A. B. SIMPSON QUOTES

SEPERATES US FROM THE WORLD AND CONQUERS FEAR OF DEATH

"We must learn to live on the heavenly side and look at things from above. To contemplate all things as God sees them, as Christ beholds them, overcomes sin, defies Satan, dissolves perplexities, lifts us above trials, separates us from the world and conquers fear of death."

 - A. B. Simpson (1843-1919) Canadian Preacher, Theologian

REJOICE IN THE LORD

"Begin to rejoice in the Lord, and your bones will flourish like an herb, and your cheeks will glow with the bloom of health and freshness. Worry, fear, distrust, care-all are poisonous! Joy is balm and healing, and if you will but rejoice, God will give power."

- A. B. Simpson (1843-1919) Canadian Preacher, Theologian

ABOUT A. J. GOSSIP

Arthur John Gossip (1873-1954) was Professor of Christian Ethics and Practical Theology at the University from 1939 until 1945.

Born in Glasgow, Gossip graduated MA from the University of Edinburgh and was licensed as a Free Church of Scotland minister in 1898. He was minister of a number of churches before coming to St Matthew's United Free Church in Glasgow in 1910; he served as a chaplain in Belgium and France during the First World War, and he returned to Scotland as minister of Beechgrove Church in Aberdeen.

In 1928, Gossip was appointed Professor of Christian Ethics and Practical Training in the United Free Church's Divinity school in Glasgow (known as Trinity College after the reunion of the United Free and Church of Scotland in 1929, and the amalgamation of the Divinity schools at the College and the University). The University's Chair of Ethics and Practical Theology was suppressed after Gossip's retirement in 1945.

QUOTES BY  A. J. GOSSIP

WHAT EXACTLY HAS CHRIST DONE FOR YOU

"What exactly has Christ done for you? What is there in your life that needs Christ to explain it, and that, apart from Him, simply could not have been there at all? If there is nothing, then your religion is a sheer futility. But then that is your fault, not Jesus Christ's."

- A. J. Gossip (1873-1954) Professor of Christian Ethics

TREMENDOUS AND GLORIOUS REVELATION

"The core and essence of the Gospel is its tremendous and glorious revelation of how deadly is God's hatred of sin, so that He cannot stand having it in the same universe as Himself, and will go any length, and will pay any price, and will make any sacrifice, to master and abolish it, is set upon so doing in our hearts, thank God, as elsewhere."

- A. J. Gossip (1873-1954) Professor of Christian Ethics

PAIN IS A KINDLY, HOPEFUL THING  

"Pain is a kindly, hopeful thing, a certain proof of life, a clear assurance that all is not yet over, that there is still a chance. But if your heart has no pain -- well, that may betoken health, as you suppose: but are you certain that it does not mean that your soul is dead?"

- A. J. Gossip (1873-1954) Professor of Christian Ethics

DO NOT BURN FALSE FIRE UPON GOD'S ALTER

"Do not burn false fire upon God's altar; do not pose and pretend, either to Him or to yourself, in your religious exercises; do not say more than you mean, or use exaggerated language that goes beyond the facts, when speaking to Him whose word is truth."

- A. J. Gossip (1873-1954) Professor of Christian Ethics

GODS HATRED OF SIN  

"The core and essence of the Gospel is its tremendous and glorious revelation of how deadly is God's hatred of sin, so that He cannot stand having it in the same universe as Himself, and will go any length, and will pay any price, and will make any sacrifice, to master and abolish it, is set upon so doing in our hearts, thank God, as elsewhere."

ABOUT A. W. PINK

Born in Nottingham, England in 1886, Arthur Walkington Pink was converted to Christ while a spiritualist medium. He briefly attended the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, Illinois, in 1910, before taking up his first pastorate at Silverton, Colorado. Little-known to the outside world, he pastored other churches in the United States and Australia before finally returning to his homeland in 1934.

