I am grateful for GOD’S blessing through the assistance of Tom Dioro in establishing Daily Spurgeon.tv. This has greatly enriched the Devotional Content from Charles Haddon Spurgeon and the use of the Authorized King James Bible (1769 edition).
Our prayer is that many will be Born Again and will continue to have the Joy of the Lord and the peace that passes understanding in the continued loving fellowship with one another and the God-kind [Agape] of love that GOD has so generously given to us.
Thank you in the name of The Lord Jesus Christ [Anointed Messiah] for His sake and by His Grace, All Glory to Him.
Your brother in Christ,
John Michael

WHY THE AUTHORIZED KING JAMES VERSION (1769) IS THE BEST
by Steven Houck
Even though [it is said that the] King James Version has its weaknesses, it is an excellent translation and by far the best version available today. We must not be taken in by the modern versions and their claims. Our 400 years old Bible is to be preferred above all others because it is better than them all.
1) It was translated by men who are unsurpassed in their knowledge of Biblical studies.
2) The translators were pious men of God who believed in the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures.
3) It is the mature fruit of generations of English translations as well as the careful work of its translators.
4) The King James Version is based upon the Received Text rather than the critical Greek text of modern versions. [vis. Sinaiticus and Vaticanus.]
5) It is a word-for-word translation which faithfully and accurately reflects the original manuscripts [of the extant Majority Texts, MT].
6) The language is one of reverence and respect which gives honor [and greater glory] to the majesty of its Author.
7) Of all the English versions of today, it alone is the Bible of the Reformation.
8) Our spiritual forefathers thought so highly of it that they were willing to suffer and even die for it.
9) It is the version which has been recognized for generations and generations as the Bible God has given to His English-speaking Church.
[The 10th reason why it is best is added here by DailySpurgeon.com]
10) The KJV is the work of 54 translators selected and organized into seven companies. (2), from Westminster (2), from Cambridge, (2), from Oxford and (1) from London. The work was done openly allowing each company to receive inquiries and comments during the course of the work. When an issue of disagreement arose, it was addressed in Prayer and discussion was continued until the difference was resolved unanimously.

GOD’S PROVIDENCE
The Apostle Paul’s gratitude for and blessing of the Philippian believers when he was in jail are recorded in Philippians 4:17. He reflected and radiated faith that God would bless with abounding fruit those that were supporting him.
Look at Paul’s words:
…I desire “fruit that may abound to your [their] account.
"For even in Thessaloni'ca [where I was in jail] ye sent once and again unto my necessity. Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, a sweet fragrance, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God. 19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
20 Now unto God and our Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen
But I know that my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you. All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of *Caesar’s household [under Cesar’s authority]. “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.”
* Not only were converts won to Christ Jesus in Caesar's household, but after their conversions they remained there. They did not feel at liberty to abandon their duty posts merely because their surroundings were no longer comfortable. They decided to remain, out of their comfort zone, and to testify of the transforming power of their faith in Jesus Christ. The truth had found them there, and there they would remain, continuing as born-again fully committed followers of Jesus Christ.

“Pay Day Someday” (Click Here) 75 minutes
He preached this message over 1,000 times to over a million people resulting in many being drawn to confess and repent [turn away from] their sins, and to look to Christ Jesus, and Him alone for eternal life, and to confess Him publicly to be their Savior and Lord as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Dr. Lee preached from The Formal Equivalent (Literal / word-for-word) Providentially Preserved and Protected, Everlasting WORD of GOD, The 1769 Edition of The Authorized, Authoritative King James Bible: The Inspired [God Breathed], Immutable! [never will be changed], inerrant and Infallible [incapable of error].

DAILY SPURGEON and DEVOTION for November 7th *A.D. 2026 written and calendared by Charles Spurgeon.
King James the First of England Approved, Authorized, Commissioned and provided the leadership to create a new version of the Bible. This new Bible translation was directed by the King and was to be based on the Bishop’s Bible. (This Bible consists of The Old Testament which is meticulously copied from the ancient Hebrew [Masoretic] text. The meticulous work of preserving and copying the ancient Hebrew text was done by the Masorete Scribes and Priests. Their core mission was to safeguard the original Hebrew Scriptures [The Tanakh / Old Testament] so that its meaning, pronunciation and accuracy would never be lost.
The Priest / Scribe ultimate biblical model for this role is Ezra 7:12 “Ezra the Priest, the scribe of the law”.
The Traditional [original, Received Greek Text] The Textus Receptus is the Master text from which the King James translation of the New Testament is taken. The King James Version of 1769 is Providentially preserved and protected and is authoritative and the most quoted, and read Bible version ever. It has circulated over 6 Billion copies. This is more than all the other versions and editions Combined and is the Most Influential, faithful and best Bible ever.
The NEW King James version is inferior to the [OLD 1769] King James Bible because It does not follow the Traditional, Received Greek Text [The Textus Receptus].

