MARTIN LUTHER’S LIFE
He was used of God to Translate the NEW TESTAMENT into German in 1521-1522 from the Source Text of the 1519 Second Edition of Erasmus’s Greek New Testament later known as The Textus Receptus.

DAILY SPURGEON and DEVOTION for October 15th *A.D. 2026 written and calendared by Charles Spurgeon.
King James the First of England Approved, Authorized, Commissioned and provided guidance for a new version of the Bible based upon the Bishop’s Bible (In which The Old Testament was translated from the original Hebrew and copied by hand [manuscript] by the Masorete Scribes. The Traditional [original, Received Greek Text] Text was followed in the translation of the New Testament. The King James Version of 1769 is Providentially preserved and protected and is the world’s most authoritative and most quoted, and most read Bible version ever with over 6 Billion extant copies. This is more than all the other versions and editions Combined and has become the Most Influential, faithful and best Bible ever.

Dr. Jeff Riddle makes a Case for the Providential Preservation of GOD’S WORD based upon the Traditional Text, also known as The Received Text, [The Textus Receptus, TR].

______________________________________________
—*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, said: '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 exact same same for both and the reference point is still the birth of [Jesus] Christ.
Dr. Doug Levesque presents the Historical account revealing why we should not rely on more than 1,100 dumbed- down English translations from the Inferior CRITICAL TEXT cobbled together by self appointed men who follow the enemy’s critical words in Genesis, “Hath God Said?”

Bridge to Babylon The 1881 Textual Criticism Controversy (Click Here)
(169 minutes. Video)[jM1]
“Bridge to Babylon” is a very thorough video Treatise of the explosion of over 1,100 English translations of the Bible. An expose of the continuous attempts to replace the Traditional [Old, NOT New] 1769 King James Version of God’s Holy, Inerrant, Infallible and Immutable Bible. All Attempts fail because GOD Himself providentially preserves and protects His Inspired [God Breathed/Spoken] Words from all heresy, blasphemy, confusion, error and misinterpretation .
Over six Billion extant (OLD 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.

A Memorial to John Michael’s *Dad:
The last words, spoken by John Michael’s beloved Daddy just before he (his Dad) was called home to be forever with the LORD.
*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 standard prayer before every meal, was always offered with all gravity, reverence and always heard 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 we can Discern between God’s Holy Ghost, Divine Spirit and the spirit of false teachers and the Antichrist:
Is this Website from God and therefore trustworthy?
God says in His WORD to try every spirit to discern [determine] whether they are of God, and therefore whether they should be believed and obeyed or not.
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 all [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 must hereby confess that
"Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh!” as the Body, The Bride of Christ; of His Church.

Anecdote 75: October 15th SUFFERING FOR CHRIST.
There was a certain king whose son was sent upon an errand to a far country, and when he came into that country, although he was the lawful prince of it, he found that the citizens would not acknowledge him. They mocked at him, jested at him, and took him and set him in the pillory, [locked him in a stock] and there they scoffed at him and pelted him with filth. Now, there was one in that country who knew the prince, and he alone stood up for him when all the mob was in tumult raring against him. And when they set him on high as an object of scorn, this man stood side by side with him to wipe the filth from that dear royal face; and when from cruel hands missiles in scorn were thrown, this man took his full share; and whenever he could he thrust himself before the prince to ward off the blows from him if possible, and to bear the scorn instead of him. Now it came to pass that after awhile the prince went on his way, and in due season the man who had been the prince’s friend was called to the king’s palace. And on a day when all the princes of the court were round about, and the peers and nobles of the land were sitting in their places, the king came to his throne and he called for that man, and he said, “Make way, princes and nobles! Make way! Here is a man more noble than you all, for he stood boldly forth with my son when he was scorned and scoffed at! Make way, I say, each one of you, for he shall sit at my right hand with my own son. As he took a share of his scorn, he shall now take a share of his honor.” And there sat princes and nobles who wished that they had been there, ay! envied the man who had been privileged to endure scorn and scoffing for the prince’s sake! You need not that I interpret the parable. May you make angels envious of you, if envy can ever pierce their holy minds. You can submit for Christ’s sake to sufferings which it is not possible for seraphim or cherubim to endure.
Faith’s Checkbook October 15th SUSTAINED BY FEEDING
-As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so
he that eateth me, even he shall live by me- John 6:57
-Como me envio el Padre viviente, y yo vivo por el Padre, asimismo el que me come, el tambien vivira por mi- Juan 6:57
We live by virtue of our union with the Son of God [Jesus Christ]. As God-man Mediator, the Lord Jesus lives by the self-existent [infinitely sovereign] Father who has sent Him, and in the same manner we live by the Saviour who has quickened [given life to] us. He who is the source of our life is also the sustenance [nourishment] of it. Living is sustained by feeding. We must support the spiritual life by spiritual food, and that spiritual food is the Lord Jesus. Not His life, or death, or offices, or work, or word alone, but Himself, as including all these. On Jesus, Himself, we feed.
This is set forth to us in the Lord s Supper, but it is actually enjoyed by us when we meditate upon our Lord, believe in Him with appropriating faith, take Him into ourselves by love, and assimilate Him by the power of the inner life. We know what it is to feed on Jesus, but we cannot speak it or write it. Our wisest course is to practice it, and to do so more and more. We are entreated to eat abundantly, and it will be to our infinite profit to do so when Jesus is our meat and our drink. Lord, I thank thee that this, which is a necessity of my new life, is also its greatest delight. So, I do at this hour feed on thee.
Prayer: Thank You dear Lord that the same way you are sent from the Father we are given life from You; You, who are our source of life are also the sustainer if it. I gratefully receive this promise for myself from You in your name, Lord Jesus, Amen. Please send names or e-mail addresses of anyone who would like to receive this daily message. Thank you.

