DAILY SPURGEON and DEVOTION  for November 8h   *A.D. 2026 written and calendared by Charles Spurgeon.

Please click this LINK  for Daily Spurgeon.tv.

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 the 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.

THE TRADITIONAL [GREEK] TEXT (ALSO KNOWN AS THE RECEIVED TEXT [TEXTUS RECEPTUS and TR]  VERSUS THE INFERIOR \CRITICAL [GREEK] TEXT.

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.”

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.

DR. ROBERT G. LEE, former pastor of Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis Tennessee is recorded here, preaching  the remarkably inspired  SERMON
 “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 8th *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 ?”

Bridge to Babylon The 1881 Textual Criticism Controversy  (Click Here)
(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.

1 John 4:1-3

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 8th *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.

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?

*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.

 

1 John 4:1-3

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.

 

Ephesians 5:30-32

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 15, Part 1 of 9 November 8th  THE PEACE OF GOD.


      OUR God, [Father in Heaven] we stand not afar off [not far away] as Israel did in Sinai, nor does a veil hang dark between Thy [Your] face and ours; but the veil is rent [ripped open] by the death of our Divine Lord and Mediator, Jesus Christ, and in His name we come up to the mercy seat all blood besprinkled, and here we present our prayers and our praises accepted in Him.

 

We do confess that we are guilty; we bow our heads and confess that we have broken Thy [Your] law and the covenant [sacred promise] of which it is a part. Didst Thou deal [had You dealt] with us under the covenant of works none of us could stand [satisfy it]. We must confess that we deserve Thy wrath [anger] and to be banished for ever from Thy [Your] presence. But Thou hast [You have] made a new covenant, [promise] and we come under its divine shadow; we come in the name of Jesus [the Christ, the Messiah].

 

He is our High Priest; He is our righteousness; He is the well-beloved in whom Thou art [You are] well pleased.  Holy Spirit, teach us how to pray. Let us know what we should pray for as we ought [should].

 

Our first prayer is:

 

Be Thou [You be]  adored;

Reign Thou [That You reign] over the whole earth;

Hallowed be Thy name [That Your name is Holy].

We Submit ourselves to Thy [Your] gracious government [authority].

We wish especially that in the hearts of Thine [Your] own,  there may be an Intense Love for Thee [You]
Perfect obedience to Thee [You].

[We ask this In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.]

 

(Attachment: PRAYER 15.doc)

 

ANECDOTE 99:  November 8th  A WORLDLY CHRISTIAN.
No man can serve God and mammon [love of money] because there is not enough life in the heart to serve the two.

 

Alas! [Oh my!] many people try this, and they fail both ways. I have known a man who has tried to let some of his heart run into the world, and another part he allowed to drip into the church, and the effect has been this: When he came into the church he was suspected of hypocrisy. “ Why,” they said, “if he were truly with us, could he have done yesterday what he did, and then come and profess so much to-day ?”  The church looks upon him as a suspicious one: or if he deceives them they feel he is not of much use to them, because they have not got all his heart. What is the effect of his conduct in the world? 

 

Why, [well] his religion is a fetter  [hand cuff] to him there.  The world will not have him, and the church will not have him; he wants to go between the two, and both despise him.

 

I never saw anybody try to walk on both sides of the street but a drunken man: he tried it, and it was very awkward work indeed; but I have seen many people in a moral point of view try to walk on both sides of the street, and I thought there was some kind of intoxication in them, or else they would have given it up as a very foolish thing.

 

 Now, if I thought the world and the pleasures thereof worth my seeking, I would just seek them and go after them, and I would not pretend to be religious; but if [because] Christ be Christ, and if [because] God be God, let us give our whole heart to him, and not go shares [share our heart] with the world.

 

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK November 8th  THE MAGNITUDE OF GRACE  
byC.H. Spurgeon 1834-1892 
 

-My grace is sufficient for thee; for my strength is made perfect in weakness
- 2 Corinthians12:9
 

- Bastate mi gracia; porque mi potencia en la flaqueza se perfecciona- 2 Corintios 12 
 

Our weakness should be prized [desired] as making room for divine [heavenly] strength. We might never have known the power of grace if we had not felt the weakness of [our] nature.

 

Blessed be the Lord for the thorn in the flesh [troubles and trials], and the messenger of Satan, when they drive us to the strength of God.  This is a precious word from our Lord’s own lip. It has made the writer laugh for joy.

 

God’s grace [is] enough for me! I should think it is. Is not the sky enough for the bird, and the ocean enough for the fish? The All-Sufficient is sufficient for my largest want. He who is sufficient for earth and Heaven is certainly able to meet the case of one poor worm like me. 

 

Let us, then, fall back upon our God and His grace. If He does not remove our grief He will enable us to bear it. His strength shall be poured into us till the worm shall thresh [gain benefit from] the mountains; and a nothing [nobody] shall be victor over all the high and mighty ones.

