DAILY SPURGEON and DEVOTION for October 9th *A.D. 2026 written and calendared by Charles Spurgeon
The Providential Preservation and Protection of God’s inspired WORD is manifested in The 1769 Edition of The [OLD] King James Version of The Bible: It’s Immutable! [God Breathed and will never change]s
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.
Posted on 10/9/2026:
Dr. Jeff Riddle makes a comprehensive Case for the IMMUTABILITY and the Providential Preservation of GOD’S WORD translated from 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 that reveals why we should not rely on dumbed- down versions from:

“Bridge to Babylon” is a very thorough video Treatise of the explosion of over 1,000 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 added together and continues to be the most quoted and most read Bible ever.

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.

And we take up [repeat] the echo.

ANECDOTE 69: October 9th CHRIST’S JOY IN SOUL-SAVING.
Some of you have been salmon fishing in the Scotch rivers [in Scotland]; you have fished on and on until you have hooked a huge fish, and by the time you have landed him, on taking out your watch, you discover that it is long past your dinner hour, and you are surprised that you had not noticed that you were almost faint [famished]. Your excitement kept you going: only when it was over did you begin to hunger [feel hungry]. Thus, the Master was so taken up with soul-saving that he had meat to eat that others knew not of. [Didn’t know about.]
FAITH’S CHECKBOOK October 9th WHAT SANCTIFIES OUR OFFERINGS?
-And the priest shall put some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the Lord- Leviticus 4:7
Y pondrá el sacerdote de la sangre sobre los cuernos del altar del perfume aromatico-
Levitico 4:7
The altar of incense is the place where saints present their prayers and praises; and it is delightful to think of it as sprinkled with the blood of the great sacrifice. This it is which makes all our worship acceptable with Jehovah: He sees the blood of His own Son, and therefore accepts our homage
[The Latin root of homage is homo-, meaning "man." In medieval times, a king's male subject could officially become the “king's man" (subject) by publicly announcing allegiance to the monarch in a formal ceremony.
In that ritual, known as homage, the subject knelt and placed his hands between those of his lord, symbolically surrendering himself and putting himself at the lord's disposal and under his jurisdiction. A bond was thus forged between the two; the vassal's part was to revere and serve his lord, and the lord's role was to protect the vassal and his family. Over time, homage was extended from the ceremony to the acts of duty and respect done for the lord, and eventually to any respectful act or tribute.]
It is well for us to fix our eyes upon [look intently at] the blood of the one offering for sin. Sin mingles even with our holy things, and our best repentance, faith, prayer, and thanksgiving could not be received of God were it not [if it weren’t] for the merit of the atoning sacrifice [of Jesus Christ]. Many sneer [scoff] at -the blood-; but to us it is the foundation of comfort and hope. That which is on the horns of the altar is meant to be prominently before our eyes when we draw near to God.
The blood gives strength to prayer, and hence [because of that] it is on the altar’s horns. It is -before [right in front of] the Lord,- and therefore it ought to be before us. It is on the altar before we bring the incense; it is there to sanctify our offerings and gifts.
Come, let us pray with confidence, since the Victim [Jesus Christ] is offered, the merit has been pleaded, the blood is within the veil [inside the Holy of Holies], and the prayers of believers must [therefore] be sweet unto the Lord.
Prayer: Thank You, precious Lord Jesus that Your blood is received mixed with sweet smelling perfume on the alter. The acceptability of even sweet perfume requires the merit of Jesus’s blood. I pray that you will save me and accept my offering to be Your child right now as [because] I come in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the authority of His shed blood, Amen.

