The true source of spiritual nutrition to gain truth and life! A classic from one of the finest Christian writers of the twentieth century. " There is grave reason to believe that much Bible reading and Bible study of the last few years has been of no spiritual profit to those who engaged in it. Yes, we go further; we greatly fear that in many instances it has proved a curse rather than a blessing. This is strong language, we are well aware, yet no stronger than the case calls for. Divine gifts may be misused, and Divine mercies abused. That this has been so in the present instance is evident by the fruits produced. Even the natural man may (and often does) take up the study of the Scriptures with the same enthusiasm and pleasure as he might of the sciences. Where this is the case, his store of knowledge is increased, and so also is his pride. Like a chemist engaged in making interesting experiments, the intellectual searcher of the Word is quite elated when he makes some discovery in it; but the joy of the latter is no more spiritual than would be that of the former. Again, just as the successes of the chemist generally increase his sense of self-importance and cause him to look with disdain upon others more ignorant than himself, so alas, is it often the case with those who have investigated Bible numerics, typology, prophecy and other such subjects. "The Word of God may be taken up from various motives. Some read it to satisfy their literary pride. In certain circles it has become both the respectable and popular thing to obtain a general acquaintance with the contents of the Bible simply because it is regarded as an educational defect to be ignorant of them. Some read it to satisfy their sense of curiosity, as they might any other book of note. Others read it to satisfy their sectarian pride. They consider it a duty to be well versed in the particular tenets of their own denomination and so search eagerly for proof-texts in support of "our doctrines." Yet others read it for the purpose of being able to argue successfully with those who differ from them. But in all this there is no thought of God, no yearning for spiritual edification, and therefore no real benefit to the soul. Of what, then, does a true profiting from the Word consist? Does not 2 Timothy 3:16,17 furnish a clear answer to our question? There we read, "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works." Observe what is here omitted: the Holy Scriptures are given us not for intellectual gratification and carnal speculation, but to furnish unto "all good works," and that by teaching, reproving, correcting us. Let us endeavor to amplify this by the help of other passages." CONTENTS: 1. THE SCRIPTURES AND SIN 2. THE SCRIPTURES AND GOD 3. THE SCRIPTURES AND CHRIST 4. THE SCRIPTURES AND PRAYER 5. THE SCRIPTURES AND GOOD WORKS 6. THE SCRIPTURES AND OBEDIENCE 7. THE SCRIPTURES AND THE WORLD 8. THE SCRIPTURES AND THE PROMISES 9. THE SCRIPTURES AND JOY 10. THE SCRIPTURES AND LOVE Arguably Arthur Pink's finest book, Profiting from The Word demonstrates the nourishing and life supporting effect of Bible reading (rightly done) on the believer's attitude to sin, God, prayer, good works, obedience, the world, the promises, joy and love. It's a clear, stirring treatise for all readers, and will prove excellent for group study. Especially recommended for young believers.

The philosophical strength of Christianity resides in its claim to Truth. The theological strength of Christianity resides in its identification of that Truth. Its metaphysical strength resides in its clarification of that Truth while its social strength is found in its call to existential relationship with that Truth

Arthur Walkington Pink was an English Christian evangelist and Biblical scholar known for his staunchly Calvinist and Puritan-like teachings. Though born to Christian parents, prior to conversion he migrated into a Theosophical society (an occult gnostic group popular in England during that time), and quickly rose in prominence within their ranks. His conversion came from his father's patient admonitions from Scripture. It was the verse, Proverbs 14:12, 'there is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death, ' which particularly struck his heart and compelled him to renounce Theosophy and follow Jesus.

