Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sermons From the Pulpit The very slight miscellaneous training he had received, was as defective in kind as limited in extent, and with heart and will to go forward in the great work before him, he felt from the first, and at every step, that something beyond the ordinary food and shelter of mind, was neces sary to prepare him for the pulpit. He saw that deter mined and earnest reliance upon his own efforts was his only resource, and relying upon Divine aid, he sought to apply himself accordingly. Without guide or model, with no one to direct or strike out a course for him as a student, he was left to project and explore his own path, or be content with what he was likely to become, from the mere force of circumstances. With strong intuitive perceptions and sympathies, in relation to the good and the beautiful in nature and mo rals, with irrepressible yearnings to learn and toknow; the means and expedients to which he would be driven, as the only possible condition of ability and in uence as a minister, can be readily imagined. He soon found that while improvement, in the field of thought and labor he had chosen, had some fixed and necessary elements, many of its phases were altogether doubtful and tentative, and that all depended on trial and effort, and under the stim ulus and pressure of duty and necessity, the tension of strong desire and unrelaxed endeavor, yielding to the tendencies Of his nature without rule or model, except the ideal of his own perceptions, be appealed for aid to what ever was likely to avail him. He was the pupil, and sought to learn of whatever there was about him, from which he could derive instruction or aid. Reading, re fiection, Observation and experience - inward springs and outward relations - all the affinities and in uences of mind.

Download or read book The Fruit of the Spirit and Other Sermons from a Greylock Pulpit Classic Reprint written by Alford Brown Penniman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-22 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fruit of the Spirit and Other Sermons From a Greylock Pulpit Most of these sermons were delivered between january and June of eighteen hundred and ninety-seven. They first appeared in a weekly publication called A Greylock Pulpit. It seems fitting to give a few reasons which led to their publication. Surrounded with machinery for what is known as Institutional church work, I desired to make emphatic the inspiration which belongs to the living Word. Having already in use a sufficiently elaborate order of worship, multiplied organizations, a parish house with gymnasium and amusement rooms, a young men's literary society, all splendid channels for energy; the pulpit as a herald may speak to the indifferent life of the community and induce interest by means of the impersonal page. In the half-hour or more given to the sermon, there is much condensation, which is not in vain. If opportunity for review be given the people from week to week. I saw a further reason in the good chance to revive old friendships. One who has changed his residence, the old homestead for the college, the college for the world, one church, town or country for another, what ever his gain, must keenly feel the loss of separation. Perhaps my ser mons may prove a long, rough pole, by which I shall still save drowning friendships. Please note that the series was not christened The, but A Grey lock Pulpit. The title was given me by Greylock Mountain itself. The base begins beneath my study and the mountain rises to a height of four thousand feet of beauty and strength. On a clear day at least four states, New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts and perhaps Connecticut can be seen from this summit. Greylock is Berkshire's Mount Zion. If mountaineers are always freemen, mountain preach ers ought to be free preachers. This Taconic mountain has been the object of much contention among geologists. However, their polemic was of the last decade. Theological strife is happily passing, and the church of today has earnestly begun to study sociology. Greylock has lately been made a type by geologists. The churches of our valley are slowly conforming to a higher ideal. Again Greylock is a deposit, not the result of volcanic action like the lower and opposite Hoosac range. The Greylock message therefore is that our social changes ought to be educational and gradual rather than fierce and revolutionary.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Princeton Pulpit The sermon of Dr. Archibald Alexander is probably the last complete discourse he ever prepared, and was delivered by him in the City of New York, at the instal lation of his son, the Rev. James W. Alexander, D.D. The friends of Prof. Dod have selected from his manu scripts a sermon, which from its subject, was one of his favourite discourses. Its devout and elevating sentiments, in regard to those things that are not seen, will doubt less be read with peculiar interest, now that he who uttered them, is no longer looking at those things, as through a glass, darkly, but face to face beholds them, with the Open vision of one of the Spirits of the just made perfect.

