*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.

The preaching, teaching and writings of Charles Haddon Spurgeon are bedrock solid and saturated with God’s revealed Word, the Bible.  His  written publications continue to benefit readers with inspired Gospel preaching and sound biblical teaching from one whose life was poured out like a drink offering to The Lord Jesus Christ,  to whom Charlie was a fully devoted follower. His love of Jesus Christ manifested itself in his unequalled love for and his never-ceasing soul winning efforts toward unsaved multitudes.  From one who became known as The Prince of Preachers he remained humble always pointing to Christ, and Him crucified.

 

This  ministry continues to flourishes in London’s   Metropolitan Tabernacle.  (Brief History)   a church begun in 1650 with The building constructed by members of the congregation in 1861. It continues to thrive today.

ANECDOTE 189: February 7th   FAITH AND REASON.

Once “Reason” [The name of a character personified in Bunyan’s  Pilgrim’s Progress] came along, and heard a man cry, “I am guilty, guilty,”

 
She stopped, and said, “The man is guilty ; God condemns the guilty, therefore this man will be condemned.”

 

She went away, left the man condemned and ruined, and quivering with fear.

“Faith” came and heard the self-same cry, rendered more bitter by the cruel syllogism [statement] of Reason.

 

“Faith” stopped: she said, “The man is guilty ; Christ died for the guilty ; the man will be saved ;” 

and her logic was right ; the man lifted up his head, and rejoiced.

 

“Reason” came one day, and saw a man naked, and she said, “He hath not on a wedding garment; can naked souls appear before the bar of God?

Should they have a place at the supper of the Lamb? The man is naked; he must be cast out, for naked ones cannot enter heaven ! “

 

Then “Faith” came by, and said, “The man is naked ; Christ wrought a robe of righteousness; he must have made it for the naked; he would not have made it for those who have a robe of their own. The robe is for the naked man, and he shall stand in it before God.” 

 

And her logic was right and just. The other might seem strictly according to rule, but this was better still.

 

“Reason” one day heard a man say that he was very good and righteous. She saw him go up to the temple, and heard him pray,

 

“Lord, I thank thee that I am not as other men.”

 

“Reason”  Said,  “That man is better than others, and he will be accepted.”

 

But she argued wrongly; for, lo! he went out, and a poor sinner by his side, who could only say,

 

“God be merciful to me, a sinner,”  [He] went down to his house justified, while the proud Pharisee went on his way disregarded.

 

The logic of  Faith is to argue white from black, [Be merciful to me, a sinner.] whereas the logic of Reason argues white from white.

 

[“Lord, I thank thee that I am not [as bad]  as other men.”]

 

Luther says, “Once upon a time the devil came to me, and said,

 

Martin Luther, you are a great sinner, and you will be damned.

 

Stop, stop, said I, one thing at a time; I am a great sinner, it is true, though you have no right to tell me of it. I confess it;

what’s next ?

 

[Devil]: Therefore you will be damned.

[Luther]: That is not good reasoning. It is true I am a great sinner, but it is written

 

“Jesus Christ came to save sinners;”

 

Therefore, I shall be saved.

 

Now go your way, 

 

 So, I cut the devil off with his own sword, and he went away mourning, because he could not cast me down by calling me a sinner.”

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK February 7th   RETURN FROM BACKSLIDING   

by C.H. Spurgeon

-If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt [shall] be built up— Job 22:23

-Si te tornares al Omnipotente, serás edificado- Job 22:23

 

Eliphaz, in this utterance [remark], [while giving advice to his friend Job] spoke a great truth, which is the summary of many an inspired Scripture.

 

Reader, has sin pulled you down? Have you become like a ruin? Has the hand of the Lord gone out against you, so that in estate [circumstances] you are impoverished, and in Spirit you are broken down? Was it your own folly which brought upon you all this dilapidation [ruin]?

 

Then the first thing to be done is to return to the Lord. With deep repentance and sincere faith find your way back from your backsliding. It is your duty, for you have turned away from Him whom you professed to serve.