CHAPTER SEVEN THE SPIRIT OF LOVE Romans 5:5b 5...because THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS(SPIRITS) BY THE HOLY GHOST which is given unto us. 2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us THE SPIRIT of fear; but of power, and OF LOVE, and of a sound mind. One of the reasons love is rarely practiced as it should be is the lack of understanding. The believer needs to understand and be equipped to walk in love. Love is the spirit of victory and triumph. THE LOVE OF GOD IS SHED ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS (SPIRITS) BY THE HOLY GHOST. Love is a spirit. And we are already furnished with the spirit of love. We also know this from 2 Timothy 1:7. Believers have the love nature directly from God by the Holy Ghost. No effort is needed to have love. We do not grow in love, but we grow in our love walk. Love is a nature that we mature in. Love brings spiritual results, which we call rest in this book. Selfish love brings physical results. Spiritual results override physical results and never fail. 1 Corinthians 13 teaches us more about the divine kind of love. Love is a force that overcomes emotional and physical pressures from the flesh. Sometimes, the sight of challenges looks so scary and frightening from the viewpoint of the flesh. Selfish love is never an option in such cases. This is the challenge faced with symptoms of sickness and forces of darkness around us, yet we believe God by His word. How can we put on a look of love when challenges show up? Well, most people will be so upset when we say lack of love is the cause of their challenges. Walking in love is the answer, too. The spirit of love is an enablement to our weak flesh. It is a spirit that refuses to be mad at everyone because you are sick. Love is a spirit that prepares you for miracles and wonders. Love without patience is the same as love in the world. This patience means acting in faith, that what you desire, you shall touch, because you walk in divine love. We can initiate love consciously sometimes, to overcome the desire of the flesh. LOVE IS A TRANSMITTER OF SPIRITUAL THINGS Love is our transmitter to Heavenly realms, and a receiver on Earth. With our spirit, the future is known. This knowledge prepares us in advance to love. Notice in John 16:13 that it is our privilege to know things in advance. John 14:26 tell us that we can also know the past. Now, if you have this ability, you can ascend physical things from its source – the spiritual realm. Everything physical has a spiritual source. You need love to ascend Heavenly realities; love is our transmitter between Heaven and Earth. You see, in trials on Earth, God's love is shed abroad in our hearts. Love unlocks the mysteries of life and provides answers to both spiritual and human questions. Love was a spiritual reality to Christ on Earth. We can now justify that by love, Jesus' forgiveness to others was normal, though abnormal to the world. He knew the end even before it came. During Jesus' trial and crucifixion, love had come to rest in His heart, more than any time on Earth. Love was there to overcome enmity, pains, betrayal and denial. When challenges become daunting, the amount of love in our hearts becomes greater. Love is internally regulated and responsive to our needs. Being led by the spirit is to be led by love. Since God is love, we are one with Him through love. Love has a magnetic force that pulls everyone around Him. That power echoes in John 12:32 when Jesus said: John 12:32 "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all [men] unto me." the spirit of love in a man is a magnet. Christ's resurrection saw the climax of love's power on Earth. It was love behind that great force of ascension that joined Christ in body, soul and spirit with the Father. Our love is the only reason why men and women shall come to our rising. It is the magnet of all other forces in the world. Love plays host to faith, power, joy, rest and wisdom. When love endures, it always comes to pass. Love is patient and never fails. Love is the window of the recreated spirit of God's man. Christ-like love will guide you to THE REALM OF REST. Don't stop loving. Don't be discouraged, you will get there if you remain patient. With love, we know that Heaven is certain, though we walk on Earth. Such a spiritual concept has been given very little spiritual revelation. In some cases, I have been asked why people who love always get stabbed in return. Then you did not love; you may have been stabbed because you were selfish and hoped for a certain reward. That is not love. Get your love walk straight. Love sits on the throne that judges the world. He sits on the throne of possibility. He is the miraculous. Love does not value bread as much as it values feeding the hungry. It does not expect man to reward him; it expects God to. Love does not reciprocate between the same people. Love is love. Love is all sufficient and always satisfied. John 13:34-35 34A new commandment I give to you, That you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. 35BY THIS SHALL ALL MEN KNOW THAT YOU ARE MY DISCIPLES, if you have love one to another. By love, all men shall know that you are Christ's disciples. Love graduates to greater revelation and truth from God. Divine love is God's light in the world. The spirit of wisdom comes from love. At the same time, it is what makes a man prosperous. Love is the fountain of spiritual gifts. Wisdom and revelation come from love. That is reflected in Paul's prayers to the saints below. Ephesians 1:15-17 15Wherefore I also, after I heard of your FAITH in the Lord Jesus, and LOVE unto all the saints, 16Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the SPIRIT OF WISDOM and REVELATION in the knowledge of him. Love walk suffers when we don't know why we love. Even when we get to know, we must grow in the knowledge of it. What can make us love as Christ is, growing in the knowledge of God's love nature. We must know that love is our nature from God and its reward is also from God, not man. When I encounter challenging personalities, so I do not journey out of love, I always imagine myself in the spiritual realm, reigning with love. I can easily tolerate and be patient over anything, because in the spiritual realm, I know the outcome. You are always right when you are in love. Love is equal to nothing on Earth – love is God. Philippians 2:3 Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Romans 12:9 Let your love be perfectly sincere. Regard with horror what is evil; cling to what is right. Perfect love casts our fear. It is the source of pleasure and joy. Love is above all things. 1 John 4:18 THERE IS NO FEAR IN LOVE; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear hath torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love. At rest, love is the king. When love becomes mature, we walk the supernatural. The Holy Spirit and your spirit unite in love. Love is the image and likeness of God in His man. What makes us supermen and women on Earth is love – when love comes in, we are complete. Divine love brings God's effect in man. 1 John 4:12 12 No one has ever seen God; but if you love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. One would be surprised if God was not love, or if He was love and our love was tested by loving Him alone. When we love as God would, we know God. Notice that every man has the nature of God. However, this nature is locked in some and needs to be set free. Knowing the truth will make them free. Love is the way, the truth and the light. When we share the knowledge of God with others, we share the spirit of love. To know that you rest, you must walk in love. Our love is needed to unlock love in others. No doubt, love has been the most influential fact

