The Two Natures-by Arthur W. Pink

The Two Natures
by Arthur W. Pink

EXCERPT

“That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit” (John 3:6); “The flesh lusteth against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary the one to the other” (Gal. 5:17). These and similar passages clearly connote that there are two distinct and diverse springs of action in the Christian, from which proceed evil and good works. The older expositors were accustomed to speak of these springs of action as “principles”—the principles of evil and holiness. Modern writers more frequently refer to them as “the two natures in the believer.” We have no objection against this form of expression, provided it be used to represent Scriptural realities and not human fancies. But it appears to us that there are not a few today who speak of the “two natures” and yet have no clear conception of what the term signifies, often conveying a faulty idea to the minds of their hearers.

The Comforter-By C. H. Spurgeon

The Comforter
A Sermon(No. 5)
Delivered on Sabbath Evening, January 21, 1855, by theREV. C. H. Spurgeon
At New Park Street Chapel, Southwark.

Excerpt

"He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, and he that believeth not shall be damned." Weary sinner, hellish sinner, thou who art the devil's castaway, reprobate, profligate, harlot, robber, thief, adulterer, fornicator, drunkard, swearer, Sabbath-breaker—list! I speak to thee as well as to the rest. I exempt no man. God hath said there is no exemption here. "Whosoever believeth on the name of Jesus Christ shall be saved." Sin is no barrier; thy guilt is no obstacle.

A Peal of Bells

A Peal of Bells:

"A Peal of Bells
July 7th, 1861
by C. H. SPURGEON
(1834-1892)

'In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD.'—Zechariah 14:20."

EXCERPT

Whatever your business is, though you are a scavenger, though you sweep a crossing, though you black shoes—whatever you have to do, let everything be done to the glory of God. And, if any say it cannot be done, do you show them the way, for the best practical proof is the proof of fact.

IKE- A HOUSTON RESIDENT: "I just had power and internet restored a few hours ago, and these were among the first pictures I have seen of my own area"

Hi Swarna,

I just had power and internet restored a few hours ago, and these were among the first pictures I have seen of my own area. I find them absolutely amazing. We have not had much idea of what has been going on in our area, or in the rest of the world. A very strange sensation! I thought you might like to see these.
Blessings,
Mary
