heart?" |
19100 | Should not ye have lain at His door, and scraped, if ye could not knock? |
19100 | Should not ye have sought unto Him first, with ropes about your necks, with sackcloth upon your loins, and with tears in your eyes? |
19100 | Should they deal with His people as murderers and malefactors, and we not draw out His sword against them? |
19100 | Should they deal with our God as an idol? |
19100 | Some having nothing else to say, yet can not withhold to question, whether the Scots will enter into it or no? |
19100 | That are very indifferent which side prevail, so they may have their trading again? |
19100 | That is, how shall I do this? |
19100 | The Lord forbid such a thing:"for, how shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?" |
19100 | The inquiry into both, who is this? |
19100 | The inquiry,"who is this?" |
19100 | The question I put to you is this: How often have you broken covenant with God? |
19100 | The reformation of religion in the kingdoms of England and Ireland? |

19100 | Then is it not the Lord who enters in covenant with thee, and says, I will remember thy sins no more? |
19100 | There is a fourth, who profess they acknowledge a king; but despise him in their heart, saying"Shall this man save us?" |
19100 | They have been burdensome in all ages; what opposites in England have they been to our kings, till their interests were changed? |
19100 | They which single, blessed be God, have yet such strength, how strong may they be when conjoined? |
19100 | This makes God complain,"What iniquity have your fathers found in Me, that they have gone far from Me?" |
19100 | Those who rise against kings in open rebellion, as Absalom and Sheba, who said,"What have we to do with David, the son of Jesse? |
19100 | To utter what? |
19100 | To what end? |
19100 | To whom shall I speak then? |
19100 | Tobiah and Sanballat gnaw their tongues, laugh and despise us, saying,"What is this ye do? |
19100 | Upon what warrant? |
19100 | Was it only a jest? |
19100 | Was not unity one of the chief parts of Christ''s prayer unto His Father, when He was here upon the earth? |
19100 | We speak and contend much for a church- reformation, but how can there be a church- reformation, unless there be a family- reformation? |

19100 | What is it that hath taken down a teaching ministry, and set up in the room a teaching- ceremony? |
19100 | What is this at all to the covenant, where there is no mention of arms at all? |
19100 | What is this but the contents and matter of our oath? |
19100 | What is this to our present condition, where reforming by arms is not at all the question? |
19100 | What meaneth the heat of this great anger? |
19100 | What meant then that saying of queen Elizabeth,"That when she had made a bishop, she had spoiled a preacher?" |

19100 | What ought the Protestant to do, in the presence of a government and administration which are daily advancing the court of Rome to power? |
19100 | What ought to be done to remove these evils and avert the disaster which their continuance must entail? |
19100 | What particulars do engage us, by what acts or thoughts doth the heart become engaged? |
19100 | What say you? |
19100 | What shall I say to these neutrals? |
19100 | What should we do with their hands in the work, whose hearts, we know, are not in the work? |
19100 | What sin hast thou left, or in what one thing hast thou reformed since thou didst take this covenant? |
19100 | What the Presbyterian, who can not take the Oath of Allegiance without committing himself to the hierarchy of Prelacy? |
19100 | What the duty is, to which they mutually stir up one another? |
19100 | What the duty is? |
19100 | What then to be engaged, to be incorporated, and that by sacred oath, with such an high and honourable fraternity? |
19100 | What though the church- worship be pure, yet if the worshippers be impure, God will not accept of the worship? |
19100 | What though those tongues set on fire by hell do rail and threaten? |
19100 | What time, and what days were those? |
19100 | What we have to do? |
19100 | What will come of me, after so many years''travail in the ministry? |
19100 | What? |
19100 | When God hid His face from him, or he hid his eyes from God; then how easily is he moved? |
19100 | When an apprentice has subscribed his name, and sealed his indentures, doth he then think his service is ended? |
19100 | When the sons of darkness go to cast out the prince of darkness, is this possible? |
