PRAYER 19, May 15th Part 5 of 11 GOD’S UNSPEAKABLE GIFT.
Today help Thy people to put on [clothe ourself with] Christ. May we live as those who are alive from the dead, for He is the quickening [life giving] Spirit; and may we feel Him to be so. Is any part of us still dead, Lord quicken [enliven] it.
May the life which has taken possession of our heart take possession of our head; may the brain be active in holy thought; may our entire being, indeed, respond to the life of [Jesus] Christ, and may we live in newness of life.
[We ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.]

ANECDOTE 284: May 15th THE FRAILTY OF THE HUMAN BODY.
Paul was accustomed to make tents [he made tents] . I do not suppose he ever manufactured any very large or sumptuous ones probably he did not own capital enough for that, but he was a tent worker and mender. The use of tents was common enough among the Roman people in Paul’s day.
The gentry [wealthy ones] delighted in [delighted to have] bright pavilions which they could set up at pleasure, but the commoner folk found pleasure in spending a part of their time under canvas.
Whilst he was sitting writing this letter it is most likely that Paul had a tent or two to repair lying near his hand, and this suggested to him the language of the verse before us. When a tent is newly placed it is but a frail structure, very far removed from the substantiality of a house; in that respect it is exactly like this feeble corporeal frame [body] of ours, which is crushed before [crushed by] the moth. Paul felt that his body would not need any great force to overthrow it; it was like the tent in the Midianite’s dream, Judges 7:13 which only needed to be struck by a barley cake, and lo! it lay along [was knocked down].
A house of solid masonry may need a crowbar and a pick to start [loosen] its stones from their places, but feebler tools will soon overturn a tent and make a ruin of it.
The body is liable to dissolution from causes so minute as to be imperceptible as a breath of foul air, an atom of poisonous matter, a trifle, a mere nothing, may end this mortal life.
I hope that you and I duly remember the frailty of our bodies.

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK May 15th GOD S HIGH PLACES by C.H. Spurgeon 1834 - 1892
-I will set him [a believer] on high because he hath known my name- Psalm 91:14
-Pondrelo en alto, por cuanto ha conocido mi nombre -Salmos 91:14
Does the Lord say this to me? Yes, if I have known His name. Blessed be the Lord I am no stranger to Him. I have tried [tested] Him, and proved Him, and known Him, and, therefore, do I trust Him.
I know His name as a sin-hating God, for by His Spirit’s convincing power I have been taught that He will never wink at [overlook] evil. But I also know Him as the sin-pardoning God in Christ Jesus, for He has forgiven me all trespasses. His name is faithfulness, and I know it, for He has never forsaken me though my troubles have multiplied upon me.
This knowledge is a gift of grace, and the Lord makes it to be the reason why He grants another grace-gift, namely, setting [being placed] on high. This is grace upon grace.
Observe that if we climb on high, the position may be dangerous; but if the Lord sets [places] us there, it is safe. He may raise us to great usefulness, to eminent experience, to success in service, to leadership among workers, to a father’s place among the little ones.
If He does not do this, He may set us on high by near [close, intimate] fellowship, clear insight, holy triumph, and gracious anticipation of eternal glory.
When God sets us on high, Satan himself cannot pull us down.
Oh, that this may be our case all through this [and every] day!
Prayer: Thank you Lord that You will set me on high because I have known Your name. Place and keep me in You, Lord Jesus because I am needy and without You, I can do nothing. I pray this in Your name, Lord Jesus, Amen.