THE TESTIMONY OF CHARLES SPURGEON'S CONVERSION IN HIS OWN WORDS. (Click here)
______________________________________________
—*A.D. does NOT mean “After Death”.
Rather, it abbreviates Anno Domini;
… a Latin phrase adopted into English that means:
“Year of our Lord."
______________________________________________
Does BC/AD versus BCE/CE really matter? …YES. IT DOES!
Defend the Truth. Stand against the attempt to mislead, Won’t you? ...More
The new terms are meaningless because BCE and CE still denote the exact number of years in relationship to the birth in Bethlehem of Jesus Christ [The Anointed Messiah].
Dr. Michael Nazir-Ali, the former Bishop of Rochester, says: 'This amounts to the dumbing down of the Christian basis of our culture, language and history. These changes are unnecessary and they don't achieve the BBC’s objective [of wiping out any mention of or reference to Jesus Christ, His birth or His life]. ’
'Whether you use “Common Era, CE” or “Anno Domini, AD”, the date is actually still exactly the same and the reference point is still the birth of [Jesus] Christ.
DR. DOUG LEVESQUE presents a Historical account to show why we should not rely on the more than 1,100 dumbed-down English translations translated from the CRITICAL TEXT; An Inferior text cobbled together by self-appointed men, critical of The God-breathed, Inspired Word of God. The Critical Text follows Satan’s questioning words of temptation in the Garden of Eden:
“Hath God Said ?”

(169 minutes. Video Documentary)
“Bridge to Babylon” is an exceptionally thoughtful Treatise of the explosion of over 1,100 English translations of the Bible. An expose of the continuous attempts to replace the Traditional 1769 King James Version of God’s Holy, Inspired, Inerrant, Infallible and Immutable Bible. All Attempts have failed and will continue to do so because GOD Himself providentially preserves and protects His Inspired, Inerrant and Immutable [God Breathed/Spoken] Words from all heresy, blasphemy, confusion, error and misinterpretation .
Over six Billion (1769) King James Bibles establish it as the most widely printed, read and distributed book in human history. This is more than all other translations put together and it continues to be the most quoted and most read Bible ever.

Scroll to bottom of p. 28 for “ 19 EPISODES” of THE PILGRIM’S PROGRESS written in 1678 and is second only to the Bible as the all-time most widely printed and distributed book ever. It has never been out of print.

A Memorial Honoring the Memory of John Michael’s *Dad:
The last words, spoken by John Michael’s beloved Daddy.
Charles Dumah Riley, Sr. (AKA: *Daddy, "CD", and Paw Paw) 1897 – 1987
JM witnessed the last few hours of his *Daddy’s life on earth coming to an end and heard him say only “Amen” over and over, in the belief that he was affirming and agreeing with God’s will in the conclusion of his own life’s and giving a testimony of God’s goodness to him and his agreement and his surrender to his earthly departure to be eternally present with the Lord Jesus.
Amen... Amen… and Amen!
My Daddy’s prayer before every meal, always offered with gravity, reverence and always spoken in the unique sound of his deep Bass prayer voice:
“Accept our thanks for these and all other blessings, we humbly ask in Thy name, Amen.”

How to Discern between The Holy Ghost and the spirit of the Antichrist or false teachers:
Ask: Is this Website from God?
God says in His WORD to try every spirit to determine whether they are of God, and therefore to be believed or whether they are from the antichrist and must not be believed.
Chapter 4
1Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try [test] the spirits whether they are of God, because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye [by this you [will] know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth [confesses] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that confesseth not [doesn’t confess] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof [of which] ye [you all] have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Therefore, Daily Spurgeon’s Website does hereby confess that
"Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh!” [as the Body and Bride of Christ; His Church!

DEVOTION for November 7th *A,D, 2026.
________________________________________________
All English Bible versions NOT translated from the Textus Receptus [The (Traditional) Received Text] diminish the person and Gospel of Jesus Christ. Total glory and the most Holy reverence is due to The Almighty GOD. He preserves and protects The immutable 1769 Edition of the 1611 King James Version of The KJV Bible. This version is also known as the Authorized King James Version AKJV and the Authorized Version AV. ALL GLORY is due to and must be given to the Omnipotent, Almighty King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
The Geneva Bible was also faithfully translated from the Greek Textus Receptus and includes commentaries from inspired, devoted, faithful men of GOD; Puritan Brothers beyond reproach.
Only the traditional Textus Receptus [Received Greek Text] was produced from more than 5,321 original Majority Greek Manuscripts MT that agree 99% with one another. All other variant readings are translated from either Westcott and Hort’s or Nestle and Aland’s, Greek Texts fabricated from only a handful [45] of The Majority Text Manuscripts lack the trustworthiness of Fully Devoted Followers and Translators of the inspired 1769 [1611] King James Version, KJV and the Geneva Bible. are the only two translations from the Traditional, Received, Inspired, [GOD BREATHED] immutable [UNCHANGEABLE] and providentially and divinely protected Textus Receptus.

