Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:32 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=57 The first thing I wish to make clear is that Baptists do not teach nor believe that you have to belong to their church to be saved. We do not believe that because we are the oldest church in the world that we hold the keys to the Kingdom of God, and that no one else can preach Jesus. Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:32 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=56 This is an unusually good book of sermons. In printing this book, of necessity I have read the most of it fully three times and some of it even more, and each time the messages have been read they have impressed themselves upon me as being still greater than I had previously thought. To say that I consider the contents of these sermons as being sane, sound and logical is but stating it mildly. Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:32 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=55 The death of Christ, the incarnate Son of God, is the most remarkable event in all history. Its uniqueness was demonstrated in various ways. Centuries before it occurred it was foretold with an amazing fullness of detail, by those men whom God raised up in the midst of Israel to direct their thoughts and expectations to a fuller and more glorious revelation of Himself. Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:32 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=54 We believe the Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired, and is a perfect treasure of heavenly instruction; that it has God for its Author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error for its matter; that it reveals the principles by which God will judge us; and, therefore is, and shall remain to the end of the world, the true basis of all Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and opinions should be tried. Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:32 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=53 Arthur Pink wrote The Holy Spirit to help Christians better understand the Third Person of the Godhead and further their Christian development. In The Holy Spirit Pink addresses such matters as; The Third Person of the Godhead, The Personality of the Holy Spirit, The Work of the Spirit, Honoring the Spirit, And much more. "The need for the study of the Holy Spirit is real and pressing." Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:32 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=52 In the articles upon "The Doctrine of Justification" we contemplated the transcendent grace of God which provided for His people a Surety, who kept for them perfectly His holy law, and who also endured the curse which was due to their manifold transgressions against it. In consequence thereof, though in ourselves we are criminals who deserve to be brought to the bar of God's justice and there be sentenced to death, we are, nevertheless, by virtue of the accepted service of our Substitute, not only not condemned, but "justified," that is, pronounced righteous in the high courts of Heaven. Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:32 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=51 Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:32 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=50 Three considerations have influenced us in the selection of this theme. First, a desire to preserve the balance of Truth. Second, because of a felt need of again bringing conspicuously before our readers "the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ." Third, because it treats of an aspect of the Gospel which receives scant attention in the modern pulpit. Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:31 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=1 In 1929 we wrote a booklet entitled "A Threefold Salvation" based upon the instruction we had received during our spiritual infancy. Like most of that early teaching, it was defective because inadequa Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:31 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=2 Much has been written on what is usually called "the Lord?s Prayer" (which I prefer to term "the Family Prayer") and much upon the high priestly prayer of Christ in John 17, but very little upon the p Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:31 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=3 Having written so much upon both the inspiration and the interpretation of Holy Writ, it is necessary, in order to give completeness unto the same, to supply one or two articles upon the application thereof. First, because this is very closely related to exegesis itself: if a wrong application or use be made of a verse, then our explanation of it is certain to be erroneous.

Pink Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:31 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=5 The work unto which the servant of Christ is called is many-sided. Not only is he to preach the Gospel to the unsaved, to feed God's people with knowledge and understanding (Jer. 3:15), and to take up the stumbling stone out of their way (Isa. 57:14), but he is also charged to "cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and show My people their transgression" (Isa. 58:1 and cf. 1 Tim. 4:2). While another important part of his commission is stated in, "Comfort ye, My people, said you Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:31 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=6 The covenants occupy no subordinate place on the pages of divine revelation, as even a superficial perusal of Scripture will show. The word covenant is found no fewer than twenty-five times in the very first book of the Bible; and occurs again scores of times in the remaining books of the Pentateuch, in the Psalms and in the Prophets. Nor is the word inconspicuous in the New Testament. Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:31 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=7 Every once in a while we receive an inquiry or a request for help on this subject, usually from one who has come into contact with some belonging to a cult which gives prominence to "Divine healing," to the removal of physical ills without the aid of a doctor and medicine, in response to faith and prayer. Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:31 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=8 This time we take up our pen to write on one of the most solemn truths taught in the Word. And ere we began we turned to the Lord and earnestly sought that wisdom and grace which we are conscious we sorely need; making request that we might be preserved from all error in what we shall say... Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:31 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=9 This blessed subject has been an occasion for fierce strife in the theological world, and nowhere is the breach between Calvinists and Arminians more apparent than in their diverse views of this doctrine. Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:31 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=10 Arthur Pink's deep concern for experimental Christianity and the practical Christian life, however, is not so well known. Yet he wrote many short series and single articles on what Scripture has to say about the inner man.