 

It is your wisdom, for you cannot strive against Him and prosper. It is your immediate necessity, for what He has done is nothing compared to what He may do in the way of chastisement, since He is Almighty to punish.

 

See what a promise invites you!

 

You shall be -built up.-

 

None but the Almighty can set up the fallen pillars, and restore the tottering [unstable] walls of your condition;

 

but He can and He will do it if you return to Him.

 

Do not delay. Your crushed [debilitated] mind may quite fail you if you go on to rebel;

but hearty confession will ease you, and humble faith will console you.

Do this, and all will be well
 

[Everything’s gon’na be all right].

 

Prayer: Thank you LORD that if I return to You I will be built up. Thank You that You will take me back, renew my heart and build me up. Please forgive each and every sin of mine from which I now confess and  turn away. Help me to always obey You LORD  Jesus  in Your name, I pray,  Amen.

MORNING February 7th   "ARISE YE, AND DEPART"—Micah 2:10

─Levantaos, y andad─ Miqueas 2:10

 

THE hour is [soon] approaching when the message will come to us, as it comes to all,

 

"Arise [get up], and go forth from the home in which you have dwelled [lived], from the city in which you have done your business, from your family, from your friends. Arise, and take your last journey."

 

And what do we know of the journey? And what do we know of the country we are going to?
Of it we have read little; somewhat has been revealed to us by the [Holy] Spirit. But how little do we know of the realms of the future! We know that there is a black and stormy river called "Death."

 

God bids [asks] us [to] cross it, promising to be with us. And, after, death, what next? What wonder-world [amazing wonders] will open upon our astonished sight? What scene of glory will be unfolded to our view?  

 

No traveler has ever returned to tell. But we know enough of the heavenly land to make us welcome our summons [to go] to it with joy and gladness.

 

The journey of death may be dark, but we may go ahead fearlessly, knowing that

 

God is with us as we walk through the gloomy valley, and therefore

 

we need fear no evil.

 

We shall be departing from all we have known and loved here,

 

but we shall be going to our Father’s house—to our Father’s home, where Jesus is—to that royal “city with foundations, whose builder and maker is God.”

 

We shall move for the last time and dwell forever with Him we love, in the midst of His people, in the presence of God.

 

Christian, meditate much on heaven; it will help you to press on and to forget the toil of the way.

This vale [valley, place of testing] of tears is but [just] the pathway to the better country:

 

this world of woe is but the stepping-stone to a world of bliss.

 

Prepare us, Lord, by grace divine,

                                          For Thy bright courts on high;

      Then bid [ask] our spirits rise, and join

                                          The chorus of the sky.

EVENING February 7th   

"And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them,"COME UP HITHER [here]. "—Revelation 11:12

─Y oyeron una grande voz del cielo, que les decía: Subid acá─ Apocalipsis 11:12

 

WITHOUT considering these words in their prophetical connection, let us regard them as the invitation of our great forerunner [The Lord Jesus Christ] to His sanctified people. In due time there shall be heard "a great voice from heaven" to every believer, saying,

 

"COME UP HITHER [come up here]."

 

To the saints this should be a subject of joyful anticipation. Instead of dreading the time when we shall leave this world to go unto the Father, we should be longing for the hour of our emancipation [being set Free]. Our song should be this:
 

My heart is with Him on His throne,

And ill can brook delay;

(can’t put up with any delay)

Each moment listening for the voice,

‘Rise up, and come away.’

 

We are not called down to the grave, but up to the skies.

 

Our heaven-born spirits should long for their native [first known] air. Yet the celestial summons should be the object of patient waiting. Our God knows best when to bid [call] us "COME UP HITHER [here]." We must not wish to antedate the period of our departure [leave before it’s time ]. I know that strong love will make us cry [call out],

 

0 Lord of Hosts, the waves divide,

And land us all in heaven.

 

but patience must have her perfect work. God ordains with accurate wisdom the most fitting time for the redeemed [saved] to abide below [live on earth]. Surely, if there could be regrets in heaven, the saints might mourn that they did not live here longer, to do more good.

