If he could, he would tear himself right away, and go where there is no minister, and where the people would be willing to receive the gospel. But there he must stay, though he cannot get the church into a state to have a revival once in, three years, to last three months at a time. It might be well for him to say to the church, "Whenever you are determined to take one of these long naps, I wish you to let me know it, so that I can go and labor somewhere else in the mean time, till you are ready to" wake again." 3, Many churches cannot be blessed with a revival, because they are spunging out of other churches, and out of the treasury of the Lord, for the support of their minister, when they are abundantly able to support him themselves. Perhaps they are depending on the Home Missionary Society, or on other churches, while they are not exercising any self-denial for the sake of the gospel. I have been amazed to see how some churches live. One church that I was acquainted with, actually confessed that they spent more money for tobacco than they gave for missions. And yet they had no minister, because they were not able to support one. And they have none now. And yet there is one man in that church who is able to support a minister. And still they have no minister, and no preaching. The churches have not been instructed in their duty on this subject. I stopped in one place last summer, where there was no preaching. I inquired of an elder in the church, why it was so, and he said it was because they were so poor. I asked him how much he was worth.

<p>The Letter to the Romans stands as Paul's most significant message on how to begin and maintain a loving relationship with God and others. The Holy Spirit often leads those seeking to understand the essentials of saving and sanctifying faith to read Romans. Beginning with "Principles of Righteousness," Finney's Lessons on Romans presents an authoritative collection of Finney's teachings on how to live for Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit. Charles G. Finney became the greatest American preacher and theologian of the Nineteenth-Century. He traveled as an evangelist and revivalist in America and abroad, served in settled pastorates, taught as a professor of theology, promoted the abolition of slavery and equal rights, helped found and served as President of Oberlin College. Just as one cannot understand the Great Awakening without studying Jonathan Edwards, one cannot understand the great revivals and the theological and social movements in Nineteenth-Century America without studying Charles G. Finney. Because Finney's teachings remained true to the Bible and common sense, his message transformed thousands. In this new Finney's Principles series book, the Study Questions by the editor and the Commentary by Henry Cowles will help you apply Finney's teachings. The Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Edition of "Principles of Righteousness: Finney's Lessons on Romans, Volume I" will continue the Finney's Principles series, which began with the publication of Finney's "Principles of Prayer" in 1980. L.G. Parkhurst, Jr., the compiler and editor of the Finney's Principles series, will complete Finney's Lessons on Romans, with "Principles of Peace: Volume II" and "Principles of Joy in the Holy Spirit: Volume III".

Principles of Righteousness: Finney's Lessons on Romans, Volume I

Agion Press

The Letter to the Romans stands as Paul's most significant message on how to begin and maintain a loving relationship with God and others. The Holy Spirit often leads those seeking to understand the essentials of saving and sanctifying faith to read Romans. Beginning with Charles G. Finney's Principles of Righteousness, Volume I, continuing with Principles of Peace, Volume II, and concluding with his Principles of Joy in the Holy Spirit, Volume III, this three-volume set of Finney's Lessons on Romans presents an authoritative collection of Finney's teachings on how to live for Jesus Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit. Finney's Lessons on Romans also provide a solid Biblical foundation for those who want to understand better Finney's Systematic Theology. In this new Finney's Principles Series set, the addition of Study Questions for individuals and groups by the editor and the Commentary on Romans by Henry Cowles, a fellow professor with Finney at Oberlin College, will help you apply and remember the principles contained in Finney's lectures and sermons on Romans. Charles G. Finney became the greatest American preacher and theologian of the Nineteenth-Century. He traveled widely as an evangelist and revivalist in America and abroad, served settled pastorates, taught as a professor of theology, promoted the abolition of slavery and equal rights, and helped found and served as President of Oberlin College in Ohio. Just as one cannot understand the Great Awakening without studying Jonathan Edwards, one cannot understand the great revivals and the theological and social reform movements in Nineteenth-Century America without studying Charles G. Finney. Because Finney's teachings remained true to the Bible and common sense, his message transformed thousands and continues to ring true in the hearts and minds of God's people.