Settling in Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland, there he died almost unnoticed in 1952. By that date, however, the magazine he had started in 1922 – Studies in the Scriptures – was feeding several of the men who were leading a return to doctrinal Christianity, including Martyn Lloyd-Jones and Douglas Johnson (founder of Inter-Varsity) and, in book form after his death, his writings became very widely read across the world. The Trust publishes his The Sovereignty of God, Gleanings from Paul, Profiting from the Word, The Life of Elijah, and a number of titles which have been translated into Spanish.

The Life of Arthur W. Pink. By Iain H. Murray

QUOTES BY A. W. PINK

FAITH ENDURES AS SEEING HIM WHO IS INVISBLE

“Faith endures as seeing Him who is invisible; endures the disappointments, the hardships, and the heart-aches of life, by recognizing that all comes from the hand of Him who is too wise to err and too loving to be unkind.” 

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher

BETWEEN THE DEFEATED AND VICTORIOUS SAINT  

"Daily living by faith on Christ is what makes the difference between the sickly and the healthy Christian, between the defeated and the victorious saint." 

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher

LIKE THE DOCTRINE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT 

"Like the doctrine of the Holy Trinity and the miraculous birth of our Savior, the truth of election must be received with simple, unquestioning faith."

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher

SATAN IS EVER SEEKING TO INJECT POISON

"Satan is ever seeking to inject that poison into our hearts to distrust God's goodness - especially in connection with his commandments. That is what really lies behind all evil, lusting and disobedience. A discontent with our position and portion, a craving from something which God has wisely held from us. Reject any suggestion that God is unduly severe with you. Resist with the utmost abhorrence anything that causes you to doubt God's love and his lovingkindness toward you. Allow nothing to make you question the Father's love for his child."

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher 

WE MUST BE MADE TO FEEL OUR WEAKNESS

"Before He furnishes the abundant supply, we must first be made conscious of our emptiness. Before he gives strength, we must be made to feel our weakness. Slow, painfully slow, are we to learn this lesson; and slower still to own our nothingness and take the place of helplessness before the Mighty One."

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher

BEHIND ALL EVIL, LUSTING AND DISOBEDIENCE    

"Satan is ever seeking to inject that poison into our hearts to distrust God's goodness - especially in connection with his commandments. That is what really lies behind all evil, lusting and disobedience. A discontent with our position and portion, a craving from something which God has wisely held from us. Reject any suggestion that God is unduly severe with you. Resist with the utmost abhorrence anything that causes you to doubt God's love and his lovingkindness toward you. Allow nothing to make you question the Father's love for his child."   

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher   

THE BLESSINGS OF HIS GOODNESS TO HIS PEOPLE

"Prayer is the way and means God has appointed for the communication of the blessings of His goodness to His people."

PRAYER TO THE LORD OF THE HARVEST  

"It's true that (many) are praying for a worldwide revival. But it would be more timely, and more scriptural, for prayer to be made to the Lord of the harvest, that He would raise up and thrust forth laborers who would fearlessly and faithfully preach those truths which are calculated to bring about a revival."  

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher 

AS IN EVERYTHING, GOD'S THOUGHTS ARE NOT OURS

"Prayer is not appointed for the furnishing of God with the knowledge of what we need, but it is designed as a confession to Him of our sense of the need. In this, as in everything, God's thoughts are not as ours. God requires that His gifts should be sought for. He designs to be honoured by our asking, just as He is to be thanked by us after He has bestowed His blessing."

- A.W. Pink

THE MUCH TRIBUALTION WILL SOON BE OVER

"Troubled soul, the "much tribulation" will soon be over, and as you enter the "kingdom of God" you shall then see, no longer "through a glass darkly" but in the unshadowed sunlight of the Divine presence, that "all things" did "work together" for your personal and eternal good."

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher 

THE KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT WE NEED

Prayer is not appointed for the furnishing of God with the knowledge of what we need, but it is designed as a confession to Him of our sense of the need. In this, as in everything, God's thoughts are not as ours. God requires that His gifts should be sought for. He designs to be honoured by our asking, just as He is to be thanked by us after He has bestowed His blessing."

