Diversity and Unity. By C. H. Mackintosh

“The dew of Hermon,” Psalm 133, by C. H. Mackintosh
The expression “the dew of Hermon” has, it seems, long proved “a geographical puzzle” to some. But to one who has the mind of Christ it is no puzzle, but a most striking and beautiful figure. Hermon is the very loftiest peak in all the land of Palestine, and from…

David’s Companions and Paul’s Friends, by C. H. Mackintosh

The Life and Times of Elijah. Part 2 of 2. By C. H. Mackintosh
Part 5 THE PROPHET ON MOUNT HOREB There are few who have taken a prominent place in the history of the Church of God whose course has not been marked, in a special manner, by vicissitude: of such, as of “those that go down to the sea in ships, that…

The Life and Times of David. — the life of faith. Part 2 of 2 By C. H. Mackintosh
Part 5. ZIKLAG. In dwelling upon a history such as that now before us, which manifestly presents much failure and infirmity, it is well for us to keep in memory what we ourselves are, lest we be found pointing out the lapses of others in a spirit of self-complacency. The…

The Life and Times of David. Part 1 of 2 By C. H. Mackintosh
Preface. In presenting to the Christian reader the following little work on “The Life and Times of David, King of Israel,” I feel that there is but little demand for prefatory remarks.

The Call of God — Abraham and Lot. By C. H. Mackintosh
Genesis 12.

Revelation 1:5-7.

Christian perfection: What is it? By C. H. Mackintosh
