Education, Philpot feels, is something that has fought its way into general acceptance in the population. He notes that ignorance has lost its supporters and that education in spirituality is on the rise.

Preached at the Providence Chapel in London on July 11, 1847, Philpot offered his perspective on God’s observations and his work.

Preached at the Zoar Chapel in London on August 9, 1846, Philpot reflected on the exchange and communication between God and man.