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher 

HIS GIFTS SHOULD BE SOUGHT FOR 

"Prayer is not appointed for the furnishing of God with the knowledge of what we need, but it is designed as a confession to Him of our sense of the need. In this, as in everything, God's thoughts are not as ours. God requires that His gifts should be sought for.

A LIFE THAT CONSISTS OF FOLLOWING JESUS

"The Christian life is a life that consists of following Jesus."

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher

MULTITUDES WISH TO ESCAPE THE LAKE OF FIRE   

"The nature of Christ's salvation is woefully misrepresented by the present-day evangelist. He announces a Saviour from Hell rather than a Saviour from sin. And that is why so many are fatally deceived, for there are multitudes who wish to escape the Lake of fire who have no desire to be delivered from their carnality and worldliness."  

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher  

THOUGH HARRASED BY SIN AND SATAN

"Though poor in this world's goods, though grieving the loss of loved ones, though suffering pain of body, though harassed by sin and Satan, though hated and persecuted by worldlings, whatever be the case and lot of the Christian, it is both his privilege and duty to rejoice in the Lord.."

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher 

INSTEAD OF COMPLAINING AT HIS LOT  

"Instead of complaining at his lot, a contented man is thankful that his condition and circumstances are no worse than they are. Instead of greedily desiring something more than the supply of his present need, he rejoices that God still cares for him. Such an one is "content" with such as he has."  

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher

POISON INTO OUR HEARTS TO DISTRUST GOD'S GOODNESS

"Satan is ever seeking to inject that poison into our hearts to distrust God's goodness - especially in connection with his commandments. That is what really lies behind all evil, lusting and disobedience. A discontent with our position and portion, a craving from something which God has wisely held from us. Reject any suggestion that God is unduly severe with you. Resist with the utmost abhorrence anything that causes you to doubt God's love and his lovingkindness toward you. Allow nothing to make you question the Father's love for his child."

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher 

A CONTENTED MAN IS THANKFUL 

"Instead of complaining at his lot, a contented man is thankful that his condition and circumstances are no worse than they are. Instead of greedily desiring something more than the supply of his present need, he rejoices that God still cares for him. Such an one is "content" with such as he has." 

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher 

A VISION AND A VIEW OF GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY HELPS

"A consciousness of our powerlessness should cast us upon Him who has all power. Here then is where a vision and view of God's sovereignty helps, for it reveals His sufficiency and shows us our insufficiency."

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher 

OUR DISAPPOINTMENTS ARE BUT HIS APPOINTMENTS 

Yes, give thanks for "all things" for, as it has been well said "Our disappointments are but His appointments."

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher

MY HEART IS MADE TO REJOICE  

"The mere fact itself that God's will is irresistible and irreversible fills me with fear, but once I realize that God wills only that which is good, my heart is made to rejoice."  

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher 

IN ALL THINGS THAT OFFEND HIM

"An honest heart seeks to please God in all things and offend Him in none."

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher

THE FRUIT OF A GENUINE CONVERSION  

"It is only in proportion as the Christian manifests the fruit of a genuine conversion that he is entitled to regard himself and be regarded by others as one of the called and elect of God. It is just in proportion as we add to our faith the other Christian graces that we have solid ground on which to rest in the assurance we belong to the family of Christ. It is not those who are governed by self-will, but "as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God" (Rom. 8:14)."  

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher 

COMPARING THEM WITH THE ETRTNAL WEIGHT OF GLORY 

"Afflictions are light when compared with what we really deserve. They are light when compared with the sufferings of the Lord Jesus. But perhaps their real lightness is best seen by comparing them with the weight of glory which is awaiting us."  

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher 

NOTHING TOO GREAT OR TOO SMALL  

"Nothing is too great and nothing is too small to commit into the hands of the Lord."  

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher 

BOTH PRIVILGE AND DUTY TO REJOICE  

"Though poor in this world's goods, though grieving the loss of loved ones, though suffering pain of body, though harassed by sin and Satan, though hated and persecuted by worldlings, whatever be the case and lot of the Christian, it is both his privilege and duty to rejoice in the Lord."  