MORNING October 15th "BUT WHO MAY ABIDE THE DAY OF HIS COMING?"— Malachi 3:2
—¿Y quién podrá sufrir el tiempo de su venida?— Malaquías 3:2
HIS first coming was without external pomp [fanfare] or show of power, and yet in truth there were few who could abide [withstand] its testing might [strength]. [King] Herod and all Jerusalem with him were stirred [moved] at the news of the wondrous birth. Those who supposed themselves to be waiting for Him, showed the fallacy [error] of their professions by rejecting Him when He came. His life on earth was a winnowing fan that tried [separated wheat from chaff, testing] the great heap of religious profession, and few enough could abide [withstand] the process. But what will His second advent [coming] be? What sinner can endure to think of it? "He shall smite [strike, hit] the earth with the rod [club] of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips shall He slay [kill] the wicked." When in His humiliation he did but say [He just said] to the soldiers, "I am He," [and] they fell backward; what will be the terror of His enemies when He shall more fully reveal Himself as the "I am?" If His death shook earth and darkened heaven, what shall be the dreadful splendor of that day when, as the living Savior, He shall summon [command with authority] the quick and dead before Him? 0 that the terrors of the Lord would persuade men to forsake their sins and kiss the Son lest He [so he might not] be angry! Though a lamb, He is yet the lion of the tribe of Judah rending [tearing] the prey in pieces; and though He breaks not the bruised reed [doesn’t offend the weak], yet will He break His enemies with a rod [club] of iron and dash [break] them in pieces like a potter's vessel [cup, bowl]. None of His foes shall bear up be fore the tempest of His wrath [anger], or hide themselves from the sweeping hail of His [righteous] indignation; but His beloved blood-washed people look for His appearing with joy and hope to abide [embrace] it without fear: to them He sits as a refiner [of precious metal] even now, and when He has tried them they shall
come forth as [pure] gold. Let us search ourselves this morning and make our calling and election sure, so that the coming of the Lord may cause no dark forebodings [dread] in our mind. 0 for grace to cast away all hypocrisy and to be found of Him sincere and without rebuke in the day of His appearing.
EVENING October 15th
"But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and
if thou redeem him not, then shalt thou break his neck." — Exodus 34:20
—Empero redimirás con cordero el primerizo del asno;
y si no lo redimieres, le has de cortar la cabeza.— Exodo 34:20
EVERY firstborn creature belonged to the Lord, but since the ass was unclean, it could not be presented in sacrifice. What then? Should it be allowed to go free from the universal law? By no means [not at all]. God allows no exceptions. The ass was His due [owed to God as a sacrifice], but He would not accept it; He would not abate [set aside] the claim, but yet He could not be pleased with the victim. No way of escape remained but redemption—the creature had to be saved by the substitution of a lamb in its place; or if not re deemed, it had to die. My soul, here is a lesson for you. That unclean animal is yourself; you are justly the property of the Lord who made you and preserves you, but you are so sinful that God will not, cannot, accept you. And it has come to this: the Lamb of God must stand in your stead or you must die eternally. Let all the world know of your gratitude to that spotless Lamb who has already bled for you and so redeemed you from the fatal curse of the law. Must it not sometimes have been a question with the Israelite which should die, the ass or the lamb? Would not the good man pause to estimate and compare? Assuredly there was no comparison between the value of the soul of man and the life of the Lord Jesus, and yet the Lamb dies and man the ass is spared. My soul, [Oh, my!] admire the boundless love of God to you and others of the human race. Worms are bought with the blood of the Son of the Highest! Dust and ashes redeemed with a price far above silver and gold! What a doom would have been mine had not plenteous [ample, sufficient] redemption been found! The breaking of the neck of the ass was but a momentary penalty, but who shall measure the wrath to come to which no limit can be imagined? Inestimably dear [unimaginably esteemed] is the glorious Lamb who has redeemed us from such a doom.