(169 Minutes)
Bridge to Babylon presents the history of the explosion of over 100 new English translations or Editions of the Bible. Continuing attempts to replace, add or take away from the 1769 King James Version of the Bible can not prevail because GOD Himself preserves and protects His Inspired, Inerrant, Infallible Holy Word of GOD from all heresy, blasphemy, confusion , errors, additions, subtractions or changes down to the very Jots and Tittles..
________________________________________________
BCE/CE vs. BC/AD What’s the difference?
defend the Truth. Won’t you?
*A.D. does NOT mean “After Death” as many mistakenly believe. It is Latin for Anno Domini, a phrase adopted into English usage that means “Year of [the/our] Lord”. The complete original phrase "anno Domini nostri Jesu Christi" means "in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ”. A.D. is used with B.C. Before Christ to divide all history before and after the birth of Jesus Christ. ...More
______________________________________________________
Should DAILYSPURGEON be trusted? Is it trustworthy?
Yes! Is it Here’s why.
Beloved ones, don’t be believing every spirit [everyone or !everything] you hear but be testing the spirit [voice] whether it is of God: because many false prophets have gone [come] out into the world. Here’s how you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit [voice] that confesses [avows] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh, having come[who came] out of God, is of God: and every spirit that confesses not [doesn’t audibly avow] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
I hereby confess, audibly, as I write, that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh.
[All translations of the Bible that use any Greek text other than the traditional and faithful Textus Receptus ignore the Greek word “ictin” [that means“is” in English]. This omission allows the translational error to be change from “is come” [is here] to “has come”.
This error is self-evident because non-believers, false prophets and heretics can, and frequently do, declare that Jesus Christ “has come” [in the flesh]; perhaps the single most documented fact in all of human history
While this is a true statement, at face value, its meaning “has come” clearly does not convey the same meaning as “is here”; the essential to be able to discern whether the spirit is the Spirit of God or that spirit of antichrist.
The most well documented fact in all of human history is that the Lord Jesus Christ [The Messiah] “has come” in the flesh. However, the question of far greater importance, is not whether the spirit [of a word or from a person] being considered and tested confesses that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh but, whether the confession being made affirms that Jesus Christ, “is come” [is here], from God, in the flesh.
30 for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32
This is a great mystery: but I [the Apostle Paul] speak concerning Christ and the church. [The body of CHRIST]
25
Consider [and compare] scripture with scripture: Precept upon precept, Line upon line.
“I speak concerning Christ and the church.” [the fleshly embodiment, here and now , of the body of Christ]. Because fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ are members of the incarnate Body of Christ [The Church]

