Overview

Originally delivered at Moody Bible Institute as a series of lectures, G. Campbell Morgan analytically surveys critical questions conveyed in Malachi within contextual basis of the other prophets. “Wherein hast Thou loved us? Wherein have we despised Thy name? Wherein have we polluted Thee?” Malachi asks these questions, earnestly pleading with the Israelites to return to God. Even today, there is much to be learned from this prophetic book of the Bible about who God is and how we as His people are to respond to Him.

“This word shows us the condition of these people in a lurid light. The temple is rebuilt, the altar is set up, the sacrifices are offered, the feasts and fasts are alike observed, and to these people—with outward form and ritual, perfect to the very last and minutest detail—the prophecy comes, the Divine complaint is made.” (Page 29)

“If these people forget God loves, they will very soon forget to bring the tithe; and the only service that God seeks is the service of love that responds to His love.” (Pages 71–72)

“There is a keyword in the book revealing this condition, a word these people used in reply to every message which the prophet delivered to them, showing what their real attitude was. It is the word ‘Wherein.’” (Page 27)

“There was no self-denial in their giving, and each might have said, as men often say to-day, ‘I do not miss what I give.’ To such, let me say, God does not thank you for your gift.” (Page 49)

“spirit of the age. Formalism, ritual, ceremonial—everything so far as mechanical and outward observance—complete” (Page 35)

About George Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan (1863–1945) was a pastor and leading Bible scholar. He was a contemporary of Rodney “Gipsy” Smith and preached his first sermon at age 13. A few years after Morgan was ordained to the Congregational ministry, D. L. Moody invited him to teach at the Moody Bible Institute. Morgan became the director of Northfield Bible Conference after Moody.

He was the pastor of Westminster Chapel in London from 1904 to 1919 and then from 1933 to 1943, pausing for a brief period to work at Biola in Los Angeles. In 1939, Morgan began to mentor Martyn Lloyd-Jones, who would eventually become his successor at Westminster Chapel.

Morgan’s essay entitled The Purposes of the Incarnation is included in a collection called The Fundamentals, a set of 90 essays that is widely considered to be the foundation of the modern Fundamentalist movement. Several of Morgan’s writings are in G. Campbell Morgan Collection (30 vols.), including The Analyzed Bible, Discipleship, The True Estimate of Life and How to Live, and many more. He is also the author of God’s Perfect Will and The Crises of the Christ.