Yea, we go further; we greatly fear that in many instances it has proved a curse rather than a blessing. Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:31 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=22 Opinion has been much divided concerning the design, scope, and application of the Sermon on the Mount. Most commentators have seen in it an exposition of Christian ethics. Men such as the late Count Tolstoi have regarded it as the setting forth of a "golden rule" for all men to live by. Others have dwelt upon its dispensational bearings, insisting that it belongs not to the saints of the present dispensation but to believers within a future millennium. Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:31 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=23 Across the varied scenes depicted by prophecy there falls the shadow of a figure at once commanding and ominous. Under many different names like the aliases of a criminal, his character and movements are set before us. It is our intention to write a series of papers concerning this one who will be the full embodiment of human wickedness and the final manifestation of satanic blasphemy. Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:31 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=24 Election is a foundational doctrine. In the past, many of the ablest teachers were accustomed to commence their systematic theology with a presentation of the attributes of God, and then a contemplation of His eternal decrees; and it is our studied conviction, after perusing the writings of many of our moderns, that the method followed by their predecessors cannot be improved upon. Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:31 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=26 Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:31 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=27 The best of Arthur W Pink’s writings are those in which he explains the practical aspects of the Christian life. He was aware that the interest of many professing Christians during the period in which he lived focused on doctrinal matters, in particular, unfulfilled prophecy. In addition he regarded much of the practical teaching that was given as shallow and not coming up to scriptural demands. Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:31 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=28 The name which is usually given to our subject by Christian writers is that of "Growth in Grace" which is a scriptural expression, being found 2 Peter 3:18. But it appears to us that, strictly speaking, growing in grace has reference to but a single aspect or branch of our theme: "that your love may abound yet more and more" (Phil. 1:9) treats of another aspect, and "your faith groweth exceedingly" (2 Thess. 1:3), with yet another.

Here is a theme which in this day is regarded by many well-meaning people as an ideal of visionaries or as the pet hobby of certain cranks. So grievously has the study of Prophecy been ignored, so little place is given in the modern pulpit to the exposition of eschatology, and so generally is the daily reading of the Bible neglected by those in the pew, that it is an easy matter to persuade the average church-goer that the subject of the Second Coming of Christ is impracti Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:31 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=30 Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:31 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=31 Gleanings From Elisha Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:31 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=32 Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:31 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=33 Much Has Been Written upon what is usually called "The Lord’s Prayer" but which we prefer to term "The Family Prayer," and much upon the high priestly prayer of Christ in John 17, but very little upon the prayers of the apostles. Personally we know of no book devoted to the same, and except for a booklet on the two prayers of Ephesians 1 and 3 we have seen scarcely anything thereon. It is not easy to explain this omission, for one would think the apostolic prayers had such importance and value f Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:31 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=34 In commencing the study of any book in the Bible it is well to remind ourselves that each separate book has some prominent and dominant theme which, as such, is peculiar to itself, around which everything is made to center, and of which all the details are but the amplification. What that leading subject may be, we should make it our business to prayerfully and diligently ascertain. Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:31 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=35 I want to open this booklet by saying with all the emphasis at my command EVERY CHRISTIAN SHOULD BE A CHURCH MEMBER and also say with equal emphasis EVERY CHURCH MEMBER SHOULD BE A CHRISTIAN. Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:31 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=36 The testimony which, according to Scripture, Christ has given of Himself is developed and confirmed by the preaching of the apostles. The confession that a man, named Jesus, is the Christ, the Only-Begotten of the Father, is in such direct conflict with our experience and with all of our thinking, and especially with all the inclinations of our heart, that no one can honestly and with his whole soul appropriate it without the persuasive activity of the Holy Spirit. Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:31 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=37 The Eternal Being reveals Himself in His triune existence even more richly and vitally than in His attributes. It is in this holy trinity that each attribute of His Being comes into its own, so to speak, gets its fullest content, and takes on its profoundest meaning.

Christianity is based upon the impregnable rock of Holy Scripture. The starting point of all doctrinal discussion must be the Bible. Upon the foundation of the Divine inspiration of the Bible stands or falls the entire edifice of Christian truth.

In every sphere of life the sad fact confronts us. In the well-nigh total absence of any real discipline in the majority of the churches, we see the principle exemplified. Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:31 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=44 This book not only gives the reader the necessary tools for correct, biblical hermeneutics, but Pink also includes numerous examples of how each pricniple is dilligently applied to God's Word. Interpretations of the Scriptures will serve as a great resource for the pastor, volunteer Bible study leader, or any one willing to invest the time necessary to correctly read and apply the Lord's revealed Truth.

Arthur Walkington Pink was an English Christian evangelist and Biblical scholar known for his staunchly Calvinist and Puritan-like teachings. Though born to Christian parents, prior to conversion he migrated into a Theosophical society (an occult gnostic group popular in England during that time), and quickly rose in prominence within their ranks. His conversion came from his father's patient admonitions from Scripture. It was the verse, Proverbs 14:12, 'there is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death,' which particularly struck his heart and compelled him to renounce Theosophy and follow Jesus. Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:31 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=49 It is generally recognized that spirituality is at a low ebb in Christendom and not a few perceive that sound doctrine is rapidly on the wane, yet many of the Lord’s people take comfort from supposing that the Gospel is still being widely preached and that large numbers are being saved thereby. Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:00 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=25 The justification of the believer is absolute, complete, final. "It is God that justifieth" (Rom. 8:33), and "I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it" (Eccl. 3:14). So absolute and inexorable is this blessed fact that, in Romans 8:30 we are told, "Whom He justified, them He also glorified": notice it is not simply a promise that God "will glorify," but so sure and certain is that blissful event, the past tense is used. Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:00 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=45 There is much in God's prophetic program which must necessarily remain dark until the parables of this chapter are thoroughly mastered. At present they are much misunderstood and misinterpreted. Wed 31st Dec 1969 17:12:00 http://www.pbministries.org/mobile/mobileresults.php?recordID=46 From one generation to another, the servants of the Lord have sought to edify their fellow-believers by commenting on the Old Testament narrative. In such ministries expositions of the life of Elijah have always been prominent. His sudden appearance out of complete obscurity, his dramatic interventions in the national history of Israel, his miracles, his departure from earth in a chariot of fire, all serve to captivate the thought of preacher and writer alike.
