“Beside the Still Waters”, by John Thomas Mawson,
“He leads me beside the still waters” (Psalm 23). The souls of men are restless, sin has made them so, for “the wicked are like the troubled sea when it cannot rest.” But the Good Shepherd calls His sheep from their restless wandering and unsatisfied and self-willed straying and brings…

“Beloved of God”, by John Thomas Mawson,
“In Rome, beloved of God” (Romans 1:7).“The love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us” (Romans 5:5). “For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, not angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor…

Believing and Confessing, by John Thomas Mawson,
“I’m saved tonight, sir,” said a lad to me some time since, as he left one of our Gospel meetings. “How do you know?” I asked. “It was the word you spoke, sir,” was his prompt reply. “What was the word?” “It was from Romans 10:9, Thou shalt be saved IF…

Behold the Bridegroom, by John Thomas Mawson,
“They that were ready went in with Him to the marriage: and the door was shut” (Matthew 25:10). Who can deny that the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ is one of the chief themes of the Bible? Not those certainly who study its pages. However much they may differ…

Address given at Bangor, N. Wales, at a Conference for the help of younger Christians, 1933 “And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from…

“Be careful for nothing”, by John Thomas Mawson,
Careful about nothing, and prayerful and thankful in everything, is the true attitude of those who know God, towards circumstances in this world; and what a life of blessed contentment and peace would this condition of things yield. But it is not natural to any one of us to be…

Beauty For Ashes, by John Thomas Mawson,
The Phoenix of mythology was said to rise up out of its own ashes and soar away to the heavens with renewed youth and plumage of scarlet and gold; but the truth is more wonderful than the fable, as we shall see. The first verse of our chapter describes the…

Bearing Much Fruit, by John Thomas Mawson,
“Ye have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it you” (John 15:16). Every Christian heart desires to…

Atonement and the New Theology, by John Thomas Mawson,
The Question is asked, “What is the difference between the New Testament Teaching as to Atonement, and the views of the New Theology Leaders?“ The sheerly anti-Christian character of the “New Theology” has often been exposed, and there would be no call to answer this question were it not that…
-
At His Feet, by John Thomas Mawson,
To be at the feet of Jesus is to be in the most blessed spot in God’s universe; it is there that every problem is solved, and every question settled; whether the questions be of sin, sorrow, self, or service; there is no place like this for the guilt-laden sinner;…
-
Assurance and Protection, by John Thomas Mawson,
Uncertainty as to the future, and discontent with present conditions are the chief features of the world as we know it; and it is not pessimism but the truth that says, no man or group of men, no party, nations or league of nations has any practical remedy for things as they…
-
“Armageddon” and “Universal Peace”, by John Thomas Mawson,
No, this is not Armageddon, nor will universal peace follow upon the conclusion of this most terrible war in the world’s history. Some who direct the thought of the nations have stated that this latter will be the blessing that will issue from the conflict, that humanity, staggered by the…

“A Reproach upon All Israel”, by John Thomas Mawson,
Samuel’s Farewell Address And Samuel said to all Israel, “Behold, I have obeyed your voice in all that you have said to me and have made a king over you. And now, behold, the king walks before you, and I am old and gray; and behold, my sons are with you. I have walked before…

A Publican Named Levi, by John Thomas Mawson,

A Priceless Gem in a Golden Setting, by John Thomas Mawson,
A Sunday Evening Address “This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief” (1 Timothy 1:15). There could be no simpler statement of the gospel than that, and for that reason I have chosen…
-
Andrew and Philip, by John Thomas Mawson,
It is a blessed thing to know that the Lord Jesus Christ has settled the question of our sins so that we can say without a doubt, “We have peace with God.” But it is quite another matter to make His acquaintance personally. We may receive the blessing of forgiveness…
-
And Peter, by John Thomas Mawson,
Notes of an address “But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goes before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said to you” (Mark 16:7). Why should the young man clothed in white who sat in Jesus’ empty tomb have been so interested…

And in the Garden a Sepulchre, by John Thomas Mawson,
“Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. There laid they JESUS” (John 19:41). A garden! We all like a garden; it means to us the fair sunlight or the restful shade; it…

An Assembly of God, by J T Mawson
We have been asked to say something on what constitutes “An assembly of God.” We answer with these brief notes on the subject which we trust will be helpful. We use the word Assembly instead of Church. The first thing without which all else is invalid must be the recognition…

An All-Sufficient Object for the Heart, by John Thomas Mawson,
An address on Jesus Coming, Walking, Dwelling “The next day John sees Jesus coming to him, and says, Behold the Lamb of God, which takes away the sin of the world. This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man which is preferred before me: for he…