"He who has ears let him hear." Jesus said those words many times. What did he mean? He also declared, "The truth will set you free." Which truth? Free from what? This book will tell you in no uncertain terms, a message to be stapled on the world's bulletin board for any who pass by, and in particular for those who have the "right ears." It is a thorough explanation of the astonishing freedom won by Christ for his elect and the devastating implications this has for all world religion and philosophy, especially Christianity. It will shatter the myths underpinning many long cherished beliefs and rock the Church to its foundations. Along with many other surprises you will discover that the word "church" is not even in the Bible! This investigation covers most aspects of the Church with special reference to its origin in early times: fathers, councils, creeds, buildings, names and titles, saints, priesthood and clergy, celibacy, ordination, confirmation, sacraments, tithes, sabbaths, festivals, gospels and media, assurance, second-coming and ecumenical beliefs. All these are weighed against Scripture, namely the teachings of Christ, the apostles and prophets, and found to be either non-existent, obsolete, not the same thing or quite the opposite! However, these concepts did not materialize from nothing; all came from someone, somewhere. The revelation of each source will be quite a shock for readers who thought they had a handle on the facts. Well-documented and researched but written in dynamic style, this presentation is often moving and alarming. This is the truth which sets free.

Time has sealed the reputation of Matthew Henry's classic commentary as a rich source of insight into God's word. Four centuries after its first publication, it remains one of the best-loved, most popular commentaries ever written. However, while its wisdom is timeless, the English language has changed much through the years. Words that meant one thing in Matthew Henry's day have taken on different meanings today. In addition, Henry's often wordy reflections are generations removed from the crisp style that communicates most effectively to contemporary readers. The Zondervan NIV Matthew Henry Commentary is a masterful response to these concerns. It delivers the heart and soul of Henry's incomparable writings in a style that is easy to read and understand. -Dr. Leslie Church's meticulous abridgment retains the essential content of the original work. - Easily misunderstood words have been replaced with modern ones while keeping Henry's style. - Use of the New International Version (NIV) instead of the King James Version makes this edition fully compatible with today's most widely used Bible translation. In one volume, here is a wealth of exposition, metaphors, analogies, and illustrations, ideal for - Personal devotions - Bible study - Sermon and lesson preparation

In this treatise, Egerton demonstrates the Christian’s duty in hearing the word of God preached. In the first chapter he shows what it means to “take heed” in hearing the word following what Christ said, “Take heed therefore how ye hear,” (Luke 8:18). Then, he gives general duties in chapter 2 in relationship to preparations that ought to be made before coming to hear the sermon. Chapter 3 deals with what the hearer ought to do while hearing the sermon. And chapter 4 deals with the duties of the Christian after the sermon. Egerton takes a simplistic and manageable approach to teaching Christians what is required by Christ in hearing the Word of God preached. He is quite comprehensive to remind the believer of the most important aspects of the truth in his doctrine as it relates to the preached word. Egerton has a vivid, masterful grasp of his matter, and dissects the doctrine of hearing the word preached in a catechistic manner through questions and thorough answers. Since God is speaking to the Christian in the preached word by all true ministers, that the minister’s mouth is God’s mouth in the act of preaching, one would do quite well to heed Rev. Egerton’s application of Christ’s exhortations to hear what God is saying to us rightly, biblically, and for the good of our souls. This work is not a scan or facsimile, has been carefully transcribed by hand being made easy to read in modern English, and has an active table of contents for electronic versions.