MORNING May 15th "ALL THAT BELIEVE ARE JUSTIFIED." —Acts 13:39
—Es justificado todo aquel que creyere. —Hechos 13:39
THE believer in [Jesus] Christ receives a present justification. Faith does not produce this fruit by-and-by [before long], but now. So far as justification is the result of faith, it is given to the soul in the moment when it closes with [Jesus] Christ, and accepts Him as its all in all. Are they who stand before the throne of God justified now?
So are we as truly and as clearly justified as they who walk in white and sing melodious praises to celestial [heavenly] harps.
The thief upon the cross was justified the moment that he turned the eye of faith to Jesus; and Paul, the aged, after years of service, was not more justified than was the thief with no service at all.
We are today accepted in the Beloved, today absolved from sin, today acquitted at the bar of God. Oh, soul-transporting thought!
There are some clusters of Eshcol's vine [the best grapes] which we will not be able to gather until we enter heaven; but this is a bough [vine] which runs over the wall. This is not as the corn [grain] of the land that we can never eat until we cross the Jordan; but this is part of the manna [food from heaven] in the wilderness, a portion of our daily nutriment with which God supplies us in our journeying to and fro [back and forth].
We are now —even now pardoned [forgiven]; even now are our sins put away; even now we stand in the sight of God accepted as though we had never been guilty.
"There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus."
There is not a sin in the Book of God, even now, against one of His people. Who dares to lay anything to their charge? There is neither speck, nor spot, nor wrinkle, nor any such thing remaining on any one believer in the matter of justification in the sight of the Judge of all the earth.
Let present privilege awaken us to present duty, and now, while life lasts,
let us spend and be spent for our sweet Lord Jesus.
________________________________________
EVENING May 15th "MADE PERFECT. " —Hebrews 12:23
—Hechos perfectos —Hebreos 12:23
RECOLLECT [remember] that there are two kinds of perfection the Christian needs
—the perfection of justification in the person of Jesus, and
—the perfection of sanctification wrought [done] in him by the Holy Spirit.
At present, corruption yet remains even in the breasts of the [true believer]
experience soon teaches us this.
Within us are still lusts and evil imaginations. But I rejoice to know that the day is coming when God shall finish the work He has begun; and He will present my soul, not only perfect in Christ, but perfect through the Spirit, without spot or blemish, or any such thing.
Can it be true that this poor sinful heart of mine is to become holy even as God is holy? Can it be that this spirit, which often cries,
"0 wretched [horrible] man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this sin and death?"
Who will get rid of sin and death—that I will have no evil things to vex [trouble] my ears, and no unholy thoughts to disturb my peace?
Oh, happy hour!
May it be hastened [hurried along]! When I cross the Jordan, the work of sanctification will be finished; but not until that moment will I even claim perfection in myself. Then [and only then] my spirit will have its last baptism in the Holy Spirit's fire. I long to die to receive that last and final purification which will usher me into heaven.
Not an angel more pure than I will be, for I will be able to say, in a double sense,
"I am clean," through Jesus' blood, and through the Spirit's work.
Oh, how should we extol [praise] the power of the Holy Ghost in thus making us fit to stand before our Father in heaven!
Yet let not the hope of perfection hereafter make us content with imperfection now.
If it does this, our hope cannot be genuine; for a good hope is a purifying thing, even now. The work of grace must be
abiding in us now or it cannot be perfected then.
Let us pray to "be filled with the Spirit [The Holy Ghost],"
that we may bring forth increasingly the fruits of righteousness.

PLEASE VIEW THE FOLLOWING VIDEO TO DETERMINE WHETHER YOUR PREFERRED VERSION OF THE BIBLE HAS BEEN AND IS IS PROTECTED AND PRESERVED BY GOD AS INSPIRED [GOD-BREATHED,
WORD FOR WORD], INNERANT, INFALLIBLE, IMMUTABLE AND HOLY

(2 hrs. 49 mins.)
This video presents historical evidence explaining the explosion of over 100 published English versionsof the Bible. This continuing attempt to replace, add or take away from the 1769 King James Version of the Holy Bible do notprevail because GOD Himself preserves and protects His Holy Scripture from all heresy, blasphemy, confusion and error.
Note: The King James Version does follow the Greek text of the Textus Receptus, but a Greek Text fabricated by Westcott and Hort and is therefore inferior to the trustworthy 1769 [1611] King James Version, theKJV!