19100 | Where is the man that can direct his heart, approach to Me of himself, by his own power? |
19100 | Where the governors and the teachers go before in an holy example, what honest heart will not follow? |
19100 | Wherefore discourage ye the heart of the children of Israel?" |
19100 | Wherefore,"Who art thou, O great mountain"before God''s people, that thinks to impede such a work? |
19100 | Whether any thing, the extirpation of which is sworn by an ordinance of parliament, can be said to stand by law? |
19100 | Whether by any law, divine or human, may reformation of religion be brought in by arms? |
19100 | Whether the making a party be legal? |
19100 | Whether there be any particular law for prelacy? |
19100 | Whether to swear to a government that shall be, or to swear not to dissent from such a future government, be not to swear upon an implicit faith? |
19100 | While some will be ready to call that schism and superstition, which is not; and others deny that to be heresy, superstition, schism, which is? |

19100 | Who shall dwell with devouring fire?" |
19100 | Who thought to have seen such a sudden change in Scotland, when all second causes were posting a contrary course? |
19100 | Who was not encouraged to it? |
19100 | Why do ye spend your money for nought?" |
19100 | Why may not you suffer the enemy to abide within the town? |
19100 | Why should sorrow sit clouded in our faces, or any darkness be in our hearts, while we are in the shine and light of God''s countenance? |
19100 | Why, Ephraim shall say,"What have I to do any more with idols?" |
19100 | Why, or upon what considerations? |
19100 | Why? |
19100 | Why? |
19100 | Why? |

19100 | _ Answ._ Where lies that, think you? |
19100 | _ BY THOMAS CASE._ I come now to the third query, how? |
19100 | _ BY THOMAS COLEMAN._"For who is this, that engaged his heart to approach unto Me, saith the Lord?" |
19100 | _ I did see._ Which of us, brethren, hath not his heart yet rejoicing, but even to think upon this work, this last Monday in this place? |
19100 | _ Obj._ But what, if the exorbitances be purged away, may not I, notwithstanding my oath, admit of a regulated prelacy? |
19100 | _ Obj._ What if one make a party to uphold prelacy, whilst it stands by law, must I oppose him, or discover him by virtue of this oath? |
19100 | _ Object._ Aye, but there be that will tell us, these have been the faults of the persons, and not of the calling? |
19100 | _ Object._ How can we swear the extirpation of these, since, who shall be judge? |
19100 | _ Objection._ We have oblished ourselves by our subscription already; what then needs us to obleish ourselves over again by our oath? |
19100 | _ Quest._ But some will say,"How shall I do to get up my heart to this high pitch, that I may be a covenant- keeper?" |
19100 | _ Quest._ How are their servants treated? |
19100 | _ Third_, Inquire diligently at your own hearts, whether they come up to the terms of this covenant? |
19100 | and how many have smarted their proof unto us? |
19100 | and this covenant will be stedfast and uniform unto us, why should not we resolve to be so too, and in this covenant? |
19100 | and what concord hath Christ and Belial?" |
19100 | and( 2) Perpetuity? |
19100 | but my sins are many, how can the Lord look upon me or pardon me? |
19100 | even his engagement:"I have made a covenant with mine eyes, how then shall I look on a maid?" |
19100 | feed my bais''d sheep: lovest thou me? |
19100 | have I said strangers? |
19100 | have they not a dreadful heritage? |

19100 | how Jeremiah was smitten; and he that did it, got his name changed into Magor Missabib,_ terror round about_? |
19100 | how Zechariah was slain between the porch and the altar? |
19100 | how comes it to pass, that thou art so much slighted and contemned? |
19100 | how sweet was a fasting day? |

19100 | or, to strengthen it while he keeps the sinews of it close shut up? |
19100 | our prophets have prophesied lies, and our priests have pleaded for Baal, and they have rejected the word of the Lord; and what wisdom is in them? |
19100 | to amend myself, and all in my power, and to go before others in the example of a real reformation? |
19100 | what shall we have? |
19100 | where is the man that hath made restitution of his ill- gotten goods since he took this covenant? |
19100 | who but a papist the second? |
19100 | who but an oppressor, or a rebel, the third? |
