The most delightful doctrine!by SpurgeonI am sure there is no more delightful doctrine to aChristian, than that of CHRIST’S ABSOLUTE SOVEREIGNTY!

Lose yourself in the impenetrable tracts of His Glory! (John MacDuff, “The Night Watches”) “Before the mountains were brought forth,or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world,even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God” Psalm 90:2 O my soul!

It is […]
“He shall not Fail” Isaiah 42:4 We trust an undefeated and undefeatable Savior; “He shall not fail!” The Son of God can never be frustrated in his purpose, defeated in his design, or hindered in his work. Christ was not conquered at Calvary. He conquered. He did not die as the helpless victim of circumstances. […]