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher 

GOD REQUIRES THAT HIS GIFTS SHOULD BE SOUGHT FOR

"Prayer is not appointed for the furnishing of God with the knowledge of what we need, but it is designed as a confession to Him of our sense of the need. In this, as in everything, God's thoughts are not as ours. God requires that His gifts should be sought for. He designs to be honoured by our asking, just as He is to be thanked by us after He has bestowed His blessing."

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher 

DECEIVED INTO SUPPOSING THEY HAVE "ACCEPTED CHRIST"

"Thousands are deceived into supposing that they have "accepted Christ" as their "personal Saviour", who have not first received Him as their LORD."

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher 

INSTEAD OF COMPLAINING AT HIS LOT

"Instead of complaining at his lot, a contented man is thankful that his condition and circumstances are no worse than they are. Instead of greedily desiring something more than the supply of his present need, he rejoices that God still cares for him. Such an one is 'content' with such as he has."

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher 

PRIVILEDGE AND DUTY TO REJOICE IN THE LORD

"Though poor in this world's goods, though grieving the loss of loved ones, though suffering pain of body, though harassed by sin and Satan, though hated and persecuted by worldlings, whatever be the case and lot of the Christian, it is both his privilege and duty to rejoice in the Lord."

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher

 REAL PRAYER IS COMMUNION WITH GOD

"Real prayer is communion with God, so that there will be common thoughts between His mind and ours. What is needed is for Him to fill our hearts with His thoughts, and then His desires will become our desires flowing back to Him."

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher 

CHRIST IS THE KEY WHICH UNLOCKS THE GOLDEN DOORS  

"Christ is the key which unlocks the golden doors into the temple of Divine truth."

- A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher

SINNER SAVED BY VIRTUE OF IT  

"Gospellers have much to say about what Christ's death accomplished for those who believe in Him, but very little is said about what that Death accomplished Godwards. The fact is that the death of Christ glorified God if never a single sinner had been saved by virtue of it." 

 - A. W. Pink (1886-1952) English Bible Teacher

ABOUT  ABRAHAM KUYPER 

Abraham Kuyper was one of the most extraordinary individuals of his time. A prolific intellectual and theologian, he founded the Free University in Amsterdam and was instrumental in the development of Neo-Calvinism. He was also an active politician, serving as a member of Parliament in the Netherlands beginning in 1874 and serving as Prime Minister from 1901 to 1905.

At this intersection of church and state, he devoted much of his writing towards developing a public theology. His passion was to faithfully understand and engage culture through a Christian worldview. The most famous example is his articulation of the doctrine of common grace. His work has influenced countless others, including Francis Schaeffer, Cornelius Van Til, and Alvin Plantinga.

In the video below, Richard Mouw, professor of faith and public life at Fuller Theological Seminary, and James Bratt, professor of history at Calvin College, discuss Kuyper’s legacy and how Kuyper’s thoughts speak into modern culture.

QUOTES BY ABRAHAM KUYPER

THE CURSE SHOULD NO LONGER REST UPON THE WORLD  

"The curse should no longer rest upon the world itself, but upon that which is sinful in it, and instead of monastic flight from the world the duty is now emphasized of serving God in the world, in every position in life." 

 - Abraham Kuyper (1837–1920) Netherlands Theologian and Intellectual

WITH ALL THE FIRE OF YOUR FAITH

"When principles that run against your deepest convictions begin to win the day, then battle is your calling, and peace has become sin; you must, at the price of dearest peace, lay your convictions bare before friend and enemy, with all the fire of your faith."

- Abraham Kuyper (1837–1920) Prime Minister Netherlands, Theologian, Journalist

ABOUT ADONIRAM JUDSON

Adoniram Judson, Jr. (August 9, 1788 – April 12, 1850) was an American Congregationalist and later Baptist missionary, who served in Burma for almost forty years. At the age of 25, Adoniram Judson became the first Caucasian Protestant missionary sent from North America to preach in Burma. His mission and work with Luther Rice led to the formation of the first Baptist association in America to support missionaries.

