Where we all face difficulties in our lives, it is our view on life which defines how we approach it. William Nicholson points out that the religious are guaranteed the greatest comfort of all. With every difficulty a Christian faces, they will feel the presence and comfort of God.

Christianity is, in a sense, the great equalizer giving endless chances to the pious and sinner both. And even though it may not seem that way, Judgement day takes equality to the next level. William Nicholson expands on the great work a mortal life entails and how only our actions will determine how eternity will be spent.

Alexander writes this prose to speak directly to the poor man, to tell them not to envy their rich neighbors as their wealth only brings evil.

Alexander talks of truths in his prose. He tells us that Jesus Christ will not ignore any soul that comes to him, that even sinners are welcomed by Christ. He says that no matter the merit, Christ will accept any soul and that the conversion of any soul is a work of God.

"When there is no growth, there is no life". Archibald Alexander discusses the things that we have taken for granted. He urges that all Christians face challenges and one must overcome them to grow as a religious person.

In Christian churches, there are always men and women who wish to do good, but they don't know what to do. Archibald Alexander has an idea; go into the downtrodden areas of the cities and convince someone to come with you to church. This, he feels, is the responsibility of all Christians wishing to do good in the world.

Archibald Alexander decrees that God is the only being who justifies. He stresses that justification is an instrument of Christ, and thus is by faith alone.

Archibald Alexander discusses the misery of the souls of the damned. The same things that will bring us humans pleasure, also can bring us the most misery when removed from our lives. The first moment of death, and the day of judgment will be the most dreadful for those who allow sin to go unrepented.

In this sermon, Alexander conveys some rules to live by for young Christians. He urges young - and really all - Christians to form good habits, be particular about the company they keep, and take in knowledge wherever they can.

The first pages of the bible illustrate a journey from being divinely created to falling from grace. Ever since the path started leading downward, humanity has been cursed with many trials. But hope remains when we accept a God who is harsh in his sentence, but righteous and true in his execution.

Archibald Alexander feels that all mothers should be pious. He implores that they have strong Christian roots within the home if they are to raise good pious men.

One blessing, or in some ways curse, we have been given is the ability to think and rationalize. With this comes a constant internal battle in which we debate within ourselves what the right moral choices are. Bonar expands on how conscientious we truly are and which patterns emerge in our daily lives.

We have been thoroughly introduced to the violent and often savage ways God punishes His people. But Horatius Bonar expands on a method far more powerful than any direct force. Learn more about how a father’s silence can lead to a feeling of ultimate desperation in his children.

Samuel Davies was an evagelist Purtian minister and speaker in the 1700s who spearheaded the cause of religious freedom within the colony of Virginia. Here is one of his most powerful speeches, condemming sin and praising the wisdom of the Christian God, delivered in his fiery method. Davies was a prolific writer of speeches, hymns, and even poems, and his words speak to many still today.

Samuel Davies, one of the most famous Puritan colonial ministers, here delivers a powerful word of warning to the members of his congregation. With stirring imagery, he illustrates that not all who are ressurected in the final days of Christiandom will be saved; in fact, he believes many will then be sent to Hell. Here he counsels his followers how to prepare, so they do not rise up only to be cast down.

There are certain elements of piety that are common among all Christians. They dedicate theirselves to the Lord, have good will toward all men, to name a few. But to truly be pious, one must spread the word of God to nonbelievers.

No one knows when the day of Judgement will occur - not even Archibald Alexander. He foretells this day as a day of miracles, where all the lives of the past and ancient patriachs will stand present. And for those who pass judgement of Jesus Christ, their future will be in heaven.

The essence of Christianity is to have faith. A blind faith, some would say, but Horatius Bonar takes this far away from the otherwise negative context it is used in. He illustrates how all the miracles, as performed by prophets such as Moses, were so great because of this unyielding faith being able to receive God’s full power.

Balaam, son of Beor, is known to us as a non-Israeli prophet who, despite his initial refusal to curse the Israelis, was eventually overcome by wickedness. Horatius Bonar explores in depth the nature of this duality. He details the fate and torments of anyone who allows themselves to be guided by a divided heart.

What armor would we wear when considered in a biblical sense of the glorious war? None of ornate metal but one that has a more spiritual defense. Bonar reflects further on the resolve, mental strength, and faith needed in order to build up a defense against sin and against evil.
