About Harry Allen Ironside

“Abel acted in accordance with God’s revealed will, and in so doing, ‘obtained testimony that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and by it he, being dead, yet speaketh.’ His righteousness consisted in believing God and acting accordingly.” (Page 134)
“Faith is taking God at His word. Manifestly, therefore, we are to understand that God Himself had revealed the truth that approach to Him must be by sacrifice.” (Page 134)
“We are so likely to refer all our perplexities and difficulties merely to natural causes, and so fail to learn the lessons that they were designed to teach us by our ever patient God and Father. Or else we are likely to take everything of an adverse character as punishment, and thus become depressed in spirit because obsessed with the idea that we are constantly beaten with the rod on account of our failures. But neither view is a correct one. The truth lies in the golden mean. For the man of faith there should be no second causes. Everything will be taken as from the hand of God and even when one is called upon to share the afflictions through which the world in general is passing, the subject believer will recognize God’s hand back of it all.” (Page 156)
“‘Tempted in all points’ means of course that appeals were made to Him by Satan from the three standpoints whereby alone any of us can be tempted: ‘the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life.’ Tempted on these three points, Eve capitulated completely. ‘She saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food’—the appeal to the lust of the flesh; ‘it was pleasant to the eye’—the appeal to the lust of the eye; ‘and a tree to be desired to make one wise’—the appeal to the pride of life. She failed on every point.” (Pages 67–68)

H. A. Ironside (1876–1951) is one of the twentieth century’s greatest preachers. He has received honorary degrees from Wheaton College and Bob Jones University and was frequently invited to lecture at Dallas Theological Seminary.
After a serving as a Salvation Army officer for a brief period, Ironside joined the Plymouth Brethren and started what would become a highly successful itinerant ministry of preaching and teaching. He served as pastor at Moody Memorial Church from 1930 to 1948, and preached more than 7,000 sermons during his lifetime.
Harry A. Ironside produced close to 100 major books and pamphlets, mainly on expository and prophetic themes. He was a major figure in the popularizing of dispensationalism among American evangelicals and for the most part followed the views of the Scofield Reference Bible. Ironside’s first-edition commentaries, most-loved sermons, addresses, lectures, and tracts are available in The Works of H. A. Ironside (65 vols.).