 

It is better for us to have God’s strength than our own; for if we were a thousand times as strong as we are, it would all amount to nothing in the face of the enemy; and if we could be weaker than we are, which is scarcely possible, yet we could do all things through [Jesus] Christ.


Prayer: Thank You Lord that  your grace is sufficient for me. Thank You that your strength is made perfect in [my] weakness. Help me to depend upon You in every circumstance.  I pray this in Your name, Lord Jesus, Amen.

MORNING November 8th  "AS YE HAVE RECEIVED CHRIST JESUS THE LORD.”  Colossians 2:6
 

—Por tanto, de la manera que habéis recibido al Señor Jesucristo¾  Colosenses 2:6
 

       THE life of faith is represented as receiving—an act which implies the very opposite of anything like merit [something earned or deserved]. It is simply the acceptance of a gift. As the earth drinks in the rain, as the sea receives the streams, as night accepts light from the stars, so we, giving noth­ing, partake freely of the grace of God.

 

The saints are not, by nature, wells or streams; they are but cisterns [water tanks] into which the living water flows; they are empty vessels into which God pours His salvation. The idea of receiv­ing implies a sense of realization, making the matter a reality. One cannot very well receive a shadow; we re­ceive that which is substantial: so is it in the life of faith, Christ becomes real to us.

 

While we are without faith, Jesus is a mere [just a] name to us—a person who lived a long while ago, so long ago that His life is only a history to us now!

 

By an act of faith Jesus becomes a real per­son in the consciousness of our heart. But receiving also means grasping or getting possession of. The thing which I receive becomes my own: I appropriate to myself that which is given.

 

When I receive Jesus  [Christ] He becomes my Savior and so much mine that neither life nor death shall be able to rob me of Him. All this is to receive Christ: to take Him as God's free gift, to realize Him in my heart, and to appropriate  [take possession of] Him as mine.
     

 

Salvation may be described as the blind receiving sight, the deaf receiving hearing, the dead receiving life; but we have not received only these blessings, we have received Christ Jesus Himself.

 

It is true that He gave us life from the dead; He gave us pardon of sin; He gave us imputed righteousness. These are all precious things, but we are not content with them; we have received Christ Himself. The Son of God has been poured into us, and we have received Him and appropriated  [possessed] Him. 

 

What a *heart-full Jesus must be, for heaven itself cannot contain Him!

EVENING   November 8th  "THE MASTER SAITH, WHERE IS THE GUEST-CHAMBER, WHERE I SHALL EAT THE PASSOVER WITH MY DISCIPLES    Mark 14:14
 

— El Maestro dice: ¿Dónde está el aposento donde he de comer la pascua con mis discípulos?

— Marcos 14:14

 

       AT the time of the Passover,  Jerusalem was one great inn. [Lodging was provided by everyone that could]  Each householder  [head of household] had invited his own friends, but no one had invited the Savior  [the Lord Jesus], and He had no dwelling of His own. It was by His own supernatural power that He found Himself an upper room in which to keep the feast. It is so even to this day.

 

Jesus is not received among the sons of men save  [except] only where by His supernatural power and grace He makes the heart anew [gives a new born-again life].  All doors are open enough to the prince of dark­ness, but Jesus must clear a way for Himself or lodge in the streets.

 

It was through the mysterious power exerted by our Lord that the householder raised no question, but at once cheerfully and joyfully opened his guest-chamber [guest room]. Who he was and what he was, we do not know, but he readily accepted the honor the Redeemer proposed to confer on him.

 

In like manner it is still discovered who are the Lord's chosen and who are not; for when the gospel comes to some, they fight against it and will not have it, but where men receive it, welcom­ing it, this is a sure indication that there is a secret work going on in the soul and that God has chosen them for eternal life.

 

Are you willing, dear reader, to receive Christ? Then there is no difficulty in the way. Christ will be your guest; His own power is working with you, making you willing. What an honor to entertain  [to host] the Son of God! The heaven of heavens cannot contain Him, and yet He condescends [lowers himself]  to find a house within our hearts!

 

We are not worthy that He should come under our roof, but what an unutterable [unspeakable] privilege when He condescends [chooses] to enter! For then He makes a feast and causes us to feast with Him on royal dainties; we sit at a banquet where the viands [foods] are immortal and give im­mortality to those who feed thereon.  

 

Blessed among the sons of Adam is he who entertains the angels' LORD 

 [The Lord of all, the Lord Jesus Christ.]

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.

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:

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?

[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

ל Lamed

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.

1 Corinthians 14:33

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.


Psalm 139:6

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 The Traditional  Greek Text Also Known As The Received Text [Latin: Textus Receptus] TR is Inspired, Inerrant and Immutable.

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.
______________________________________

 The Critical Text vs. The Traditional Text
(Also Known As The Received Text , The Textus Receptus  TR , and The Authorised Version AV and AKJV)

 

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.

A PRAYER OF GRATITUDE:  (Tribute to the BRAVE) by Jon Edward Riley,

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.)
