Revelation, Experience, Practice, by John Thomas Mawson,
It is my purpose to address my younger brethren and sisters in Christ in view of the rapidly rising apostasy in Christendom. I know that I shall be looked upon as a pessimist when I say that evil omens are crowding around us. Not long ago, in conversation with a…

Repentance, by John Thomas Mawson,
“For godly sorrow works repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world works death” (2 Corinthians 7:10). There are two kinds of sorrow for sin, one is the abhorrence of the thing itself, and this will be very keen in the heart that fears…

Remember—Repent, by John Thomas Mawson,
Our experience confirms what the Scriptures clearly indicate, that our tendency is to drift away from the truth. It has been so from the very beginning and we are no better than our forerunners in the faith. The Hebrew Christians were warned to give earnest heed to what they had…

“Rejoice and be Exceeding Glad”, by John Thomas Mawson,
We had the pleasure, a few days ago, of calling to see an aged Child of God, a farmer, living in an out-of-the-way and wild part of Northumberland. He was in a feeble state of health and confined to his bedroom, where we spent, to us, a very refreshing half-hour.…

Recovery, by John Thomas Mawson,
“Backslider!” What an ugly word is this! So ugly that it is usually reserved by us for those who have openly and flagrantly turned back to the world from Christ, but the fact is that the great bulk of Christians are backsliders. Every one of us who ever knew a…

Readings on Psalm 23, by John Thomas Mawson,
A Paean of Faith: “The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want” (verse 1) P. V. W. Appropriately the translators of our English Bible labelled this psalm “David’s confidence in God.” God’s grace it was that relieved us of the burden of sin; it supports us all along our…

“Quit you Like Men, be Strong”, by John Thomas Mawson,

Questions of Interest – Revival, by John Thomas Mawson,
Is there any reason why we should, or any good reason why we should not, expect a world-wide revival before the end of the present age? May we expect a worldwide revival before the coming of the Lord? Huge, enthusiastic conventions have answered this question with a vociferous “Yes!” and…

Purification for Sin, by John Thomas Mawson,
Notes of a Bible Reading in Melbourne on Numbers 19 In order to get the full significance of this type, which is one of the most important in the Old Testament, let us notice in verse 4, “the tabernacle of the congregation“; in verse 9, “the congregation of the children of…

Profit and Loss, by John Thomas Mawson,
John 1:29-42 As a rule men do not care to make any change unless for the better. “Will it pay?” is the great question. And who can blame them? Now, if the reader is unconverted, I call upon him, to make one of the greatest changes that can be made,…

Prevailing Prayer (Articles 1 & 2), by John Thomas Mawson,

Preserved and Perfected by the God of Peace and Power, by John Thomas Mawson,
We feel constrained to begin the year with a benediction, and it shall be one of the most beautiful and confidence-producing that the Holy Scriptures contain: — “Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood…

Press On, by John Thomas Mawson,

Present Wealth and Future Glory, by John Thomas Mawson,
He would be a foolish man who spent his time looking into an empty purse full of holes and bemoaning his poverty when there was offered to him a bag of bank notes with the invitation to take all that he needed and more. But not less foolish is he…