vis. The Textus Receptus TR [Received Text] was faithfully taken from the overwhelming majority of extant texts of the New Testament Greek texts and The Masoretic Hebrew text MT that was meticulously copied by hand [manuscript] of the Old Testament Hebrew absent the defective Sinaiticus and Vaticanus codices. Codices that often are found to be in disagreement with one another. Yet, they are set forth in modern textual criticism as a rationale for the creation of the explosion new editions based on the false assumption that older manuscripts are de facto better. Actually the unsettled changes, reflect doctrinal ambiguities that are used to support secular or denominational biases.
For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in Heaven. Psalm 119:89
MORNING October 9th
"ABLE TO KEEP YOU FROM FALLING. " Jude 24
—Poderoso para guardaros sin caída— Judas 24
IN some sense the path to heaven is very safe, but in other respects there is no road so dangerous. It is beset with difficulties. One false step and down we go. What a slippery path is that which some of us have to tread! How many times have we to exclaim with the Psalmist, "My feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh [almost] slipped." If we were strong, sure-footed mountaineers, this would not matter so much; but in ourselves, how weak we are! In the best roads we soon falter [mis-step], in the smoothest paths we quickly stumble. These feeble knees of ours can scarcely support our tottering weight. A straw may throw us, and a pebble can wound us; we are mere children tremblingly taking our first steps in the walk of faith.
Our heavenly Father holds us by the arms or we should soon be down [fall]. Oh, if we are kept from falling, how must we bless the patient power which watches over us day by day! Think, how prone we are to sin, how apt to choose danger, how strong our tendency to cast ourselves down [become depressed] , and these reflections will make us sing more sweetly than we have ever done, "Glory be to Him, who is able to keep us from falling."
We have many foes [enemies] who try to push us down. The road is rough and we are weak, but in addition to this, enemies lurk in ambush, who rush out when we least expect them, and labor [work] to trip us up, or hurl us down the nearest precipice [cliff]. Only an Almighty arm can preserve us from these unseen foes [enemies], who are seeking to destroy us.
Such an arm is engaged [active] for our *defense. He is faithful that promised, and He is able to keep us from falling, so that with a deep sense of our utter weakness, we may cherish a firm belief in our perfect safety, and say, with joyful confidence,
Against me earth and hell combine,
But on my side is power divine;
Jesus is all, and He is mine!
* U.S.A. spelling substituted.
EVENING October 9th
“BUT HE ANSWERED HER NOT A WORD”─ Matthew 15:23
─ Pero Jesús no le respondió [ní una] palabra─ Mateo 15:23
Genuine seekers who as yet have not obtained the blessing, may take comfort from the story before us [this]. The *Savior did not at once bestow the blessing, even though the woman had great faith in him. He intended to give it, but he waited awhile. “He answered her not a word.”
Were not her prayers good? Never better in the world.
Was not her case needy? Sorrowfully needy.
Did she not feel her need sufficiently? She felt it overwhelmingly.
Was she not earnest enough? She was intensely so.
Had she no faith? She had such a high degree of it that even Jesus wondered, and said,
“O woman, great is thy faith.”
See then, although it is true that faith brings peace, yet it does not always bring it instantaneously.
There may be certain reasons calling for the trial of faith, rather than the reward of faith. Genuine faith may be in the soul like a hidden seed, but as yet it may not have budded and blossomed into joy and peace. A painful silence from the *Savior is the grievous trial of many a seeking soul, but heavier still is the affliction of a harsh cutting reply such as this,
“It is not meet [a perfect match] to take the children’s bread, and to cast [throw] it to [the] dogs.”
Many, in waiting upon the Lord find immediate delight, but this is not the case with all. Some, like the jailer, are in a moment turned from darkness to light, but others are plants of slower growth. A deeper sense of sin may be given to you instead of a sense of pardon, and in such a case you will have need of patience to bear the heavy blow.
Ah! poor heart, though Christ beat and bruise thee, or even slay thee, trust him; though he should give thee an angry word, believe in the love of his heart.
Do not, I beseech, [implore] thee give up seeking or trusting my Master, because thou hast not yet obtained the conscious joy which thou longest for.
Cast thyself on him, and perseveringly [keep on keeping on] depend, even where thou canst not [you can’t] rejoicingly hope.
* U.S.A. spelling substituted.
A SINNER’S PRAYER October 9th (FOR WHOSOEVER):
Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21
Pray and call on the name of the Lord Jesus and be saved … won’t you?
(Pray like this)
“Lord Jesus, I’m a lost sinner hopeless without You. I would never be able to save myself. Without your death on the cross to pay my sin debt I would be condemned to spend eternity condemned in Hell. By nature and practice I am a natural-born sinner. I’m totally depraved and I sin because I am a sinner. Please forgive me.0
I realize that doing my best or being as good as possible, or being better than other people or having good excuses can never save me.
I look to You, alone Lord Jesus to save me and I call on You right now to save me. You died on the cross in my place to pay for my sin. Your Word says, “It shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21. Thank You, Lord.
Right now, Lord Jesus, I come to You, just as I am. I’m trusting You to forgive me and save me. I look to you as my Lord and Savior.
Please forgive me of all my sins. I’m sorry for each one. Without You, I am lost. Thank you, Lord, for saving me. You paid the price, in full, for all of my sins and the sins of the whole world once for all by suffering and dying on the cross.
Thank You that You loved me and died for me.
Thank you, Heavenly Father, for saving me. Thank You that You brought me to see Your love for me and that the wages of sin is death but eternal life is mine through the Lord Jesus Christ who suffered and died as the sacrifice Lamb of God.
Thank You, Heavenly Father that you raised Jesus from the dead victorious over sin, death and the grave and that in Him I am now eternally born again.
I believe that You have saved me and will guide, comfort and instruct me by the Holy Spirit into all truth and that You will be conform me to the image of Your only begotten son, the Lord Jesus Christ, my Savior and Lord.
In the name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.
Please allow us to celebrate your new birth with you and the angels in heaven. They rejoice in the redemption of each sinner who comes to the Lord Jesus. Write us, won’t you?
[You too can cast your cares on the Lord…