A Sinners Prayer October 15th
Come to Jesus by believing and (whole heartedly) praying a prayer like this:
“Lord Jesus, I’m a sinner. I’m lost and hopeless without You. I will never be able to save myself. Without You and your death on the cross I would spend eternity in Hell when I die.
I know that by doing my best or being good or justifying my own behavior as "good" or "OK" will never save me.
I look to You, alone Lord Jesus to save me.
I come to You right now, Lord Jesus. Please save me. I believe You died on the cross to take my place and to put my sin nature to death. I know You always keep your word. Please save me. You say that you won’t reject anyone who comes to You. I'm coming to You now. Thank You for saving me.
I give myself to You, Lord Jesus. I declare that You are my Savior and Lord. Please forgive me for all my sins. I’m sorry for every sin (bad thoughts, bad words and bad things I have done) and look to You to free me from the guilt and penalty of them, to keep me free from the power of sin and empower me overcome any temptation from sin’s presence. Thank you for forgiving all of my sins by dying on the cross and paying for my punishment. By nature and heritage I am a sinner, but now I'm clean by Your blood that you bled for me at Calvary [on the cross].
Thank you Lord Jesus that You loved me and died for me before I was born and that You love me now and will always love me and will never reject or turn your back on me.
Thank you Heavenly Father that You let me see myself as the sinner that I am. But, because You are good You have made a way I can be forgiven and have even given me the desire to come to You, turning away from my sin and to trusting in the Lord Jesus. You have forgiven me because He took my place and You have made it possible for me to be born again [from above].
You gave Your only begotten Son to, give up His life and die on the cross to pay my sin debt. Not just mine alone, but the sins of the whole world.
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 no condemnation. After You raised Him from the dead You gave Him a Glorified, [everlasting] physical body and after he was seen by many witnesses on earth You took Him up to reign with You in heaven.
I pray in the name, of Your only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ with a grateful heart. Thank You for saving me heavenly Father and for sending the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, the Spirit of Truth, for my guidance and solemn instruction into all truth., Amen.”
With all my heart, I thank you Lord Jesus for saving me.
I ask now that You live Your life through 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.
“The Bible, The Whole Bible and Nothing but the Bible” is an expression David Hocking expresses often.

TODAY’S 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?
[Pray and Ask for it now, won’t you?]

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.

Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

and his greatness is unsearchable.

Why Cults, False Teachers and Heretics have tried to delete 1 John 5:7
from the Bible.
By Dr. Phil Stringer
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 both the Codices Sinaiticus and Vaticanus,
(The Primary Greek sources used in all 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 Bound] Bride, for whom HE will come again to consummate their Marriage in the Marriag 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.

1 John 5:7 Is The Great Trinitarian Proof Text of The Bible. (That establishes the immutable Doctrine of the Trinity.)
Daniel Webster [Writer of the Webster’s Dictionary] was once asked. “Does it not bother you to believe in the Trinity since you cannot explain it?
His answer was, “What would bother me would be to have a God so small that I could fully explain Him.”

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.. Romans 13:7 Romans 8:28-29
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.)
