Divine Attributes

The abundance of uncreated good ,which shall be enjoyed by the people of God appears, from the variety and infinity of the Divine attributes:- particularly those which respect creatures, and which are displayed about creatures ; such as the wisdon ,power , holiness , justice , and love of God ;- for , although we may make an enumeration of those attributes , still there is reason to believe , that it is only a specimen of them that are known to us .  It is only a specimen of the relative perfections of God , which is known to  the children of men ; and even in regard to these , there is an infinity, which astonishes those who are enlightened , in any measure ,to apprehend them , as they are manifested in his works . How amazing is that Divine wisdom and omniscience , whereby  this world was made , and "known from the beginning ;"whereby God beholds it all at once ;looking into the deep recesses of it ; penetrating the skies ; and seeing all his creatures as if only one individual were to be contemplated !How great is that wisdom , which penetrates into the substance of every creature! How great is the power of God ,in giving existence to the whole system of the visible creation , and by which he is able to annihilate it in a moment . !And further , if we look into the spiritual kingdom of God , how wonderful is that holiness and justice which is manifested in the law of God ! this appears in the authority and strictness with which the demands of thhe law are made;-in the greatness of the good promised as the reward of obedience ;-and in the amazing extent of that evil which is threatened in in the case of disobedience . If we consider , but for a little , the eternity of that punishment which is due for one single offence against the law of God ; we may see his fixed aversion to , and hatred of , all iniquity.
And if we consider these things farther , as regards the covenant  of grace ; how amiable is the aspect of the holiness and justice of God ; in connection with his love , goodness , and condescension , as manifested therein .

Muckle Kate Not a very ordinary name! But then, Muckle Kate, or Big Kate, or Kate-Mhor, or Kate of Lochcarron was not a very ordinary woman! The actual day of her salvation is difficult to trace to its sunrising, but being such a glorious day as it was, we simply wish to relate something of what shone forth in the redeemed life of that "ill-looking woman without any beauty in the sight of God or man." Muckle Kate was born and lived in Lochcarron in the county of Ross-shire. By the time she had lived her life to its eighty-fifth year she had well-earned the reputation of having committed every known sin against the Law of God with the exception murder. Speaking after the manner of men, if it took "Grace Abounding" to save a hardened sinner like John Bunyan, it was going to take "Grace Much More Abounding" to save Muckle Kate. However, Grace is Sovereign and cannot be thwarted when God sends it on the errand of salvation, and even the method used in bri

  Severance from Christ is death   to the Church. A Christless Church is a headless trunk. We may retain the doctrine and ethic of the New Testament, but, nevertheless, amputation of the Head means death. Even a partial severance of connection involves paraylsis - loss of spiritual power and loss of spiritual feeling. II.  INTERNALLY, THE CHURCH IS THE FULLNESS OF CHRIST. It is filled with Christ. He is not only the Head above it; he is the life within it. He does not only teach, bless, command, and lead from without; he inspires his people and lives in his Church. Christ fills " all  in all;"  i.e.  the Spirit that was in Jesus of Nazareth is in the whole universe, inspiring all creation and all providence with wisdom and goodness, purity and grace. The same Spirit is in the Church. As yet, unhappily, the Church is not filled with Christ. Though Christ is received into the heart of Christians, every door within is not yet flung open to the gracious Guest. But in the perfect

Church discipline

Once from the pulpit, at an ordination of elders, the late Rev. M. M'Cheyne made the following declaration. "When I first entered upon the work of the ministry among you, I was exceedingly ignorant of the vast importance of church discipline. I thought that my great, and almost only, work was to pray and preach. I saw your souls to be so precious, and the time so short, that I devoted all my time and care and strength to labour in word and doctrine. When cases of discipline were brought before me and the elders, I regarded them with something like abhorrence. It was a duty I shrank from; and I may truly say it nearly drove me from the work of the ministry among you altogether. But it pleased God, who teaches His servants in another way than man teaches, to bless some of the cases of discipline to the manifest and undeniable conversion of the souls of those under our care; and from that hour a new light broke in upon my mind, and I saw that if preaching be an ordinance of Chri
