With informed readings of scripture, Horatius Bonar discusses the teachings central to Christianity, and the good Christian's relationship to the divine.Various topics are covered in this book's chapters, such as the importance of strengthening the soul to guard against sin, the symbolism and holy power of the crucifix, and how Christ's spirit dwells within Christians, lending support and resolution through times of hardship. What holiness is, and its ancient origins in mankind's interactions with the Lord and his messengers, is detailedThroughout this study, Horatius Bonar's scholarship is in the fullest evidence. Definitive and emphatic in his guidance, the words are delivered straightforwardly, with little dwelling on the obscure. Primarily through the use of the New Testament scripture, the author seeks to confer an understanding of Christian principles and the veneration of God. Particular attention is paid to the book of Romans, with the interpretations of the Apostle Paul taken as a foremost source of clarity.Though the author was primarily known in life for his hymn writing, in manuals such as these his depth of Biblical knowledge is evident. Working as a minister in the Church of Scotland for several decades, Bonar's scholarly activities were acknowledged with an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree issued by the University of Aberdeen.
Take heed therefore unto yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has placed you as bishops to feed the congregation of God, which he has purchased with his own blood. - Acts 20:28The objective of the Christian ministry is to convert sinners and to edify the body of Christ. No faithful minister can possibly rest short of this. Applause, fame, popularity, honor, and wealth - all these are vain. If souls are not won, and if saints are not matured, our ministry itself is futile.Questions we have to ask ourselves: Has it been the purpose of my ministry and the desire of my heart to save the lost and guide the saved? Is this my aim in every sermon I preach and in every visit I make? Is it under the influence of this feeling that I continually live and walk and speak? Do I pray and toil and fast and weep for this? Do I spend and am I spent for this, counting it, next to the salvation of my own soul, my greatest joy to be the instrument of saving others? Is it for this that I exist? To accomplish this, would I gladly die? Have I seen the pleasure of the Lord prospering in my hand? Have I seen souls converted under my ministry? Have God's people found refreshment from my lips and gone on their way rejoicing, or have I seen no fruit of my labors? Am I content to remain fruitless? Am I satisfied to preach without knowing of one saving impression I made or one sinner awakened?Opinions are not what man needs; he needs truth. Not theology, but God. Not religion, but Christ. Not literature and science, but the knowledge of the free love of God in the gift of His only begotten Son.Table of Contents The Importance of Being Hot for Christ The Importance of Being Right with God Ourselves The Danger of Unfruitful Ministry The Importance of Eliminating Our Faults The Need of Revival in Ministry Former Title: Words to Winners of Souls About the Author In 1808, Horatius Bonar was born into a family of several generations of ministers of the gospel. He graduated from the University of Edinburgh and was ordained in 1838. As a young pastor at North Parish, Kelso, he preached in villages and farmhouses, proving himself to be a comforter and guide. In 1843, he joined 450 other pastors to form the Free Church of Scotland after the "Disruption." Horatius Bonar wrote numerous books, tracts, periodicals, and more than 600 hymns. He believed that people needed truth, not opinions; God, not theology; and Christ, not religion. From his first sermon to his last, he ended with "In such an hour as ye think not, the Son of Man cometh."
In his preface to God's Way of Holiness, Horatius Bonar makes the case that ';the way of peace and the way of holiness lie side by side; or rather, they are one.' If we as Christians want to have peace, we must have holiness. And if we want to have holiness, we must first have peace with God.Peace & Holiness combines Bonars two classic devotionals on these twin subjects, God's Way of Peace and God's Way of Holiness. In short and simple chapters, Bonar lays out the truths of how we come to God and find our peace in Himand how His sanctifying work changes us.Bonar's method is not that of a professor or a theologianbut that of a humble pastor, calling his readers to God. These works were intended for those dealing with sin, hopelessness, and the brokenness of our world. In other words, they are for everyone.