19100 | who but light and empty men, unstable as water, the sixth? |
19100 | who but men of fortune, desperate cavaliers, the fifth? |
19100 | who but the guilty, the fourth? |
19100 | woe is me, who can dwell with everlasting burnings? |
19100 | ye of little faith? |
14139 | But,you say,"suppose his name goes down under the hoof of scorn and contempt?" |
14139 | But,you say,"suppose his store burns up?" |
14139 | Lord, is it I? 14139 Oh, when, thou city of my God, Shall I thy courts ascend? |
14139 | Suppose his physical health fails? |
14139 | Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars? |
14139 | Well,said the minister,"would n''t you like to have me pray with you?" |
14139 | Well,you say,"I have been driven out of that tower; where shall I go?" |
14139 | What are you waiting here for? |
14139 | What do you mean? |
14139 | What,say you,"ca n''t a man be saved without going to church?" |
14139 | Where did your grandfather die? |
14139 | Where did your great- grandfather die? |
14139 | Wherefore do the wicked live? |
14139 | Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah, mighty to save? |
14139 | Who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this? |
14139 | Who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this? |
14139 | Why are you here? |

14139 | A few nights later, while crossing the ferry, she overheard the name of her employer in the conversation of girls who stood near:''What, John Snipes? |
14139 | A paragraph from their report:"''Can you make Mr. Jones pay me? |
14139 | About to jump, where will you land? |
14139 | After death seizes upon that soul, is there no resurrection? |
14139 | And can it be possible that our eternity is dependent upon the healthy action of that which can be so easily destroyed? |
14139 | And the soul will cry:"Is this forever?" |
14139 | And then, when the bread is passed around, they taste of it skeptically and inquiringly, as much as to say:"Is it bread? |
14139 | And who will say, on earth or in Heaven, that Havelock had not the right to preach? |
14139 | And will He take care of the sparrow, will He take care of the hawk, and let you die? |
14139 | Are not those of you who are in the third class ready to pass over into the second division, and become seekers after Christ? |
14139 | Are not women as sharp as men on washer- women and milliners and mantua- makers? |
14139 | Are the clerks in your store irate against the firm? |
14139 | Are there any here who would like to enter into that association? |
14139 | Are there two destinies? |
14139 | Are we to go through the slaughter? |
14139 | Are you all fed? |
14139 | Are you doing nothing? |
14139 | Are you ready for the emergency? |
14139 | Are you ready to join with me in some new work for Christ? |
14139 | Are you to blame? |
14139 | As it was even- time he said to his wife:"Have you lighted the candles?" |
14139 | As soon as it came within speaking distance the people on the shore cried out:"Did you save any of them? |
14139 | Ask the day of judgment when her crowned debauchees, Commodus and Pertinax, and Caligula and Diocletian, shall answer for their infamy? |
14139 | Ay, are you not ready to pass over into the first division, and become the pardoned sons and daughters of the Lord Almighty? |
14139 | Because their own personal expenses are lavish? |
14139 | Because they are avaricious? |
14139 | But are there no truths to be uttered in regard to this great evil? |
14139 | But as money is not a lawful tender, what is? |
14139 | But do you know what made the ancient deluge a necessity? |
14139 | But hear you not the tramp of your unpardoned sins all around the tower? |
14139 | But how shall Abimelech and his army take this temple of Berith and the men who are there fortified? |
14139 | But suppose you do not keep it? |
14139 | But what is all that commotion and flutter, and surging to and fro above Him and on either side of Him? |
14139 | But what shall be the destiny of the latter? |
14139 | But where is the king? |
14139 | But why talk of refuge? |
14139 | But will the monument to Him who died for the eternal liberation of the human race ever be completed? |
14139 | But you say,"Have n''t people lived on in complete use of it to old age?" |
14139 | But, you say,"What is the use of all these harvest- fields to Ruth and Naomi? |
14139 | By what principle of justice is it that women in many of our cities get only two thirds as much pay as men, and in many cases only half? |