 

Oh, for more sheaves for my Lord's garner, [silo] more jewels for His crown! But how, unless there be more work?

 

True, there is the other side of it: in living so briefly, our sins are the fewer. But when we are fully serving God, scattering His precious seed and reaping a hundredfold, we would even say it is well for us to stay where we are.

 

Whether our Master says "go," or "stay," let us be equally well pleased

 

as long as He blesses us with His presence.

 

You too can cast your cares on the Lord… 

1. Call on Him. As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me.. ...Psalm 55:16

2. Trust Him. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass ... Psalm 37:5

3. Come to Him. Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest..  Matthew 11:28

4. Give Him the burden.  Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:22]

… and pray for souls to be saved and believers to be strengthened

The Lord … is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.  2 Peter 3:9

Pray also that believers will be led…                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           by the Holy Spirit to rightly divide and proclaim God’s Word providentially protected and preserved by God, Himself.

 

John 3:16:   

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.

 

For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in Heaven. Psalm 119:89

God is not the author of confusion. 1 Corinthians 4:33­­

God, Himself, providentially protects and preserves His WORD. All of His Word is inspired, [God-breathed], self-authenticating, immutable [unchanging and unchangeable], eternal, inerrant, infallible, infinite and all-powerful [omnipotent] Word.

 

 MISSION PURPOSE:         
 

Our aim is to faithfully follow the Lord Jesus Christ. We trust the Holy Spirit to impart God’s  divine revelation to us from His Word, the Holy Bible.  We trust that many who are lost will be saved, that believers will be comforted, strengthened and encouraged as we are being conformed to the image of the Lord Jesus Christ; all, to God’s glory.

Divine Scripture is God’s infinite, eternal, inerrant, infallible, immutable revelation to all mankind.  Herein, all revealed truth is given to the world. It is God-breathed [inspired] , self-authenticating [compare scripture to scripture]  and providentially protected and will endure, immutable, forever.  We purpose, therefore, with God enabling, to rightly divide and follow The Holy Bible in all things.  Personal guidance in Holiness and all divine revelation to His Church body are through God’s Holy Word, the Bible.

Hence, we resolve, God helping us, to pray, read, study, meditate-on, trust-in  and obey God’s revealed and divinely preserved Word,  holding it to be the final authority and legal precedent in all things as the divinely established Stare Decisis [Latin: to stand by that which is decided].

Therefore, the purpose of The John Mark Publishing Company is to publish and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every creature, ministering God’s love to all, especially those in the household of faith.  The Bible is God’s everlasting, inspired, (God breathed) inerrant, infallible, unchangeable, divinely protected and preserved Word of love and salvation to the entire world forever settled in heaven.

 

It is also the essence and  foundation of this ministry as we aim to encourage a growing discipleship and devotional vigor.
 

History: The preaching, teaching and writing  of Charles Haddon Spurgeon is inspired and consistently, continues to reveal God’s love through His Word, rightly divided and conforming to all doctrines of Biblical Christianity.  His work continues to benefit, bless and challenge readers through authentic Gospel preaching and its sound biblical teaching. The Lord’s ministry through Charles Spurgeon  continues to flourish from  (Spurgeon’s)  Metropolitan Tabernacle,   (Brief History)

This Website is shared with the hope that growth in personal devotions and the edification of the church as well as fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ will occur.  We desire that the written Word of God will be the Living  Word in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ to each and every reader.

To this end,  DailySpurgeon.com is offered as an opportunity to hear Gospel preaching and engage in daily devotions,  Bible study and meditation, prayer, and the singing of Sacred  praises and Worship to The Lord Jesus in Spirit and in Truth.

 

Adherence to Spurgeon’s calendared dates and original, unabridged text is carefully maintained.

Alterations in the Text:
NIV ESV  RSV and all other Modern Language Translations are translated from the Critical Text which came from the Greek Codices Vaticanus and Sinaiticus.  90% is from Vaticanus and 8-9% from Sinaiticus  and were the principle Greek Texts of Westcott and Hort’s invented Greek Text. There is more disagreement than agreement between these two sources.

