Miscellaneous Writings, Book 3, By C. H. Mackintosh, 11 Papers On The Lord’s Coming. 2
THE FACT ITSELF In approaching this most glorious subject, we feel that we cannot do better than to lay before the reader the distinct testimony of holy Scripture to the broad fact itself, that our Lord Jesus Christ will come again — that He will leave the place which He…

Miscellaneous Writings, Book 3, By C. H. Mackintosh, 11 Papers On The Lord’s Coming. 1
INTRODUCTORY The attentive reader of the New Testament will find in its pages three solemn and weighty facts presented to his view; namely, first, that the Son of God has come into this world and gone away; secondly, that the Holy Ghost has come down to this earth, and is…

Miscellaneous Writings, Book 3, By C. H. Mackintosh, Evangelization — A word to the Evangelist. Letter 7 of 7
Through want of space I was obliged to close my last letter without even touching upon the subject of the Sunday-school: I must, however, devote a page or two to a branch of work which has occupied a very large place in my heart for thirty years. I should deem…

Miscellaneous Writings, Book 3, By C. H. Mackintosh, Evangelization — A word to the Evangelist. Letter 6 of 7
I have, in some of the earlier letters of this series, dwelt upon the unspeakable importance of keeping up with zeal and constancy, a faithful preaching of the gospel — a distinct work of evangelization, carried on in the energy of love to precious souls, and with direct reference to…

Miscellaneous Writings, Book 3, By C. H. Mackintosh, Evangelization — A word to the Evangelist. Letter 5 of 7
It seems as though I must once more take up my pen to address you on certain matters connected with the work of evangelisation, which have forced themselves upon my attention for some time past. There are three distinct branches of the work which I long to see occupying a…

Miscellaneous Writings, Book 3, By C. H. Mackintosh, Evangelization — A word to the Evangelist. Letter 4 of 7
When I took up my pen to address you in my first letter, I had no idea that I should have occasion to extend the series to a fourth. However, the subject is one of intense interest to me; and there are just two or three points further on which…

Miscellaneous Writings, Book 3, By C. H. Mackintosh, Evangelization — A word to the Evangelist. Letter 3 of 7
There is another point which stands intimately connected with the subject of my last letter, and that is, the place the Word of God occupies in the work of evangelization. In my last letter, as you will remember, I referred to the work of the Holy Ghost, and the immense…

Miscellaneous Writings, Book 3, By C. H. Mackintosh, Evangelization — A word to the Evangelist. Letter 2 of 7
There is one point in connection with our subject which has much occupied my mind; and that is, the immense importance of cultivating an earnest faith in the presence and action of the Holy Ghost. We want to remember, at all times, that we can do nothing, and that God…

Miscellaneous Writings, Book 3, By C. H. Mackintosh, Evangelization — A word to the Evangelist. Letter 1 of 7
LETTERS TO AN EVANGELIST Letter 1 Dearest A, I have been much interested and I trust profited, of late, by tracing through the Gospels and the Acts, the various notices of the work of evangelization; and it has occurred to me that it may not be amiss to present to…

Miscellaneous Writings, Book 3, By C. H. Mackintosh, Evangelization — A word to the Evangelist. Introduction
We trust it may not be deemed out of place if we venture to offer a word of counsel and encouragement to all who have been and are engaged in the blessed work of preaching the gospel of the grace of God. See note. We are, in some measure, aware of…

Miscellaneous Writings, Book 3, By C. H. Mackintosh, Conversion: What is it? Part 8 of 8
Part 8 — To wait for the Son of God from the heavens The last words of our chapter — 1 Thess. 1 — now claim our attention. They furnish a very striking and forcible proof of the clearness, fullness, depth and comprehensiveness of the apostle’s testimony at Thessalonica, and also…

Miscellaneous Writings, Book 3, By C. H. Mackintosh, Conversion: What is it? Part 7 of 8
Part 7 — Serve the living and true God We are now called to consider a deeply practical point in our subject. It is contained in the clause, “To serve the living and true God.” This is full of interest to every truly converted soul, every true Christian. We are called “to serve.”…

Miscellaneous Writings, Book 3, By C. H. Mackintosh, Conversion: What is it? Part 6 of 8
Part 6 — Find all resources in God The more we dwell on 1 Thessalonians 1:9, the more we are struck with its marvellous depth, fullness, and power. It seems like sinking a shaft into an inexhaustible mine. We have dwelt a little on that very fruitful and suggestive clause, “Turned to God…

Miscellaneous Writings, Book 3, By C. H. Mackintosh, Conversion: What is it? Part 5 of 8
Part 5 — Brought to God We are now called to consider what we may term the positive side of the great subject of conversion. We have seen that it is a turning from idols — a turning from all those objects which ruled our hearts and engaged our affections — the vanities…

Miscellaneous Writings, Book 3, By C. H. Mackintosh, Conversion: What is it? Part 4 of 8
Part 4 — The nature of conversion The last two verses of our chapter (1 Thessalonians 1) demand our very special attention. They furnish a remarkable statement of the real nature of conversion. They show, very distinctly, the depth, clearness, fullness, and reality of the work of God’s Spirit in those…

Miscellaneous Writings, Book 3, By C. H. Mackintosh, Conversion: What is it? Part 3 of 8
Part 3 — What this conversion is Having thus far seen the absolute necessity, in every case, of conversion, and having, in some measure, sought to point out what conversion is not, we have now to inquire what it is. And here we must keep close to the veritable teaching of holy Scripture. We can…

Miscellaneous Writings, Book 3, By C. H. Mackintosh, Conversion: What is it? Part 2 of 8
Part 2 — What this conversion is not In our previous paper, we have sought to set forth the absolute need, in every case, of conversion. Scripture establishes this point in such a way as to leave no possible ground of doubt for anyone who bows to its holy authority. “Except…

Miscellaneous Writings, Book 3, By C. H. Mackintosh, Conversion: What is it? Part 1 of 8
Part 1 — The need of conversion 1 Thessalonians 1 presents a very striking and beautiful picture of what we may truly call genuine conversion. We propose to study the picture in company with the reader. If we are not much mistaken, we shall find the study at once interesting and profitable. It will…

The Substance of a Lecture on Luke 12. “While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:18. The principles of truth laid down…

Miscellaneous Writings, Book 2, By C. H. Mackintosh, “Thou and thy house.”
Preface. Nothing can be more truly beneficial for the soul than to be brought under the searching power of the word of God, — to have our treacherous hearts examined by its sure light, and all our ways fairly tested by its holy precepts. “The law of the Lord is…