14139 | By what weapon? |
14139 | Can a million wrongs make one right? |
14139 | Can it be possible that heaven can not buy you in? |
14139 | Can one speckled and bad apple in a barrel of diseased apples turn the other apples good? |
14139 | Can those who are themselves down help others up? |
14139 | Can those who have themselves failed in the business of the soul pay the debts of their spiritual insolvents? |
14139 | Can you be without emotion as the Sun of Righteousness rises behind Calvary, and sets behind Joseph''s sepulcher? |
14139 | Can you do such a shocking thing as that? |
14139 | Can you have any doubt about who it is on the seat on the judgment day? |
14139 | Can you imagine anything more unimportant than the coming of a poor woman from Moab to Judah? |
14139 | Did it make you gloomy and sad? |
14139 | Did not a meteor run on evangelistic errand on the first Christmas night, and designate the rough cradle of our Lord? |
14139 | Did not the stars in their courses fight against Sisera? |
14139 | Did the distress heal them? |
14139 | Did the world come in to stand by his death- bed, and clearing off the vials of bitter medicine, put down any compensation? |
14139 | Did they not try to divorce Margaret, the Scotch girl, from Jesus? |
14139 | Did you ever put your forefingers on its eternal pulses? |
14139 | Did you ever read De Quincey''s"Confessions of an Opium- Eater?" |
14139 | Did you go with your head cast down? |
14139 | Did you save any of them?" |
14139 | Did you think that your soul was a mere trinket which for a few pennies you could buy in a toy shop? |
14139 | Did you think that your soul was short- lived, and that, panting, it would soon lie down for extinction? |
14139 | Did you think that your soul, if once lost, might be found again if you went out with torches and lanterns? |
14139 | Did you, my brother, ever measure the meaning of that one passage:"Behold, I stand at the door and knock"? |
14139 | Do n''t remember them, eh? |
14139 | Do n''t you know that with some persons there is a tide in their spiritual natures which, if taken at the flood, leads on to salvation? |
14139 | Do n''t you want to go in with such a rabble? |
14139 | Do not women, as much as men, beat down to the lowest figure the woman who sews for them? |
14139 | Do you believe that? |
14139 | Do you believe that? |
14139 | Do you believe that? |
14139 | Do you expect me to take that pardon offered with such a voice as you have, with such an awkward manner as you have? |
14139 | Do you hear that? |
14139 | Do you know how it is made? |
14139 | Do you know where Sheba was? |
14139 | Do you know who Supply and Demand are? |
14139 | Do you not feel the swellings of the great oceanic tides of Divine mercy? |
14139 | Do you not see the troops? |
14139 | Do you realize this? |
14139 | Do you remember all those lapses in conduct? |
14139 | Do you remember all those opprobrious words and thoughts and actions? |
14139 | Do you say that I swing open the gate of heaven too far? |
14139 | Do you want history? |
14139 | Do you want logic? |
14139 | Do you want poetry? |
14139 | Does it not seem as if his volume of infamy were complete? |
14139 | Does it not seem as if the last fifty years would make an appropriate peroration? |
14139 | Does it reform him? |
14139 | Far on in the ages one lost soul shall cry out to another lost soul:"How long have you been here?" |
14139 | Fifteen, twenty, forty, sixty years? |
14139 | For fun? |
14139 | For what are you taking it? |
14139 | From what land did you come? |
14139 | Furthermore, let me ask why a chance should be given in the next world if we have refused innumerable chances in this? |
14139 | Give us another chance"? |
14139 | Great God, is life such an uncertain thing? |
14139 | Had he lost his patience? |
14139 | Had he resigned his confidence in the Christian religion? |
14139 | Had the world treated him so badly that he had become its sworn enemy? |
14139 | Happy? |
14139 | Happy? |
14139 | Happy? |
14139 | Happy? |
14139 | Happy? |
14139 | Has he a right to expect to be invited after all the indignities he has done you? |
14139 | Has he found any new elixir? |
14139 | Have I held back any truth, though it were plain, though it were unpalatable? |
14139 | Have not pains shot their poisoned arrows, and fevers kindled their fire in your brain? |