At times mistakenly referred to as the first Protestant missionary to Burma, he was in fact preceded by James Chater and Richard Mardon (who both arrived in 1807) as well as by Felix Carey. However, since those predecessors did not remain long, and Judson also translated the Bible into Burmese, as well as established a number of Baptist churches in Burma, Judson is remembered as the first significant missionary in Burma, as well as one of the very first missionaries from America to travel overseas.

Adoniram Judson, Jr. was an American Congregationalist and later Baptist missionary, who served in Burma for almost forty years.

Adoniram was born in 1788. He was the son of Adonirum Judson and Abigail Brown.

He passed away in 1850 in the Bay of Bengal and is buried at sea. He has a cenotaph at Burial Hill Cemetery in Plymouth, Massachusetts.

ABOUT ALBERT BARNES

Albert Barnes was born in Rome, New York on December 1, 1798. He graduated from Hamilton College in Clinton, NY, in 1820, and from Princeton Theological Seminary, in 1823.

Barnes was ordained pastor of the Presbyterian church in Morristown, NJ, in 1825. He was pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia, 1830-67, where he resigned and was made pastor emeritus. He was an advocate of total abstinence from alcohol, was a staunch proponent of the abolition of slavery, and worked actively to promote Sunday-school.

In 1835 he was brought to trial for heresy by the Second Presbytery of Philadelphia, and was acquitted, but his accusers succeeded in having him suspended from the ministry, but he was again acquitted of heresy in 1836. The charges of heresy primarily related to his comments on Romans and the fact that Barnes broke from strict Calvinism and taught that man had free will to accept or deny the Gospel. He was a leader in the "New School" branch of the Presbyterian church.

His commentary on the entire New Testament and on portions of the Old (Notes: Explanatory and Practical, 1832-72), designed originally for his congregation in Philadelphia, were well-suited for popular use and more than one million copies were sold before his death.

He died in West Philadelphia on December 24, 1870.

Death

Barnes died in Philadelphia on December 24, 1870, of natural causes, 23 days after his 72nd birthday. His widow wrote, "His death was sudden and entirely unexpected. His health, with the exception of his eyesight, seemed to be perfect, -- mind and body active and full of energy. The day he died, he spent the morning in the city, dined with us cheerfully as usual, and afterwards walked with my daughter about a mile and a quarter into the country, to visit some friends in deep affliction. They reached the house, and he conversed for a few minutes, when he threw back his head, breathed rather heavily, and before the physician, who was immediately summoned, could arrive, he had passed away. In an instant, as it seemed, without pain or any consciousness of entering the 'dark valley,' he was with his Saviour."

QUOTES BY ALBERT BARNES

THE IDEA OF PREACHING THE GOSPEL TO ALL NATIONS

"The idea of preaching the gospel to all nations alike, regardless of nationality, of internal divisions as to rank and color, complexion and religion, constituted the beginning of a new era in history. You cannot preach the gospel in its purity over the world, without proclaiming the doctrine of civil and religious liberty,--without overthrowing the barriers reared between nations and clans and classes of men,--without ultimately undermining the thrones of despots, and breaking off the shackles of slavery,--without making men everywhere free."

- Albert Barnes (1798–1870) was an American theologian, Clergyman 

SUCH WAS GOD'S ORIGINAL LOVE FOR MAN

"Such was God's original love for man that He was willing to stoop to any sacrifice to save him; and the gift of a Saviour was the mere expression of that love."

- Albert Barnes (1798–1870) was an American theologian, Clergyman

THE BIBLE AS A REVELATION FROM GOD

"The Bible, as a revelation from God, was not designed to give us all the information we might desire, nor to solve all the questions about which the human soul is perplexed, but to impart enough to be a safe guide to the haven of eternal rest."

- Albert Barnes (1798-1870) American Presbyterian clergyman and Writer 

WHEN LIFE HAS BEEN WELL SPENT

 "When life has been well spent; when there is a conscience without reproach; when there is faith in the Savior; when there is a well-founded hope of heaven, there can be nothing that should disquiet us."

