The infidel may reject, with scorn, the contents of the first three chapters of Genesis but, in so doing, he casts away the only key which unlocks to us the meaning of human history, the only explanation which rationally accounts for the course of human affairs. If it be true that man was made by [...]

The Necessity of Repentance
Posted in Arthur W. Pink on September 2, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
In much of the defective evangelism of our day, the lost are informed that the only thing necessary for their salvation is to “believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.” Other passages show that repentance is equally essential, [such as Mark 1:15 and Acts 20:21]. It is important to note that, wherever the two are mentioned, [...]
The Early Ministry of Arthur W. Pink

But, difficulties of a more serious nature now confronted the Pinks. It is clear that, after 1910, there was a great deal more than the Scofield Reference Bible which occupied the twelve hours he would, often, give daily to study. Books of a different kind had crossed his path, with teaching which could, in no [...]
The Gift of Spirituality
Posted in Arthur W. Pink, Spirituality on July 16, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
If spirituality be not practical, it is worthless. Wherever vital godliness is in a healthy state, its possessor will be duly influenced in all his relations, and he will seek faithfully to discharge every duty which he owes, not only unto God, but to his fellow men, also. Grace teaches its subjects to “live soberly [...]
On Singing
Posted in Arthur W. Pink, Worship on July 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The singing which the Scriptures inculcate is not a thing of the senses, but of faith. It is not an outburst of emotional exuberance, but an expression of the heart’s adoration. God is the object of faith. And, when that grace be in exercise, the soul is absorbed with His perfections, and melodious praise fills [...]
On the Puritans
Posted in Arthur W. Pink, Puritans on February 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The ministry of the Puritans was an exceedingly searching one. While magnifying the free grace of God in no uncertain terms, while teaching, plainly, that the satisfaction of Christ alone gave title to heaven, while emphatically repudiating all creature-merits they, nevertheless, insisted that a supernatural and transforming work of the Spirit in the heart and [...]

Here is the conclusion of Pink’s article:
Nor do we expect things to improve or conditions [to] become easier: rather, the reverse. But if, in the course of the year, the reader receives all twelve issues – even though at irregular intervals – he should be grateful. Many are praying for the editor and for God’s blessing [...]

On the attributes of God, we wrote 24 articles; on the glories of Christ (41); on the person and work of the Spirit (65); on the heart (10); spiritual growth (30); prayer (20); and the prayers of the Apostles (to date – 36). That is only a list of series, though bare figures cannot convey [...]

In the autumn of 1934, we returned to Great Britain, where we were now virtually strangers – the editor having spent almost all of the previous twenty-five years in other lands, and his wife being a Kentuckian. We had not a single Christian relative or old friend in the British Isles. During the next two [...]

At the beginning of 1925, the Lord indicated that He would have the editor engage in oral ministry in Australia, though we were acquainted with only one person there, with whom we had exchanged but a couple of letters. To respond unto that leading of Providence presented a task of no small dimensions; yea, one [...]