 

17 verses are deleted out of the New Testament in the Critical Text. 7,000 words are deleted.

Codices Sinaiticus  and Vaticanus are counterfeits that were  overwritten in the 10th 11th and  completely overwritten in the 15th centuries. There are more points of disagreement than agreement  between the.

The Geneva Bible was also translated from the Traditional Greek Text, The Textus Receptus [The Received Text] including  comments favorable to the Protestant Reformation  from, devoted,  faithful Christian men of GOD; Puritan Believers whose lives were  beyond reproach.
This Bible was brought to Plymouth Massachusetts  in the American Colonies by the Puritan Pilgrims guided by Captain Christopher Jones’s on the Mayflower sailing ship in 1620. A 1592 Edition of the Geneva Bible that belonging to a Mayflower passenger and the Governor of the Plymouth Colony (Later to become the State of   Massachusetts) by William Bradford and is on display at the Pilgrim Hall Museum in Plymouth, Massachusetts, the oldest continuously operating public museum in the United States.

The traditional Textus Receptus [The Received (Greek) Text] unlike any other Greek Text was taken  from more than 5,321 original Majority (Greek Manuscript) Text [MT] that agree 99% with one another. Other variant readings stem from Greek translations invented by  either Westcott and Hort or Nestle and Aland.  These fabricated Greek Texts were translated from only a handful [45] of Majority Text Manuscripts MT and  lack the  trustworthiness of  the inspired 1769 [1611] King James Version, KJV or the Geneva Bible and are the only two translations of the traditional, reliable, inspired, [GOD BREATHED] immutable and providentially and divinely protected Textus Receptus [TR]

 

There is also translational evidence that establishes The Traditional GreekText as both the OLDEST and the BEST. [The Counterfeit proofs  offered by Critical Test adherents].

Bridge to Babylon The 1881 Textual Criticism Controversy   (169 minutes.)

(1) URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIC5rUbs_-E&t=9s       

The definitive and historical video Bridge to Babylon (URL above) documents hard evidence as to  the explosive creation  of over 100 new Critical Text translations of the Bible into English.

Attempts to change the Bible by adding to, or taking away from the 1769 edition of the King James Version [KJV] of the Holy Bible cannot prevail because GOD Himself preserves and protects His inspired [God Breathed, Spoken] , inerrant, [without error] immutable [incapability of changing] and infallible [incapable of having error or failing] God Breathed [Spoken] WORDS. Eternal Protection and Preservation  from all counterfeit and variant readings and heresy, blasphemy, confusion , errors, additions to, or subtractions from the is freely given to WORD of GOD by GOD HIMSELF.

 

. The Traditional Greek Text was first used  in the FIRST Church at Antioch and was later called  The Received Text [Textus Receptus TR].  Over 6 Billion King James Bibles account for more sales world-wide than any other version or edition of the Holy Bible. More than all other Versions and Editions Combined.

 BCE/CE  vs.  BC/AD     Is there a difference?
defend the Truth.   Won’t you?

*A.D. does NOT mean “After Death” as many mistakenly believe. It is Latin for Anno Domini,  a  phrase adopted into English usage that means  “Year of [the] Lord”.  The complete  original phrase "anno Domini nostri Jesu Christi" means "in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ”.   A.D. together with B.C. Before Christ divides all history into before and after the birth of Jesus the Christ [Messiah].

Can the Website  DAILYSPURGEON  be trusted? Is it trustworthy?

Is it of God?

YES, it can!    Yes, it is!     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.

Therefore I do confess,  that Jesus Christ is come  [is here]  in the flesh.

 

[All translations of the Bible that use  Greek translations other than the traditional and faithful Textus Receptus do not contain the Greek word “ictin”.  This word  means “is” in English] and  its exclusion causes the meaning of its English equivalent, “is here” to change from “is” come” [“is”   here] to “has” come.