- Albert Barnes (1798–1870) was an American theologian, Clergyman

ABOUT ALEXANDER MACLAREN

Maclaren was born in Glasgow on February 11, 1826, and died in Manchester on May 5, 1910. He had been for almost sixty-five years a minister, entirely devoted to his calling. He lived more than almost any of the great preachers of his time between his study, his pulpit, his pen.

He subdued action to thought, thought to utterance and utterance to the Gospel. His life was his ministry; his ministry was his life. In 1842 he was enrolled as a candidate for the Baptist ministry at Stepney College, London. He was tall, shy, silent and looked no older than his sixteen years. But his vocation, as he himself (a consistent Calvinist) might have said, was divinely decreed. "I cannot ever recall any hesitation as to being a minister," he said. "It just had to be."

In the College he was thoroughly grounded in Greek and Hebrew. He was taught to study the Bible in the original and so the foundation was laid for his distinctive work as an expositor and for the biblical content of his preaching. Before Maclaren had finished his course of study he was invited to Portland Chapel in Southampton for three months; those three months became twelve years. He began his ministry there on June 28, 1846. His name and fame grew.

His ministry fell into a quiet routine for which he was always grateful: two sermons on Sunday, a Monday prayer meeting and a Thursday service and lecture. His parishioners thought his sermons to them were the best he ever preached. In April 1858 he was called to be minister at Union Chapel in Manchester. No ministry could have been happier. The church prospered and a new building had to be erected to seat 1,500; every sitting was taken. His renown as preacher spread throughout the English-speaking world. His pulpit became his throne. He was twice elected President of the Baptist Union. He resigned as pastor in 1905 after a ministry of forty-five years.

Maclaren's religious life was hid with Christ in God. He walked with God day by day. He loved Jesus Christ with a reverent, holy love and lived to make Him known. In his farewell sermon at Union he said: "To efface oneself is one of a preacher's first duties."

QUOTES BY ALEXANDER MACLAREN 

THE THOUGHT OF ETERNITY IN OUR HEARTS

"Transiency is stamped on all our possessions, occupations, and delights. We have the hunger for eternity in our souls, the thought of eternity in our hearts, the destination for eternity written on our inmost being, and the need to ally ourselves with eternity proclaimed by the most short-lived trifles of time. Either these things will be the blessing or the curse of our lives. Which do you mean that they shall be for you?" 

- Alexander MacLaren (1826-1919) President Baptist World Congress

GREAT WHITE THRONE AND THE CRYSTAL SEA    

"Ordinary human motives will appeal in vain to the ears which have heard the tones of the heavenly music; and all the pomp of life will show poor and tawdry to the sight that has gazed on the vision of the great white throne and the crystal sea."    

- Alexander MacLaren (1826-1919) President Baptist World Congress  

HE WHO IS ONE IN WILL AND HEART WITH GOD IS A CHRISTIAN

"The sum of the whole matter is this: He who is one in will and heart with God is a Christian. He who loves God is one in will and heart with Him. He who trusts Christ loves God. That is Christianity in its ultimate purpose and result. That is Christianity in its means and working forces. That is Christianity in its starting point and foundation.

- Alexander MacLaren (1826-1919) President Baptist World Congress

CHRISTIANITY IN ITS STRATING POINT AND FOUNDATION

"The sum of the whole matter is this: He who is one in will and heart with God is a Christian. He who loves God is one in will and heart with Him. He who trusts Christ loves God. That is Christianity in its ultimate purpose and result. That is Christianity in its means and working forces. That is Christianity in its starting point and foundation."

- Alexander MacLaren (1826-1919) President Baptist World Congress

YOU HAVE TO LIVE WITH HIM DAY BY DAY

"You have to live with Him day by day, and year by year, and to learn to know Him as we learn to know husbands and wives, by continual experience of a sweet and unfailing love, by many a sacred hour of interchange of affection and reception of gifts and counsels."

- Alexander MacLaren (1826-1919) President Baptist World Congress

DEEP TRUE THOUGHT WHICH OLD PAINTERS HAD

"It was a deep true thought which the old painters had, when they drew John as likest to his Lord. Love makes us like."