________________________________________
PRAYER 14, Part 8 of 8 BLESS THE LORD, O MY SOUL!
[Prayer for America]
O God of the Judges, Thou [You] who didst [did] raise up first one and then another when the people went astray from God; raise up for us still our Deborahs, our Baraks, our Gideons and Jephthahs, and Samuels, that shall maintain for God His truth, and worst [defeat] the enemies of Israel.
Lord look upon Thy [Your] Church in these days. Lord revive us. Lord restore us. Lord give power to Thy [Your] Word again that Thy [Your] name may be glorified. Remember the Church of God in this land in all its various phases and portions, and pour out Thy [Your] Spirit upon it.
Remember the multitude of Thy [Your] people across the sea in America, prosper them, bless them with the increase of God.
And wherever Thou hast [You have] a people may Jesus dwell with them and reveal Himself to His own, for Christ’s sake, to whom be glory with the Father and with the Holy Ghost, for ever and ever.. [in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,] .. Amen.
Note: This prayer was prayed by Charles Spurgeon in the 1800’s and was republished in 1909 by Dinsdale T. Young.
It was published again on November 7, 2012 by the John Mark Publishing Co. publisher of DailySpurgeon.com a website ministering the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the use of content preached and written by Charles Spurgeon… At the time it was published. no thought had been given to the date or the corresponding Presidential election in the U. S. on the previous day.
The 2012 publication actually fell one day after President Barak Obama was elected on November 6th.. It was truly amazing to realize the connection with the providential significance in Spurgeon’s prayer for America and the mention of the name, “Barak”. Remarkable in the fact that the name Barak of the old testament appeared in the prayer; providential in its timeliness (the very next day after the election) and miraculous with the specific blessing to prosper and bless America with the increase of Godliness, by a Pastor, in London, delivered over 150 years ago and miraculous in its timeliness, and relevance, still bringing a blessing to us today. Please agree in prayer for a return to God more today. Won’t you?
P.S. on November 7th , 2021
The legacy of Barak Obama’s presidency paved the way for the 2016 election of Donald John Trump, and his reelection in 2024. Trump, a businessman and political outsider, has awakened America’s patriots and leads the movement to stand against corruption in government, and ungodly public policies in favor of a return to greatness by the United States and to be found truly “Under God” once again.
ANECDOTE 98: November 7th A CHRISTIAN HOME.
A religious house is the best proof of true piety. It is not my chapel, it is my house it is not my minister, it is my home companion who can best judge me; it is the servant, the child, the wife, the friend, that can discern most of my real character. A good man will improve his household.
Rowland Hill once said, he would not believe a man to be a true Christian if his wife, his children, the servants, and even the dog and cat, were not the better for it. That is being religious [a true believer].
If your household is not the better for your Christianity if men cannot say, “This is a better house than others,” then be not deceived ye have nothing of the grace of God.
Let not your servant [house-keeper, maintenance or landscaper], on leaving your employ, say, “Well, this is a queer sort of a religious family; there was no prayer in the morning, I began the day with my drudgery; there was no prayer at night, I was kept at home all the Sabbath-day. Once a fortnight, [14 days] perhaps, I was allowed to go out in the afternoon, when there was nowhere to go where I could hear a gospel sermon. My master and mistress went to a place where of course they heard the blessed gospel of God that was all for them; as for me, I might have the dregs and leavings of some overworked curate in the afternoon.” Surely, Christian men will not act in that way. No! Carry out your godliness in the heart of your own family [neighbors, coworkers, friends, and those you come in contact with].
FAITH’S CHECKBOOK November 7th TRUE HUMILITY REWARDED
by C.H. Spurgeon 1834-1892
-He that humbleth himself shall be exalted- Luke 18:14
-El que se humilla, sera ensalzado- Lucas 18:14
It ought not to be difficult for us to humble ourselves, for what have we to be proud of? [What do we have that God has not given us] We ought to take the lowest place without being told to do so. If we are sensible and honest, we shall be little in our own eyes. Especially before the Lord in prayer we shall shrink to nothing.
There we cannot speak of merit [our own goodness] , for we have none: our one and only appeal must be to mercy: -God be merciful to me a sinner.- Here is a cheering word from the throne. We shall be exalted by the Lord if we humble ourselves.
For us the way upward is downhill [downward] . When we are stripped of self [selfishness and pride] we are clothed with humility, and this is the best of [clothing to] wear. The Lord will exalt us [lift us up] in peace and happiness of mind; He will exalt us into knowledge of His Word and fellowship with Himself; He will exalt us [lift us up] in the enjoyment of sure pardon and justification.
The Lord puts His honors upon those who can wear them to the honor of the Giver. He gives usefulness, acceptance, and influence to those who will not be puffed up by them, but will be abased by a sense of greater responsibility. Neither God nor man will care to lift up a man who lifts up himself; but both God and good men unite to honor modest [unassuming, unassertive, authentic] worth.
O Lord, sink me in self that I may rise in thee.
Prayer: Thank You Lord that you lift us up when we humble ourselves before You. Thank You that You hear and answer all our prayers. Help me to humble myself and trust in You. I pray this in the name of the Lord Jesus, Amen.
MORNING November 7th "BEHOLD, I HAVE GRAVEN [Engraved] THEE UPON THE PALMS OF MY hands."
—He aquí que en las palmas te tengo esculpida Isaías 49:16
N0 doubt a part of God's wonder which is concentrated in the word "Behold," is excited by the unbelieving lamentation [sorrow] of the preceding sentence. [verse 14:] “But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me.” How amazed the divine mind seems to be at this wicked unbelief! What can be more astounding than the unfounded doubts and fears of God's favored people?
The Lord's loving word of rebuke should make us blush; He cries, "How can I have forgotten you, when I have engraved you on the palms of my hands? How dare you doubt my constant remembrance, when the memorial is set on my very flesh?" 0 unbelief, how strange a marvel you are! We know not which to wonder at most, the faithfulness of God or the unbelief of His people. He keeps His promise a thousand times, and yet the next trial makes us doubt Him. He never fails;
He is never a dry well; He is never as a setting sun, a passing meteor, or a melting vapor; and yet we are continually vexed with anxieties, molested with suspicions, and disturbed with fears, as if our God were the mirage of the desert.
"Behold," is a word intended to excite admiration. Here, indeed, we have a theme for marveling [being amazed]. Heaven and earth may well be astonished that rebels should obtain so great a nearness to the heart of infinite love as to be written on the palms of His hands. "I have graven thee [you].” It does not say, [I have written] "Your name." The name is there, but that is not all: "I have graven [etched, engraved] thee [you]." See the fullness of this! I have graven your person, your image, your case, your circumstances, your sins, your temptations, your weaknesses, your wants, your works;
I have “graven thee,” [you] everything about you, all that concerns you; I have put you altogether there. Will you ever say again that God has forsaken you when He has "graven [tattooed] thee [you] " on His own palms?
EVENING November 7th "AND YE SHALL BE WITNESSES UNTO ME. "— Acts 1:8
—Me sereís testigos— Hechos 1:8
IN order to learn how to perform your duty as a witness for Christ, look at His example. He is always witnessing:
by the well of Samaria or
in the Temple of Jerusalem,
by the lake of Gennesaret or
on the mountain's brow.
He is witnessing night and day;
His mighty prayers are as vocal to God as His daily services. He witnesses under all circumstances. Scribes and Pharisees cannot shut His mouth; even before Pilate He witnesses a good confession. He witnesses so clearly and distinctly that there is no mistake in Him.
Christian, make your life a clear testimony. Be as the brook wherein you may see every stone at the bottom, not as the muddy creek of which you only see the surface, but clear and transparent, so that your heart's love to God and man may be visible to all.
You need not say, "I am true": be true. Boast not of integrity, but be upright. So shall your testimony be such that men cannot help seeing it. Never, for fear of feeble man, restrain your witness. Your lips have been warmed with a coal from off the altar; let them speak like heaven-touched lips should. "In the morning sow [plant] thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand [don’t hold back] ."
Watch not the clouds, consult not the wind [don’t look for excuses] —in season and out of season witness for the Savior, and if it comes to pass that for Christ's sake you endure suffering in any shape, shrink not, but rejoice in the honor thus conferred on you that you are counted worthy to suffer with your Lord. And joy also in this—that your sufferings, your losses, and persecutions will make you a platform from which the more vigorously and with greater power you will witness for Christ Jesus. Study your great Exemplar [Example, the Lord Jesus], and be filled with His Spirit.
Remember that you [we] need much teaching, much upholding [support], much grace, and much humility if your witnessing is to be to your Master's glory.

