Charles G. Finney : Conformity to the World
IT will be recollected by some who are present, that some time since I made use of this text in preaching in this place, but the object of this evening's discourse is so far different that it is not improper to employ the same text again. The following is the order in which I...

Charles G. Finney : Conditions of Being Saved

Charles G. Finney : Breaking Up the Fallow Ground
The Jews were a nation of farmers, and it is therefore a common thing in the scriptures to refer for Illustrations to their occupation, and to the scenes with which farmers and shepherds are familiar.

Charles G. Finney : Bound to Know Your True Character
It requires that we should understand our own hearts, that we should take the proper steps to make proof of our real characters, as they appear in the sight of God.
