Sinopsis
Excerpt from Scripture Characters
Joseph is at home, the idol of a fond parent. Ah' dote not, thou venerable Sire, on thy fair and dutiful child. Remember how soon it may be said of him, and how certainly it must be said of him, that Joseph died. Joseph is lost, and the aged father is disconsolate. He thinks of his son's bright promise, and of all that he might have been, had he been for a season spared. But grieve not, thou grey-haired patriarch. What though thy child has gone ere he has won life's empty prizes? Ah think, though he had been left to win them all, how it must have come speedily to the same issue at the last.

Excerpt from Scripture Characters
It is not mere affectation that makes me avoid the use of the title "Sermons" in designating the following papers. Nearly all of them were, in point of fact, written and delivered as pulpit discourses, either in the course of the Authors ordinary ministry or on particular occasions; and they will doubtless be found to bear the usual marks of compositions intended rather to be heard than to be read. But I would not wish them to be regarded as fair specimens of what I think the preaching of the gospel to a congregation, from Sabbath to Sabbath, ought to be. Not inadmissible at intervals, for the sake of variety - not inconsistent with evangelical doctrine, or incapable of a practical application - they are still not altogether what one would call "gospel sermons." At all events, I prefer that they should be judged by a somewhat more flexible and accommodating standard than I might myself apply to compositions professing to be the utterances of ambassadors for Christ, in the direct discharge of their commission, beseeching men to be reconciled to God.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the life and legacy of Eli, a pivotal figure in the transition from the period of Judges to the rise of Kings in ancient Israel. The author delves into Eli's character, highlighting his deep faith and love for God, yet revealing his flaws as a leader and father. Through a detailed analysis of Eliââ â¢s actions and choices, the book explores themes of faith, obedience, and the consequences of neglecting responsibility. The book contrasts Eli's character with that of Moses, illustrating the crucial role of moral courage in leadership. Ultimately, the book reveals how even the most devout individuals can struggle with human weaknesses, and that true faith requires not only devotion but also strength of character. The author's insightful exploration of Eli's story offers a compelling examination of the complex relationship between faith, leadership, and personal responsibility in a time of great change.