“Lord Jesus, I’m a lost sinner hopeless without You. I would never be able to save myself. Without your death on the cross to pay my sin debt I would be condemned to spend eternity condemned in Hell. By nature and practice I am a natural-born sinner. I’m totally depraved and I sin because I am a sinner. Please forgive me.
I realize that doing my best or being as good as possible, or being better than other people or having good excuses can never save me.
I look to You, alone Lord Jesus to save me.
I call on You, by name, Lord Jesus, right now to save me. You died on the cross in my place to pay for my sin. Your Word says, “It shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21. Thank You, Lord.
Right now, I surrender my sinful self to You, just as I am, Lord Jesus. I trust You to forgive me and save me and be my Lord and Savior.
Please forgive me for all my sins. I’m sorry for every sin (bad thoughts, words and things I have done) and look to You to forgive me of them all. I need your strength to overcome sin’s temptations. Thank you for forgiving me.
You paid the price for all of my sins by dying on the cross.
Thank you Lord Jesus that You loved me and died for me before I was born and that You love me still.
Thank you Heavenly Father that You have made the way of redemption, forgiveness and atonement for me and have drawn me away from sin and death into Life in Your only begotten son. He took my place and suffered my punishment.
Thank You, Heavenly Father that you raised Jesus from the dead. He is ALIVE and in Him we are victorious over sin, death and the grave. In Christ Jesus there is therefore now no condemnation.
Thank You for saving me heavenly Father and for sending the Holy Spirit for my guidance, comfort and solemn instruction into all truth, Amen.”
With all my heart, I thank you Lord Jesus for saving me. In your name, Lord Jesus I pray, Amen.

Sing: This Little Light of Mine Children’s Chorus by JAMJAR Sing-along won’t you? This PRAISE music came to mind from today’s ANECDOTE.
Better [to] have two lights than only one. The light of creation is a bright light. God may be seen in the stars; his name is written in gilt letters on the brow of night; you may discover his glory in the ocean waves, yea, in the trees of the field; but it is better to read it in two books than in one.

David Hocking (click here) enlightens us with historical facts that make viewing the case for the OLD KING JAMES VERSION; time well spent.
You will find it here [in the Bible] more clearly revealed; for he has written this book himself, and he has given you the key to understand it, through the Holy Spirit. Ah, beloved, let us thank God for this Bible; let us love it; let us count it more precious than much fine gold.
[The Authorized immutable King James Version, (AKJV) used by Charles Spurgeon is
God’s preserved, and protected inerrant and immutable Word.
David Hocking makes the case for the Protected translation of the Bible, and points out the textual errors of “Critical Text” and the erroneous Theory followed by all modern English translations due to Westcott and Hort’s inferior Greek Translation of the New Testament. Text that follows incomplete and conflicting Greek manuscripts rather than the coherent and reliable Traditional Text [Received Text (Textus Receptus)] for the New Testament and the Masoretic Hebrew Text for the New and Old Testament respectively of the Authorized King James Bible.
“Preach The Bible, The Whole Bible and Nothing but the Bible” is an expression David Hocking expressed often.

