Christ Everything, by John Thomas Mawson,
In thinking over the Scripture, “as ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him; rooted and built up in Him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving” (Colossians 2:6-7), I was carried back in thought to my own real start…

Christ Entering His Glory, by John Thomas Mawson,
The Lord Jesus appears in Luke 24 as the risen Lord and Leader of His disciples, gathering them and binding them together in one object and purpose, and instructing them as to the divine plan of campaign for the carrying of the grace of God to earth’s remotest bounds. “He is Risen”…

Christ and the Church, Second Article, by John Thomas Mawson,
“Christ never fails, and there cannot be a want in Christ’s church without there being an answer to it in Christ’s heart” (J.N.Darby). We know that that must be true, but it is both comforting and assuring to have it so clearly told “Christ loved the church and gave Himself…

Christ and His Church, by John Thomas Mawson,
Introductory Before the lips of our Lord first uttered those two words, “My church,” words which impress us with the preciousness of the church to Him as being His own peculiar possession, He asked His disciples, “Whom do ye say that I am?” Peter answered at once “Thou art the…
-
“Certain Women”, by John Thomas Mawson,
Some of the women whose acts and words are recorded in the Old Testament story far outshone the men in wisdom and faith and courage, and they have their place in the Record for our learning. There was Jochebed, the wife of Amram, who entrusted her child in the ark…

Caught Up, by John Thomas Mawson,
“The Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shoot, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the…

Casting the Blame upon God, by John Thomas Mawson,
A little fellow had set his heart upon having a pocket-knife, and pestered his parents about it so persistently that at last they yielded and allowed him to have his own way, and spend his shilling upon the coveted treasure. It was not long before he had cut his fingers…
-
“Carest Thou Not?”, by John Thomas Mawson,
When the disciples launched forth upon the sea of Galilee on that evening of which three of the Gospels tell, they needed but little faith to put their Master into the helmsman’s seat and commit the steering of the ship to Him, for the wind was fair and the sea…
-
“Care for the Saints”, by John Thomas Mawson,
I had made my plans for the day, which would have taken me out of the town where I was staying. But on my way to the Railway Station I felt an inward urge to visit an aged servant of the Lord just entering on his 89th year who lived…

By the Skin of his Teeth, by John Thomas Mawson,
A young man of our acquaintance who had lived a careless life was lying extremely ill. One night he dreamt that he was in a room filled with the most beautiful specimens of woodcarving. Now wood-carving had been a special hobby of his, and, in consequence, he examined these works…
-
“Business as Usual”, by John Thomas Mawson,
To Workers amongst the Young It has been suggested that “Business as usual” should be adopted as the motto of all commercial houses throughout the British Isles during the great war. I suggest that that will make a good motto for all who serve the Lord, and especially for those…

“Bring me a Minstrel”, by John Thomas Mawson,
A Word to Christians whose Lives are out of Tune Three kings: the heathen Edomite, the apostate Jehoram, and the godly Jehoshaphat; a strange alliance this — an alliance that pleased the devil well, but that grieved the God of Judah to the heart. No wonder that disaster, swift and…
-
Brethren Dwelling Together in Unity, by John Thomas Mawson,
An Address on Psalm 133 I would call your attention to the fact that when we take up the Scriptures to read them, we are not reading the words of men, no matter how good or wise, but we are reading the words of God. That is a fact acknowledged by…

“Born of Water and of the Spirit”, by John Thomas Mawson,
“Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say to thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God” (John 3:5). A statement so momentous to every one of us as this is will be best understood by being considered in the…

Blowing the Silver Trumpets, by John Thomas Mawson,
A Message for the New Year “Poor and feeble though we be, Saviour, we belong to Thee!Thine we are, Thou Son of God, Thine, the purchase of Thy blood.” “And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Make thee two trumpets of silver: of a whole piece shalt thou make them”…
-
Blinding, Beguiling, Buffeting, by John Thomas Mawson,
An Address on the work of Satan, and how he is beaten (2 Corinthians 4:3 to 7; 11:1 to 3, 14 and 15; 12:7 to 9) We have in this epistle a sort of autobiography of the Apostle Paul, and I think if you read it from that point of view you will…
-
Blessed be God, by John Thomas Mawson,
A man with an experience has something to say, and what he says is worth listening to. Such a man as this was Paul. What a life was his! He tells us about it in his second Epistle to the Church at Corinth. He speaks of his tribulation, of being…
-
Bitter Waters, by John Thomas Mawson,
“And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter” (Exodus 15:23). It was not in Egypt that the sons of Jacob had to taste the bitter waters. There they groaned in a BITTER BONDAGE, which typifies the awful tyranny from…
-
Bitterness and Joy, by John Thomas Mawson,
“The heart knows his own bitterness; and a stranger doth not intermeddle with his joy” (Proverbs 14:10). “The heart knows his own bitterness.” There is one heart that fits into that sentence; it is the heart that was broken by reproach; that was melted in the hot furnace of deepest…

“Be Ye Enlarged”, by John Thomas Mawson,
“Ye shall receive power, after the Holy Ghost is come upon you; and YE SHALL BE WITNESSES UNTO ME … unto the uttermost part of the earth.” Many a time we must have marvelled at the favour shown to those eleven Galileans to whom the Lord Jesus showed Himself after…