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 its 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 favors and says often.

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.

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?]

Amen... Amen… and Amen!

John 3:16 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
The Incomplete and unsealed codices of Sinaiticus and Vaticanus are not majority texts, [Original Masoretic Hebrew and the Greek Textus Receptus]. Sinaiticus and Vaticanus present variant, ambiguous and erroneous readings rather than that of the well-established and settled texts. They disagree often with one another as well as with the settled majority texts. Thus, an attempt to create a pretext that will continue to justify a never-ending demand for additional editions and interpretations. These unsettled differences and bias in certain sectarian doctrine [dogma] have led to the production of multiple “modern” editions with ambiguities, many variant readings and confusion from the explosion of unending, new editions.
Profit-driven publishers have embraced such an economic windfall to sell a continual flow of “new and better” English edition of The Bible. They give too little attention to the fidelity and accuracy already settled [in heaven] in majority manuscripts of the Masoretic Hebrew and the Greek Textus Receptus.
Psalm 119:89-90
89 Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations:
thou hast established the earth, and it abideth [abides].
God, Himself, providentially protects and preserves His Word. His Word is the God-breathed, self-authenticating, immutable [unchanging and unchangeable], eternal, inerrant, infallible, infinite and all-powerful Word, settled in heaven. GOD is not the author of confusion.

WHO IS THE GOD OF THE BIBLE?
by David Hocking
WHAT ARE HIS NAMES?
(1 One) His Name is INCOMPREHENSIBLE!
Exodus 3:13-15 “13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.”
Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Authorized (King James) Version
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high, I cannot attain unto it.”
(2 Two) His Name is INFINITE!
Psalm 145:1-3
1 I will extol thee, my God, O king;
and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
2 Every day will I bless thee;
and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.
3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
and his greatness is unsearchable.
Romans 11:33
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
(3 Three) His Name is INCORRUPTABLE!

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

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.)
