Job and His Friends. By C. H. Mackintosh.
The book of Job occupies a very peculiar place in the volume of God. It possesses character entirely its own, and teaches lessons which are not to be learnt in any other section of inspiration. It is not by any means our purpose to enter upon a line of argument…

Gideon and his companions.Judges 6 to 8. By C. H. Mackintosh
PART 1. In studying the history of the nation of Israel, we notice two distinct eras, namely, the era of unity, and the era of individuality — the period in the which the twelve tribes acted as one man, and the period in the which one man was called to act for the…

Forgiveness of sins: What is it? By C. H. Mackintosh.
“Oh! the blessedness; transgression forgiven; sin covered.” This truly is blessedness, and without this, blessedness must be unknown. To have the full assurance that my sins are all forgiven, is the only foundation of true happiness. To be happy without this, is to be happy on the brink of a…

Discipleship in an evil day. “Follow thou me.” John 21:22. C. H. Mackintosh.
Preface. The following Tract is a reprint of a paper which appeared in a recent number of “The Present Testimony,” containing the substance of a Lecture on the first three chapters of the Book of Daniel. It is published in this form, at the request of a number of Christian…

The Ministry of the Spirit. By C. H. Mackintosh.
I desire to call the attention of the Christian reader to a glorious truth, plainly revealed in the pages of the New Testament, but sadly lost sight of in the professing church. I refer to the presence of the Holy Spirit on the earth. For more than eighteen centuries there…

The Ministry of Christ Past, Present, and Future. Exodus 21:1 to 6; John 13:1 to 10; Luke 12:37. By C. H. Mackintosh.
“For even the son of man came not to be ministered to, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many” (Mark 10:45). It is very necessary to retire from all thoughts about our service to the Lord, and our work for Him, and to have our…

God’s Way, and How to Find it. Job 28; Luke 11:34 to 36. By C. H. Mackintosh
“There is a path which no fowl knows, and which the vulture’s eye has not seen: the lion’s whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.” What an unspeakable mercy for one who really desires to walk with God, to know that there is a way…

Words of Counsel. By C. H. Mackintosh.
Prefatory Note. The following little paper was never intended for publication. It was written expressly and exclusively, for two very dear and valued friends. A brother whom I greatly love and esteem, happening to see it, urged me to give it to him, with a view to publication. I demurred;…

Christianity — What is it? By C. H. Mackintosh
Philippians 3. (adapted from Things New and Old volume 5, 1862, page 161.) We have endeavoured to hold up the Bible as the church’s supreme and all-sufficient guide, in all ages, in all climes, and under all circumstances. We now desire to hold up Christianity in its divine beauty and…

The Bible — Its Sufficiency and Supremacy. C. H. Mackintosh.
Some, we are aware, would fain persuade us that things are so totally changed since the Bible was penned, that we need other guidance than that which its precious pages supply. They tell us that society is not what it was; that the human race has made progress; that there…

The Word of Christ as the All-Sufficient Guide for Our Path If the reader has been enabled, through grace, to make his own of what has passed before our minds in this series of papers, he will have a perfect remedy for all uneasiness of conscience and all restlessness of…

The All-sufficiency of Christ. By CHM. Part 4 of 5
Christ as an Object for the Heart Having, in the three preceding papers of this series, sought to unfold the grand foundation truths connected with the work of Christ for us — His work in the past, and His work in the present — His atonement, and His advocacy; we…
-
The All-sufficiency of Christ. By CHM. Part 3 of 5
The Present Work of Christ for Us From what has already passed before us, we learn that the grand result of the work of Christ in the past is to give us a divinely perfect standing before God. “He has perfected for ever them that are sanctified.” He has introduced…

The All-sufficiency of Christ. By CHM. Part 2 of 5
Entire Deliverance from the Present Power of Sin Thus far, we have been occupied with that aspect of the work of Christ which bears upon the question of the forgiveness of sins; and we earnestly trust that the reader is thoroughly clear and settled on this grand point. It is…

The All-sufficiency of Christ. By CHM. Part 1 of 5
The Work of Christ as the Only Resting Place for the Conscience When once the soul has been brought to feel the reality of its condition before God, the depth of its ruin, guilt, and misery, its utter and hopeless bankruptcy, there can be no rest until the Holy Spirit…
