# New Devotional Writings and Sermons by T.D. Witherspoon

As we continue to build our Presbyterian library at Log College Press, we wanted to highlight some new additions to the [Thomas Dwight Witherspoon](/authors/thomas-dwight-witherspoon) page that are well worth checking out. These new materials comprises mostly devotional pieces and sermons which he published in the 1880s and 1890s.

Here is a list of *some* of the new additions:

- Saul Preaching Christ (1883);
- Samuel the Judge (1883);
- Paul at Corinth (1884);
- Confidence in God (1884);
- The True Oblation (1884);
- God’s Great Sacrifice (1884);
- Desire for Communion (1884);
- The Material Decays — Only the Spiritual Abides: A Baccalaureate Sermon (1884);
- Sowing in Tears (1884);
- Paul Before Agrippa (1885);
- The Gracious Invitation (1885);
- The God of Jeshurun \[opening sermon before the PCUS General Assembly\] (1885);
- The Christian’s Surrender to Christ (1885);
- The Priceless Legacy: A Sermon to Young Men (1890); and
- Christ as the Rain (1891).

The last devotional meditation was written on a rainy Lord’s Day and uses the imagery in Scripture from Hosea 6:3 (“He shall come to us as the rain”) to portray Christ as a gentle rain who gives life and refreshment to our souls.

Feel free to browse, meditate on and download these works for further study. [T.D. Witherspoon](/authors/thomas-dwight-witherspoon) is a treasure, and we hope to keep adding to his page as we go along, D.V.