TODAY’S SERMON:
Behold Your God Isaiah 40:9 with Dr. Peter Masters

https://metropolitantabernacle.org/sermons-online/behold-your-god/
Our society today knows so little about almighty God, having willfully shut Him out of all consideration. But look, says the Bible, at His attributes, ways and plans. Consider the uniqueness of God and compare His actions, plans and promises with those of human society.

I Will Sing The Wondrous Story
The Love of God Bill Gaither with Choir
I Love You Lord by Jared Reynolds
In loving memory of Jon Edward Riley (1971-2021) who would sometimes just bust-out singing this beautiful praise; often, on the way to church with his Dad.
…“Later” [see-ya later] was how he always said farewell … he would never say “good-bye”. Remembering how Jon always said “Later” brings a special joy to those he loved so well. … and brings to mind the promise of the song:
’Till We Meet Again. By Jeremiah Rankin (1880) with Antrim Mennonite Choir
Amen.
FEATURED SERMON:
From The Metropolitan Tabernacle (C.H. Spurgeon 1834-1892)
Duty and Fruits of Brotherly Love 1 John 4:7 with Dr. Peter Masters
From the warning against false teachers, the apostle turns again to the great duty of love to fellow believers, providing fourteen compelling reasons (with benefits) for honoring this obligation. Here love is defined, its actions and activities listed, and the reasons surveyed.
Do Muslims and Christians Worship the Same God? NO! (Click HERE to find out why.)
The natural will is cold, hard iron, which cannot be hammered into form, but the renewed will, like molten metal, is soon molded by the hand of [God’s] grace. In the fleshy heart there is a tenderness of the affections.
The hard heart does not love the Redeemer, but the renewed heart burns with affection towards Him. The hard heart is selfish and coldly demands, "Why should I weep for sin? Why should I love the Lord?"
But the heart of flesh says;
"Lord, You know that I love You; help me to love You more!"
Many are the privileges of this renewed heart; " 'Tis [It is] here the [Holy] Spirit dwells, 'tis here that Jesus rests. " It is fitted to receive every spiritual blessing, and every blessing comes to it. It is prepared to yield every heavenly fruit to the honor and praise of God, and therefore the Lord delights in it.
A tender heart is the best defense against sin, and the best preparation for heaven. A renewed heart stands on its watchtower [on guard] looking for the coming of the Lord Jesus.
Have you [Do you have] this heart of flesh?

THE INFERIOR CRITICAL TEXT:
The Incomplete and unsealed codices of Sinaiticus and Vaticanus do not pretend to be majority texts, [Original Masoretic Hebrew and the Greek Textus Receptus]. Sinaiticus and Vaticanus present variant, ambiguous and erroneous readings rather than that of the well-established and settled texts. They disagree often with one another as well as with the settled majority texts. Thus, an attempt to create a pretext that will continue to justify a never-ending demand for additional editions and interpretations. These unsettled differences and bias in certain sectarian doctrine [dogma] have led to the production of multiple “modern” editions with ambiguities, many variant readings and confusion from the explosion of unending, new editions.
Profit-driven publishers have embraced such an economic windfall to sell a continual flow of “new and better” English edition of The Bible. They give too little attention to the fidelity and accuracy already settled [in heaven] in majority manuscripts of the Masoretic Hebrew and the Greek Textus Receptus.
Psalm 119:89-90
89 Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations:
thou hast established the earth, and it abideth [abides].
God, Himself, providentially protects and preserves His Word. His Word is the God-breathed, self-authenticating, immutable [unchanging and unchangeable], eternal, inerrant, infallible, infinite and all-powerful Word, settled in heaven. GOD is not the author of confusion.

