The Fundamental Doctrines Of The Christian Faith

We were having a great many accessions to our church. While many of these came by letter form other churches, many of them were new converts and had had practically no systematic instruction in the fundamental truths of the Christina faith, so we announced a series of sermons on The Fundamental Doctrines of the Christian Faith. There was immediately a large increase in the attendance at the services where these addresses were given, and this increase has kept up until on the last Lord's Day we had much the largest attendance we have ever had, excepting Easter Sunday. Many have testified to the blessing received form these sermons, and there has been a great demand that the sermons be printed for general circulation. It is hoped that this volume will be useful to other pastors in suggesting lines of teaching in their regular pastoral work, and also that it may be used widely by pastors and others for circulation among Christians. We live in a day in which many of our church members are all at sea as to what they believe on the fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith. These sermons have already helped many through their delivery. It is hoped they will reach and help far more in the printed form.

the last. The God of the Bible is a Personal Being Who, while He created all things and is in all things, is a distinct personality separate from the persons and things He has created.

III. GOD'S PRESENT RELATION TO THE WORLD AND TO MEN

We turn now to a consideration of the present relation of this Personal God presented to us in the Bible, to the world He has created and to the men whom He has created.

1. In the first place we find that God sustains, governs and cares for the world He has created. He shapes the whole present history of the world. This comes out again and again. A few illustrations must suffice. We read in Ps. 104:27-30: "These wait all for thee, that thou mayest [52]give them their food in due season. (28) Thou givest unto them, they gather; thou openest thy hand, they are satisfied with good. (29) Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled; thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. (30) Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created; and thou renewest the face of the ground." And again in Ps. 75:6, 7: "For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, cometh lifting up. (7) But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and lifteth up another." All these passages and others that could be cited, set forth the same conception of God's present relation to the world which He has created. They show, as we have said, that God sustains, governs and cares for the work He has created; that He shapes the whole present history of the world.

2. Now let us look at His relation to the affairs of men. We will find that God has a present, personal interest and an active hand in the affairs of men; that He makes a path for His people and leads them; that He delivers, saves and punishes. Here fo

This is one of those sets that I've grown up with, and I am very thankful that I did. It set good guard-rails for my theology early on.

Overall, I'm not sure if I will actually pick these up again after reading them through. I think the first volume is the only one that has true potential to be a very helpful resource in the future. I'd give the first volume five stars, the second two, the third three, and the fourth four. Because o

Well this collection was not exactly what I expected it to be before I read it. I expected it to be a series of doctrinal essays on the fundamentals of the faith. Instead it is a series of 90 essays on a wide variety of topics from the aforesaid fundamentals to eschatology, missions, evangelism, per

In the early part of the twentieth century a controversy in the church erupted between the modernists and the fundamentalists. The fundamentalists got their name from the fact that they published an enormous number of booklets defending "the fundamentals," by which they mean the infallibility of the

It's a dated reading, but the Fundamentals gives good insight to how conservative Christian leaders responded to liberalism in the early 20th century.

This is an important series of essays historically, as it is a demarcation of the struggle between those who wanted to blend the best of Christianity with the best of modern humanism (the so-called liberals), and those who believe that Christianity is truly from God, and therefore stands alone due t