- Alexander MacLaren (1826-1919) President Baptist World Congress

THE DARK WOUNDS OF AFFLICTION AND SORROW

"Oh, when we are journeying through the murky night and the dark woods of affliction and sorrow, it is something to find here and there a spray broken, or a leafy stem bent down with the tread of His foot and the brush of His hand as He passed; and to remember that the path He trod He has hallowed, and thus to find lingering fragrance and hidden strength in the remembrance of Him as "in all points tempted like as we are," bearing grief for us, bearing grief with us, bearing grief like us."

- Alexander MacLaren (1826-1919) President Baptist World Congress

KINDNESS OF GOD IN YOUR DAILY LIFE  

"Seek to cultivate a buoyant, joyous sense of the crowded kindnesses of God in your daily life." 

- Alexander MacLaren (1826-1919) President Baptist World Congress

TRUE FAITH FIXES ITS GAZE ON OUR DIVINE MAKER

True faith, by a mighty effort of the will, fixes its gaze on our Divine Helper, and there finds it possible and wise to lose its fears. It is madness to say, "I will not be afraid;" it is wisdom and peace to say, "I will trust and not be afraid."

- Alexander MacLaren (1826-1919) President Baptist World Congress

YET OMNIPOTENT INFLUX INTO OUR HEARTS

"The risen life of Jesus is the nourishment and strengthening and blessing and life of a Christian. Our daily experience ought to be that there comes, wavelet by wavelet, that silent, gentle, and yet omnipotent influx into our empty hearts, this very life of Christ Himself."

- Alexander MacLaren (1826-1919) President Baptist World Congress

HIDDEN STRENGTH IN THE REMEMBRANCE OF HIM

"Oh, when we are journeying through the murky night and the dark woods of affliction and sorrow, it is something to find here and there a spray broken, or a leafy stem bent down with the tread of His foot and the brush of His hand as He passed; and to remember that the path He trod He has hallowed, and thus to find lingering fragrance and hidden strength in the remembrance of Him as "in all points tempted like as we are," bearing grief for us, bearing grief with us, bearing grief like us."

- Alexander MacLaren (1826-1919) President Baptist World Congress

THE RECORD OF A PERSON WHO IS THE TRUTH

"The gospel is not speculation but fact. It is truth, because it is the record of a Person who is the Truth."

- Alexander MacLaren (1826-1919) President Baptist World Congress

LEARN TO KNOW HIM

"You have to live with Him day by day, and year by year, and to learn to know Him as we learn to know husbands and wives, by continual experience of a sweet and unfailing love, by many a sacred hour of interchange of affection and reception of gifts and counsels."

- Alexander MacLaren (1826-1919) President Baptist World Congress

BE AS RESOLUTE AND DETERMINED AS YOU CHOOSE

"I will" is no word for man. There is a far diviner one, "I ought." Bow passion to reason, reason to conscience, and conscience to God, and then be as resolute and determined as you choose."

- Alexander MacLaren (1826-1919) President Baptist World Congress

HE THAT HAS SEEN ME HAS SEEN THE THE FATHER

The tears of Christ are the pity of God. The gentleness of Jesus is the long-suffering of God. The tenderness of Jesus is the love of God. "He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father."

- Alexander MacLaren (1826-1919) President Baptist World Congress

COME TO JESUS AND MEEET HIM ALONE  

"The act of faith, which separates us from all men, unites us for the first time in real brotherhood; and they who, one by one, come to Jesus and meet Him alone, next find that they are come to the city of God "and to an innumerable company."  

- Alexander MacLaren (1826-1919) President Baptist World Congress

THE CROSS IS THE CENTER OF WORLD'S HISTORY  

"The cross is the center of the world's history; the incarnation of Christ and the crucifixion of our Lord are the pivot round which all the events of the ages revolve. The testimony of Christ was the spirit of prophecy, and the growing power of Jesus is the spirit of history."  

- Alexander MacLaren (1826-1919) President Baptist World Congress

WHICH OUR CIRCUMSTANCES MOST REQUIRE

"The vision of the Divine Presence ever takes the form which our circumstances most require."