WHO IS THE GOD OF THE BIBLE?
by David Hocking
WHAT ARE HIS NAMES?
(1 One) His Name is INCOMPREHENSIBLE!
Exodus 3:13-15 “13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.”
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Authorized (King James) Version
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high, I cannot attain unto it.”
(2 Two) His Name is INFINITE!
Psalm 145:1-3
1 I will extol thee, my God, O king;
and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
2 Every day will I bless thee;
and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
and his greatness is unsearchable.
Romans 11:33
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
(3 Three) His Name is INCORRUPTABLE!
(two issues: holy and eternal)
Psalm 72:17
“His name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in Him: all nations shall call Him blessed.”
Psalm 99:3
“Let them praise Thy great and terrible name; for it is Holy.”
Psalm 111:9
“Holy and reverend is His name.”
Psalm 135:13
Thy Name, O LORD endureth for ever; and Thy memorial, O LORD, throughout all generations.”
Psalm 145:21
“Let all flesh bless His holy Name for ever and ever.”
(4 Four) His name is IMMUTABLE! [Unchanged and unchangeable]
Malachi 3:6
“For I am the LORD, I change not.”
Hebrews 6:18
That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have (1) a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon (2) the hope set before us.”
(5 Five) His name is INCOMPARABLE! [Without Equal]
Deuteronomy 4:35
“Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightiest know that the LORD He is God; there is none else beside Him.”
Deuteronomy 4:39
Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.
(6 Six) His Name is INDESCRIBABLE! [No description adequately describes HIM]
El, Eloah, Elyon, Elohim, Adon, Adonai, - Yah, Yahveh
(The Names for GOD used 10,952 times in the Bible!)
____________________________________
To Abraham – His Name is El Shaddai [God Almighty, Abundant Provider, Provider of More than Enough]
Genesis17:1 ,
And when Abram was ninety and nine (99) years old, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I Am, the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

Why Cults, False Teachers and Heretics have tried to delete 1 John 5:7
from the Bible.
By Dr. Phil Stringer

1 John 5:7 Is The Great Trinitarian Proof Text of The Bible. (For The immutable Doctrine of the Trinity.)
________________________________
By Dr. David Sorenson
In addition to overwhelming evidence of authenticity from the 5,321 Majority Text Greek manuscripts, this link gives Translational Evidence that proves the age of the Textus Receptus to be older than the Codices Sinaiticus, Vaticanus and Alexandrus.
(Inferior Greek sources used in Critical Text translations.)
This includes Westcott and Hort, Nestle and Aland and the Codices Sinaiticus and *Vaticanus.
*The final Greek Text so deemed, authorized and sanctioned by the Catholic Church and The Vatican.

The Lord Jesus *Christ [The*Anointed Messiah]
was supernaturally Fathered by the Holy Ghost, and born of a teen-aged virgin girl named Mary 2026 years ago in Bethlehem of Judea.
He was crucified, and His lifeless body was placed in a tomb. After three days, GOD brought Him back to life again, and raised HIM from the dead victorious over sin, death and the grave.
He is GOD’S Incarnate WORD and Everlasting SACRIFICE, The LAMB of GOD, [THE WORD of GOD made flesh.] The CHURCH is the BODY of *Christ,
*[The MESSIAH.]
[The CHURCH] is His espoused [Legally Obligated] Bride, for whom HE will come again to consummate the Marriage in the Marriage Supper of the Lamb in the Preserved and Protected Words of GOD.
These WORDS are God-Breathed, [Spoken] Eternal WORDS spoken by Almighty GOD. The same GOD who calls Himself “I AM”, is Omni-Lingual, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Immutable, All-Wise, Omnipresent, Eternally and Supremely Holy. He is the One-and-Only Triune, Three-in-One GOD.
“I and my Father are one”. John 10:30
________________________________
1 John 5:7 Is the fundamental scriptural basis for the doctrine and essential tenet of the Trinity. [The Triune, [Three-in-One] GOD in-Three Persons (This verse has been omitted or Changed to diminish the authority and the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ or has been Removed entirely from all Critical Text translations by apostates that hold to the untenable goal of False Doctrine that gives rise to all manner of Cults, False Teaching, Heresies, false Prophets, Agnostics, Gnostics, Atheists and Pagans.
Therefore, The incarnate WORD of GOD, [Jesus *Christ
(*The Anointed MESSIAH) and His Father are ONE.] John 10:30
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, [Jesus Christ] and the Holy Ghost: and
THESE THREE ARE ONE. John 10:30
8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, [Holy Ghost] and the Water [Life of the Father], and the Blood; [The Sacrificial Blood of Jesus Christ]: and these three AGREE IN ONE. 9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son, [The LORD Jesus *Christ
*(The Anointed Messiah)].
GOD calls Himself “I AM” and Jesus Christ is The WORD made Flesh, GOD’s WORD is infinite and will endure FOREVER, from Eternity Past through the never-ending Eternal Future.