14139 | Have they been used for the elevation of society or for its depression? |
14139 | Have we not the Lord Almighty on our side? |
14139 | Have you any idea that sin will wear out? |
14139 | Have you ever imagined what will be the soliloquy of the soul on that day unpardoned, as it looks back upon its past life? |
14139 | Have you ever tried it? |
14139 | Have you given one half day to the working out of your salvation with fear and trembling? |
14139 | Have you made any effort, any expenditure, any exertion for your immortal and spiritual health? |
14139 | Have you never felt the quiver of its peerless wing? |
14139 | Have you no idea of the coming of such a time? |
14139 | Have you not noticed that God harnesses men, bad men, and accomplishes good through them? |
14139 | Have you nothing better than money to leave your children? |
14139 | He says,"Shall I stop the mill, or shall I run it on half time, or shall I cut down the men''s wages?" |
14139 | He says:"Do you remember those chances you had for heaven, and missed them? |
14139 | Hear you not all the trumpets of heaven and all the drums of hell? |
14139 | Hear you not the welcome of those who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us? |
14139 | His old comrades came in and said as they bent over his corpse:"What is the matter with you, Boggsey?" |
14139 | How are these evils to be eradicated? |
14139 | How can a man stand in the pulpit and preach on the subject of temperance when he is indulging such a habit as that? |
14139 | How could you do so? |
14139 | How dare the Christian Church ever get discouraged? |
14139 | How darest thou sleep in harvest- time and with so few hours in which to reap? |
14139 | How do I know it? |
14139 | How do you feel toward that spiritual fraud, turpitude and perfidy? |
14139 | How long did it take God to slay the hosts of Sennacherib or burn Sodom or shake down Jericho? |
14139 | How long have you, my brother, lived unforgiven? |
14139 | How long will it take God, when He once arises in His strength, to overthrow all the forces of iniquity? |
14139 | How much robustness of health would a man have if he hid himself in a dark closet? |
14139 | How shall it be taken? |
14139 | How shall this great multitude be supplied? |
14139 | How then? |
14139 | I can not help now, while preaching, asking myself the question-- Am I ready for that? |
14139 | I do not blame you for asking me the quivering, throbbing, burning, resounding, appalling question of my text,"Wherefore do the wicked live?" |
14139 | I go a little further on the same road and meet a trumpeter of heaven, and I say:"Have n''t you got some music for a tired pilgrim?" |
14139 | I said to one of the intelligent men of Ireland:"Tell me in a few words what are the sufferings of Ireland, and what is the Land Relief enactment?" |
14139 | I see a man rising in that great crowd and asking:"Is there any one here who has bread or meat?" |
14139 | I start out on this King''s highway, and I find a harper, and I say:"What is your name?" |
14139 | I wonder what proportion of this audience will be saved? |
14139 | If I bear a little too hard with my right foot on the earth, does it break through into the grave? |
14139 | If a man topples off the edge of life, is there nothing to break his fall? |
14139 | If a woman asks a dollar for her work, does not her female employer ask her if she will not take ninety cents? |
14139 | If an impenitent man goes overboard, are there no grappling- hooks to hoist him into safety? |
14139 | If anything is purchased and paid for, ought not the goods to be delivered? |
14139 | If you are on the right side, to what cavalry troop, to what artillery service, to what garrison duty do you belong? |
14139 | If you have bought property and given the money, do you not want to come into possession of it? |
14139 | If, then, we are to be compelled to go out of this world, where are we to go to? |
14139 | In other words, in what Sabbath- school do you teach? |
14139 | Is it I?" |
14139 | Is it all true? |
14139 | Is it not fair that you love Him? |
14139 | Is it not imperative that you love Him? |
14139 | Is it not right that you love Him? |
14139 | Is it possible that a man or woman sworn to be a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ is doing nothing? |
14139 | Is it to frighten your soul? |
14139 | Is it to help him back to a moral and spiritual life? |
14139 | Is not that plain? |
14139 | Is that so? |