- Alexander MacLaren (1826-1919) President Baptist World Congress

TRUE CONFIDENCE WHICH IS FAITH IN CHRIST

"The true confidence which is faith in Christ, and the true diffidence which is utter distrust of myself--are identical."

- Alexander MacLaren (1826-1919) President Baptist World Congress

CAST YOURSELF WITH ALL YOUR WEIGHT  

"You must cast yourself on God's gospel with all your weight, without any hanging back, without any doubt, without even the shadow of a suspicion that it will give." 

- Alexander MacLaren (1826-1919) President Baptist World Congress

BE DILIGENT IN THE PRESENT  

"Being in Christ, it is safe to forget the past; it is possible to be sure of the future; it is possible to be diligent in the present."  

- Alexander MacLaren

THE SMALL VOICE IN WHICH GOD SPEAKS

"Do not let the loud utterances of your own wills anticipate, nor drown, the still, small voice in which God speaks. Bridle impatience till He does. If you cannot hear His whisper, wait till you do. Take care of running before you are sent. Keep your wills in equipoise till God's hand gives the impulse and direction."

- Alexander MacLaren (1826-1919) President Baptist World Congress

DO YOUR WORK HEARTILY 

"If you want to live in this world, doing the duty of life, knowing the blessings of it, doing your work heartily, and yet not absorbed by it, remember that the one power whereby you can so act is, that all shall be consecrated to Christ, and done for His sake."  

- Alexander MacLaren (1826-1919) President Baptist World Congress

THE RAVEN OF HIS ANXIOUS THOUGHTS   

"He that has no present Christ has a future, dark, chaotic, heaving with its destructive ocean; and over it there goes forever--black-pinioned winging its solitary and hopeless flight, the raven of his anxious thoughts, and finds no place to rest, and comes back again to the desolate ark with its foreboding croak of evil in the present and evil in the future."  

- Alexander MacLaren (1826-1919) President Baptist World Congress

TRIBULATION WORKETH PATIENCE

"Tribulation worketh patience; and patience, experience; and experience, hope." That is the order. You cannot put patience and experience into a parenthesis, and, omitting them, bring hope out of tribulation."

- Alexander MacLaren (1826-1919) President Baptist World Congress

ABOUT ALEXANDER WHYTE 

Born in the small Angus town of Kirriemuir, Whyte was educated at Aberdeen University and the Free Church College in Edinburgh. After four years as assistant minister at Free St. John's, Glasgow (1866-1870), he became colleague and successor to the famous R. S. Candlish at Free St. George's, Edinburgh. His appearance in the pulpit was as arresting and impressive as the preaching itself, which attracted people of every class and kind. A deep appreciation of God's grace to save sinners gave him rare passion and power. A dramatic quality captivated his congregations with its depth of spiritual fervor. "To know Dr. Whyte", said J. M. Barrie, himself a native of Kirriemuir, "was to know what the Covenanters were like in their most splendid hours."

In the month after Dr. Candlish died (1873), Whyte welcomed to Edinburgh two unknown American evangelists, Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey, and warmly supported both their meetings and the follow-up work. Such was the attendance at his own Tuesday prayer meeting that it had to move from the hall into the church itself. His addresses to men on personal morality were unusually forthright, and some were "shaken to the foundations of their being".

Whyte also had a breadth of culture (he lectured on Dante and corresponded with Newman) not often found in evangelicals of his day. In 1909 he became principal of New College, a post he held until three years before his death. He was moderator of his church's general assembly in 1898, and he wrote much, but it is as a preacher that he will always be remembered.

Family

In 1881 he was married to Jane Elizabeth Barbour (1861-1944). Their son Robert Barbour Whyte was killed in the First World War. Their eldest son (Alexander) Frederick Whyte was a journalist and politician who received a knighthood. Their daughter Janet Chance was a feminist author and campaigner for sex education, birth control, and access to abortion.  He retired to Buckinghamshire around 1915 and died there. However he was returned to Edinburgh for burial. He is buried near the north-west corner of the first northern extension to Dean Cemetery.

IF YOU FIND YOUR LIFE OF PRAYER