The Traditional Text: It's History & Manifestation
By Dr. David Sorenson
In addition to evidence of authenticity from the 5,321 Majority Text manuscripts, this link presents Translational Evidence that the Traditional Text is Inerrant, Infallible and is the Inspired [Word-by-Word, GOD-Breathed Greek Text that moved the Prophets and Apostles to write precisely the Greek and Hebrew words they were told to write by the Holy Ghost]
The Traditional Text. Length: (33:56 minutes)
The Traditional Greek Text was printed, not written by Desiderius Erasmus and was used in the FIRST Christian Church at Antioch. It was later called The Received Text [vis. Latin: The Textus Receptus TR].
Over Five Billion King James (1769 Edition) Bibles, [NOT the NEW King James Version which is based on the inferior Critical Greek Text] account for more sales world-wide than all other version or edition of the Holy Bible combined.
This is more than all other Bible Versions and Editions put-together.
______________________________________
By Dr. David Sorenson
…So, Dr. Sorenson, “I hear You are King James Only.”
No, I’m Traditional Text only. But if you come to the view and the conviction of being Traditional Text only, you will be Only King James.
The issue is not translational.
Marketing ploys by publishing companies with little basis in reality would have us to believe that the new versions are:
-
Easier to read.
-
More modern.
-
More accurate (Not true)
The truth is that the KJV remains The most popular. (is still the most popularly read Bible in America). Over five billion copies of the King James (1769) is greater than all the other versions and editions combined.
The issue comes down to the textual issue. By That, I refer to the underlying Greek text. I guess we could say texts, plural but particularly that of the New Testament. On the one hand is the Traditional Text from which the only major English translation is the King James Version of the Bible. The Traditional Text.
On the other hand, is the Critical Text sometimes called the eclectic text from whence all the other translations come. And some will say well there really is no difference between them. The difference you could amount to is just the footnotes in the bottom of a page. (This is Not true) He was not dishonest but just repeating what someone had told him.

Thank you, Lord, for DailySpurgeon.com a website given by You to encourage and support personal devotions to the Lord Jesus. This ministry started with sending e-mails of Faith’s Checkbook by Charles H. Spurgeon to Jon Edward Riley and others he would add..
Jon was called home by his loving Father in Heaven on January 16, 2021.
His memory is honored here, giving honor to whom honor is due. We pray that through this and all other instrumentalities that God may effect, many will be born again, challenged, encouraged, and supported to grow in personal devotion to the Lord Jesus Christ while being conformed to His image; that they might be the firstborn among many brethren..

A PRAYER OF GRATITUDE: (Tribute to the BRAVE) by Jon Edward Riley,
(February 12, 1971- January16, 2021)
From an Indigenous, Irish, well beloved All-American son giving a prayer of gratitude to the Lord for a “ Heart of Freedom”
INDIAN SCOUT POST NO 1 Burial grounds at White Shield, North Dakota.
… a compassionate prayer of gratitude, thanking the Lord for the Military Service of Native-American Scouts serving the United States of America. …the land of the free and the home of the Brave.
________________________________________
Jon loved to say, “I’m a blood bought, born-again child of God!” to anyone he happened to meet.
… Jon’s testimony is from one who, by grace through faith was forever accepted in the Beloved; who’s loving ways brought the good news of Jesus to many. and one who is present with the LORD in glory forever. One with whom we’ll one day meet again.
Amen.
Jon would sometimes just sing-out some of the following songs on the way to church, or sometimes just singing along with the Elvis Gospel CD that was always in our F-150’s CD player while riding with his Dad or,
Best of all, when an inspired, spontaneous praise from the Lord would just pop out from his joyful and loving heart.

The Life of King James (Click Here forText)
ORIGINAL SACRED LITERATURE:
The Pilgrim’s Progress, by John Bunyan
Beginning at its original publication in 1678 it has NEVER been out of print.
"All the flowers in God's garden are double." There is no single mercy. You may think you have but one mercy, but you shall find it to be a whole cluster of mercies. It is abounding mercy. Millions have received it, yet far from its being exhausted, it is as fresh, as full, and as free as ever.
It is unfailing mercy. It will never leave you. If mercy is your friend, mercy will be with you in temptation to keep you from yielding; with you in trouble to prevent you from sinking; with you [in] living to be the light and life of your countenance; and with you [in] dying to be the joy of your soul when earthly comfort is ebbing fast [slipping away].
You may want to read the daily selections as a bed time story for you and your little ones. .
It’s the world’s most famous allegory and is the all-time, world-wide best seller second only to the Bible. Some believe it to be the world’s first novel written in English.
It will bless, encourage and instruct pilgrims (readers and seekers) of all ages for a life-time.
My Lord “Will-be-will” [Mr. Self-will] is a great blusterer, [one who roars loudly with empty threats, menaces or protests] and it is hard to subject him to God's will; but when the heart of flesh is given, the will quivers like an aspen leaf in every breath of heaven, and bows like a willow in every breeze of God's Spirit.
Mr. Self-will is a personification in The Pilgrim’s Progress
(The world’s most widely read and most famous Allegory written by John Bunyan in 1678 and has NEVER been out of print.)