SACRED LITERATURE:
_______________________________
Jesus Christ [Messiah] (Anointed King)] the LORD GOD was born of a virgin 2025 years ago, was crucified, then rose from the dead, victorious over sin, death and the grave and is here in the flesh from GOD as His Church, The Body of Christ and will live forever, time without end and He, Himself, is coming again.
_____________________________________________
*A.D. Does NOT mean after death as is commonly believed. It is a Latin abbreviation
for anno Domani (It means “Year of our Lord”.
BC/AD versus BCE/CE Is there a difference?​
Yes. Stand for the Truth, Won’t you?
Jesus Christ [Messiah] (Anointed King)] the LORD GOD was born of a virgin 2025 years ago, was crucified, then rose from the dead, victorious over sin, death and the grave and is here in the flesh from GOD as His Church, The Body of Christ and will live forever, time without end and He, Himself, is coming again.
A.D. did not and does NOT mean “After Death” as many erroneously now think. It actually abbreviates Anno Domini, a Latin phrase adopted into English that literally means “Year of our Lord”. It has been used together with B.C. Before Christ for centuries.
B.C.E is not a synonym for B.C. (Before Christ)] It is not the same thing. Not even close.
B.C.E. / C.E or B.C. /A.D. What’s the difference?
B.C.E. (BEFORE COMMON ERA [or BEFORE CURRENT ERA] ― Anything to avoid all reference or mention of anything CHRISTIAN by atheist and anti-Christians and to remove A.D. [Anno Domini] and B.C. [Before Christ] from being used.
The argument here, claims to have a neutral point of view that would remove all reference to Jesus Christ by omitting the use of A.D Ano Domini and B.C. Before ChristThis argument brings forward a faulty if not egregious hypothesis. Without consideration of a person’s religious views analysis of the hypothesis of a neutral point of view (NPOV) must be made.
What is A NEUTRAL point of view? Such a fool’s errand would argue that a point of view could set forth a valid, genuine, authentic and simultaneously be neutral. What? This defies logic. A neutral point of view, were it possible, is no point of view at all. Rather, it’s illogical and by applying simple common sense, impossible. Anytime a point of view is combined, confused or blended with another one so that the properties are clouded, weakened or confused the actual definite and certain POV is lost and any rational adherence or support for it is now moot. A Neutral point of view exists only in the imagination of those who prefer confusion to a true, authentic, genuine, robust and proven point of a verifiable fact.
A neutral point of view, were it possible, would be, at best, illogical, unattainable, indefensible and irresponsible. The king of oxymorons.
Therefore, the mere consideration of an imagined but impossible and unattainable neutral point of view (NPOV) is ludicrous. A point of view cannot be NEUTRAL. An authentic point of view cannot be neutral, or ambiguous, but must clearly advance a singular, definite and certain point of view (POV). It cannot be both a POV and neutral. A neutral point of view is a logical impossibility. A neutral (POV), were it possible, would ignore the historical fact of Jesus Christ’s birth. The pretense of seeking a neutral point of view is therefore misleading and disingenuous.
The Lord Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh,
was born of a virgin 2025 years ago.
He’s alive today, has always existed as God’s eternal and everlasting Word,
and will soon return for his bride, the Church
[The body of all redeemed believers in Jesus Christ].
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit,
believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: for I am God and there is none else.
You are invited to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior and Lord and to follow Him in believer’s baptism.
Jesus came from Galilee to Jordan to be baptized by John the Baptist. But, John forbad [refused] Him and said, “I have need to be baptized of You and [yet] you are coming to me?” [for baptism] And Jesus answering him said, “Suffer it to be so [Do it] now: for thus it becometh us [is beautifully fitting and expected of us] to fulfil all righteousness.”
Baptism is not a requirement for salvation but it is the willing desire of all believers to demonstrate agreement and consistency with the righteousness of preaching Repentance and Baptism by John the Baptist and obedience to the scriptural teaching. The issue of baptism is therefore not an issue of salvation but of obedience and of fulfilling all righteousness.
Worshiping Him in Spirit and in truth will spring-up and be manifested in a sense of gratitude. Such worship can come through prayer, Bible reading, scriptural meditation and study. Fellowship in a local church body, hearing gospel preaching and singing of sacred hymns and spiritual songs are also acts of worship and reflects an active discipleship.
To this purpose, DailySpurgeon, is offered as a reliable, dependable and effective resource.
It is not intended, were it possible to take the place of fellowship or congregational worship in a local body of believers.
“Study to show yourself approved unto God, a worker that needs not be ashamed, rightly dividing [accurately comprehending and sharing] the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15
Trusting in and following the Lord Jesus Christ is our chief purpose. We trust Him for salvation, guidance, strength and our eternal destiny according to His perfect will. We follow Him in soul winning through DailySpurgeon or any other instrumentality He may choose. We invite and encourage non-believers to turn away from sin, look to Him and be saved. We trust that believers (old and new) will benefit from its use knowing that He will sustain, guide and build us up as we are conformed to His image by the power of the Holy Spirit.

