This month we celebrate our 25th Anniversary - We Thank the Lord for You.

We are delighted that you use the free resources available at Monergism. Our mission is to provide open access to scripturally sound and theologically rich Christian literature, ensuring cost is never a barrier to building a robust Christian library. While these resources are free to all, sustaining this ministry requires funding.

Last year, over 1 million new visitors accessed our resources. Given that less than 1% of readers donate, we humbly ask you to consider supporting this ministry. If everyone reading this gave just $5, we could meet our 2024 budget in no time.

Every contribution makes a difference - whether it's a monthly gift of $20 or a one-time donation of $10, $25, $100, or more. You can also read our business plan to see how your gifts are used to further this mission.

Monergism (CPRF) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, and all donations are tax-deductible.

Christian Titles: A Series of Practical Meditations (eBook)

by Stephen Tyng

in ePub, .mobi & .pdf formats

First published in 1840, this classic devotional book by Stephen Tyng is an insightful look at our identity in Christ. By what various names does the Lord describe his people in the Holy Scriptures! How important is the practical instruction to be derived from these divinely-appointed titles! Each of them has a distinct meaning. Each of them leads to a distinct line of practical meditation. Each of them presents a distinct view of human duty. Perhaps we can learn our peculiar duties as the servants of our Lord Jesus Christ, in no way more clearly than by contemplating the names which he has been pleased to give us in his word. We shall know what we are, and what we ought to be, by faithfully considering what the Lord is pleased to call us. This is my present purpose. May the gracious Lord himself guide and teach us by his Holy Spirit!

Every different name or title by which a Christian is described, leads to a particular practical obligation. I wish to consider some of the practical and personal thoughts and conclusions which flow from each. The object of such meditation is to aid us in walking worthy of our high vocation, and to encourage us to perfect holiness in the fear of God. No object could be more important. If God shall be pleased to bless us in this, no greater blessing can be bestowed. Thus shall we be made able to glorify the Savior on earth--to confess him in the world--to honor him among men--to walk in the light and joy of his countenance--to be ready for his appearing--to stand before him without fear.

Let us make these a daily meditation. Let us use them for a constant guide. Let the present series of thoughts be made a help to lay out and prepare others for ourselves, in the same method. Thus shall we acquire the habit of heavenly conversation, and cultivate that spiritual mind which is life and peace. Our meditations of our glorious Lord shall be sweet. And in the multitude of our thoughts within us, his comforts shall delight our soul.