This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sermons, Prayers, and Pulpit Addresses Who it was that penned the ms. There is no means of knowing, nor is it likely that this will ever be discovered. Most probably he was a resident in St Andrews. But whoever he was, he appears to have executed his task, (if that can be called a task, which seems to have been a labour of love, ) with exemplary fidelity and accuracy. That he was an ardent admirer of Henderson there can be no doubt, and we may fairly enough conjecture that he was led to wait on his ministry at this time, and take down everything that fell from his lips, even to his very prayers, by a sense of the supreme importance of his public utterances at such a crisis in the history of the church and kingdom of Scotland. Judging from the character of the MS we should say that this unknown person was a man of intelligence and educa tion, though not deeply skilled in the learned tongues.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Signs of Promise: Sermons Preached in Plymouth Pulpit, Brooklyn, 1887-9 This volume contains eighteen sermons which, during the two years of my ministry in Plymouth Church, have been from time to time specially re quested for publication, either by the officers of the church or by members of the congregation. If there is any reason for their publication, it lies in the fact that they have been helpful to some hearers who have believed that they might be helpful to others in the reading. They are printed as de livered; they were not written, but were taken down stenographically and subsequently revised by myself for publication. They have therefore the characteristics of extempore address. These char acteristics I have neither attempted to remove nor to conceal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Temperance Pulpit: A Series of Sermons We want apostles like those of the Bible, for ills like those of the world. This short letter contains the pattern of a ministry for the times. The Judas who did not betray his Lord will not suffer sin upon a brother. It is not enough that we be upright in our own conduct; we must be downright in regard to every form of sin, and every class of sinners. "Beloved!" - I venture to adopt Jude's language, while I pray for a portion of his spirit, - "beloved," this is a word for you. It is not an answer to the first question, "What must I do to be saved?" but an answer to the second, which is like unto it, "What must the saved do in the service of his Redeemer?" It is specifically addressed to the disciples of Christ; and, brief though the address be, it gives in two grand hemispheres the whole circle of a believers duty. The first care of a Christian is to sustain and strengthen his own spiritual life, and the second is to save his neighbours. Both are here, and each is in its own place. As om beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given unto him, arranged and expressed the twin efforts of a minister's life, "Save thyself, and them that hear thee," Jude, under direction of the same Spirit, gives the same instructions and makes the same division. There Is not any discussion as to whether they should work. That is assumed; and the Word tells the workers what they should do, and how they should do It. God has a great work in the world. Christians are required to yield themselves as His instruments. The apostle here tells whereby the instrument may be kept keen-edged, and how It should be plied upon the rough material around.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sermon Reading AN oosterzee, in his Practice of The ology, complains that the History Of the Art Of Preaching is only for too many terra incog nita, but allows validity to the excuse that there is yet wanting a good history Of the Art. Furthermore, the exceeding meagerness, in all Church annals, Of reference to that institution, dignified and emphasized by the final command Of Christ to his Disciples, is like a surprise, disap pointment and mystery to the student Of Chris tian history. Therefore, the task Of presenting any historic phase of this subject is not an easy one. Hence, I bespeak the forbearing consid cration Of my readers in this attempt in a brief and imperfect way to tell whence and how the practice of sermons in the pulpit has come to be so familiar with us.

Download or read book The English Pulpit written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-18 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Pulpit: Collection of Sermons by the Most Eminent Living Divines of England The fact that the public are already in possession of many valuable collections of sermons, cannot be deemed a sufficient reason for not increasing the number of such publications. On the contrary, new accessions to the existing stock are constantly needed to supply the places of those that are yearly passing into disuse. There is a freshness in a work directly from the press - especially if it contain a choice variety of matter - which gives to it a peculiar charm. Perhaps "'Tis curiosity. - Who hath not felt Its spirit, and before its altar knelt?" - that will lead many to read with interest a new book, who would never advance beyond the title page of an old one of equal merit. That this inert love of novelty may be turned to the best account, no pains should be spared to furnish an ample supply of healthy aliment, that thus the reluctant mind may be allured to the reception of useful instruction. Besides, it is a fact - scarcely less interesting to the patriot than to the Christian - that the alarming demand for a large class of publications, pregnant with the most deadly poison, under which the press for years has "groaned, being burdened," is gradually diminishing, while good, truthful, and religious books are finding a correspondingly greater sale. To answer this increasing demand, and as an antidote to the poison, every Christian press in the land should be kept busy, scattering its "healing leaves" with an unsparing hand, until useful and religious books, like Aaron's rod, shall have swallowed up the serpents of the magicians. In offering to the public this collection of sermons, it is proper to state that, with the exception of a single discourse, no portion of the present volume has before been published in this country. It will be found to contain sermons by several ministers whose productions are comparatively little known to the American public. Among these might be mentioned that of Daniel Moore, the worthy successor of Melvill, at Camden Chapel. Mr. Moore is justly celebrated both as a preacher and a writer.