SERMON: The Metropolitan Tabernacle (Charles Spurgeon 1834-1892)
The Strategy of Resurrection John Ch. 20 with Dr. Peter Masters, Pastor
It is clear the resurrection was completely unexpected by the disciples. Here is how it came, first by gentle intimation, then with a caution, then as a proof of Christ's successful atonement, and then as a command to trust in the living Lord.
Mission and Invitation
The aim of this work is to save souls, strengthen and encourage believers in the Word, proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ as we serve those in need. We believe the Bible is God’s revealed Word and that through His Word He guides us as individuals and as a local body of believers. We are resolved, God helping us, to study, meditate and pray to rightly divide God’s revealed Word holding it as the final authority in all things.
The purpose of The John Mark Publishing Company is to make known the Gospel of The Lord Jesus Christ to every creature. We aim to love the brethren, win souls, and build-up of the Body of Christ, [The Universal Church of true believers]. We purpose to publish the Good News of Jesus Christ and to proclaim (preach) HIM everywhere. We purpose also to serve everyone, especially those in the household of faith..
We believe the Bible is God’s everlasting, inspired (God breathed) Word. By His Word He guides us individually and corporately through His local Church.
God’s Word [The Bible] is the driving essence of all our work. To this end we annotate and reprint, unabridged, the sermons and publications from The Holy Bible that were preached and taught through Charles Haddad Spurgeon.

SPECIAL SPURGEON SERMON: “Why Men Cannot Believe in Christ”
[Christ Jesus]
URL: https://youtu.be/hHF1r74XaTQ?si=czhwYSJP9H53XqCy
Note: This Sermon was referenced in the Men’s Bible Study on Wednesday, August 14th 2024 at South Shores Church and is featured here as an unabridged Audio recording of Sermon # 1245 that was preached originally by Charles Spurgeon in 1875 from his home church, The Metropolitan Tabernacle, London, U.K.
_____________________________________
Can You trust this website?
Is it of God?
Is it trustworthy?
Beloved ones, don’t be believing every spirit [everything you hear] but [continually] be testing the spirit whether it is of God: because many false prophets have come out in the world. Here’s how you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit [voice] that confesseth [confesses, says] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh, having come out of God, is of God: and every spirit [voice] 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 ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Hence, I confess [declare and affirm] "Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh."
_________________________________
GOD’S WORD made Flesh has existed from eternity past [FOREVER] as the WORD of God. John 1:1-2
And He was born of a virgin 2,024 years ago in Bethlehem, the WORD made flesh,
is alive today, and is coming soon for His *bride, the Church
[*All redeemed believers].
"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit,
believed on in the world, received up into glory."
Let me invite you to trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord and to publicly confess [declare] Him as such before men [publicly]. He will therefore be able to acknowledge and confess you before His Father in Heaven. He is The God of Abraham. Isaac and Jacob. Following your public confession, You also invited to follow Him in believer’s baptism by immersion.
Jesus came from Galilee t o Jordan to be baptized by John the Baptist. But, John forbad [refused] Him and said, “I have need to be baptized of You and [yet] you are coming to me?” [for baptism] And Jesus answering him said, “Suffer it to be so [Allow this]: for thus it becometh [is fitting and right for] us to fulfil all righteousness.”
Baptism is not required for salvation. Remember, what Jesus said to the thief on the cross, who acknowledged Jesus’ innocence and said to him:
“Remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
And then, Jesus said to him:
“Verily [Truly] I say to you, Today you shall be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43
Baptism pictures the Lord’s death, burial and resurrection and the believer’s new birth.
It bears witness with John the Baptist who preached that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand and exhorted Repentance from sin and the Baptism of atonement. Therefore, the act of baptism is not required for salvation but it is an act of obedience to fulfil all righteousness.
Romans 6:3-5:
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.

Remembering Jon Edward Riley (1971-2021) who would sometimes just bust-out singing the following songs; sometimes, on the way to church sometimes just singing along with the Elvis Gospel CD that was always kept in the truck’s CD player or, even better, a song the Lord would spontaneously put in his joyful and loving heart.

…Jon always said “Later”; [see-ya-later] instead of “good bye”. It was his standard greeting to bid farewell … He would never say “good-bye”. Now, as we remember the sound of him saying “Later”, it rings very true as to its new and deeper meaning and it brings a joyfulness and comfort to the hearts of those he loved so well; those who love him still and will forever more.
… we are reminded of the promise of the Hymn:
’Till We Meet Again. Amen.
