Welcome to Gleanings of Grace, a compilation of sovereign grace articles.


 I collected bit by bit numerous articles by various authors and compiled them together (in no particular order). My desire is that He may be glorified. My thought was to make more Christ centered articles easily accessible to friends and others. My prayer is to set before brethren reflections that exhort, comfort, challenge, or even rebuke; and that His sheep not yet in His fold may hear His call.

As God plants these seeds, may it please Him that we may follow and gather and partake of His grace. I pray that we may come in all humilty and that God blinds us to ignorance and presses in our hearts that which is truth.

George Whitefield

George Whitefield 1714-1770

He was a gifted English preacher and writer with a recurring intimate note of “My breathern, I beseech you”. Whitefield theme in all of his writings is the basic evangelical message of man’s irremediable sinfulness and Christ’s effective salvation. Born at Gloucester, he was educated there and at Pembroke College in Oxford where associated with those who formed the “Holy Club” and who would later be known as the first Methodist. He was subsequently ordained and later went to Georgia to meet up with John Wesley. This association with Wesley early on quickly gave way to differences in their views of salvation. Wesley adopted the Arminian interpretation and Whitefield the Calvinistic.

“Suffer me not then to go away without my errand; as it is the last time I shall speak to you, let me not speak in vain; but let a sense of the divine goodness lead you to repentance.” – George Whitefield farewell sermon