 

This error is self-evident because non-believers, false prophets, atheists and even  heretics can, and frequently do, affirm that Jesus Christ “has come”   [in the flesh].

 

While this is a true statement, taken at face value, the  meaning of  “has come” is clearly not the same as “is here”. When “has” come is the meaning   the test God has given in His Word to discern whether words being analyzed are from the Spirit of God or the spirit of antichrist is negated.

 

One of the most well documented facts in all human history is that Jesus The Christ [The Anointed Messiah]  “has” come in the flesh. However, the essential question  is not whether the spirit [a spoken or written word] confesses that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh but, whether this confession affirms that Jesus Christ, “is come” [is here],  in the flesh.

 

Please Compare and consider [Meditate upon] this scripture with other related scriptures.  Precept upon precept, Line upon line… 
Isaiah 28:10-14

 Ephesians 5:30-32

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 Church body and Bride of CHRIST]

 

“I speak concerning Christ and the church.” [the fleshly embodiment, here and now,  of the body of Christ]. Because  followers of Jesus Christ are members of the incarnate Body of Christ [The Church] I freely affirm and avow that Jesus Christ is here

[Not “Has come”] in the flesh.

Which Bible Is The Best?  (57 minutes) David Hocking

 

David’s Summary  (8 minutes) The problem behind Bible translations is not English.  The issue is what Greek text was being used.   I believe the true Author is The Holy Spirit. I believe this is the Word of God… We need to understand that The word of GOD in and of itself is power. Power to change your life and through the work of the Holy Spirit can produce the New Birth. We are born again of an incorruptible seed of the Word of God which liveth and abideth forever.

THE  WORDS of GOD Are :
 

Immutable, [unchangeable and, incapable of mutation or change] 
Inspired, [God breathed, spoken],

Infallible,[Incapable of failing, making a mistake or being wrong]  

Inerrant [Without error]

Self-Authenticating  [The Bible is considered to be self-authenticating because proponents who believe it to be so know it contains inherent divine qualities—Such qualities are unity, majesty, power, and internal consistency—that reveal its divine origin, that convinces readers of its truth without relying on external historical proof or church testimony.

This concept, championed by the Reformation, know that the Holy Spirit illuminate:
the "heavenliness of its matter," the "efficacy of its doctrine," and the "majesty of its style" within the text itself, allowing God's Word to be received directly, the same way as seeing God's glory in Christ.]

 

Divinely Protected and Preserved:

Psalm 12:6-7:   6 The words of the Lord are pure words:
as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt keep them [Thy Words] (Note Plural), O Lord, thou shalt preserve them [Thy Words] from this generation for ever. (AKJV).

 

Isaiah 40:8: 8 The grass withereth, [withers] the flower fadeth [fades] :but the word of our God shall stand for ever. (AKJV).

 

Matthew 5:18: 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (AKJV).

 

Matthew 24:35: 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. (AKJV).

 

1 Peter 1:23: 23 being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.  (AKJV).

 

1 Peter 1:25: 25 but the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.  (AKJV).

It’s superior to all Critical Text translations from other Greek Sources including (Westcott & Hort, Nestle & Aland,  and Codices Vaticanus, Sinaiticus and Alexandrus).

 

John 1:1: 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
_____________________________________________________

 

John 1:1-3    1In the beginning was he Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in he beginning with God. 3 all things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.

 

1 John 4:1-3  

 (AKJV) The Authorized Version AKJV Translation was faithfully translated by fully consecrated,  and dedicated men of faith, beyond reproach, preeminent linguists, language scholars who were fully devoted followers of  The Lord Jesus Christ.   The 1611 King James translation is from the inerrant, inspired and immutable Textus Receptus [Received Text]:

 

Psalm 119:89  ל   (Lamed)  For ever, [sic] O  Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.

 

“Thy Word” is The Inspired and Ultimate Stare Decisis [A Latin phrase used in Legal terminology  that establishes the principle of “Legal Precedence” that means to stand by things decided, and with reference to Holy Scripture, to uphold all things God-Breathed [Inspired] and therefore eternally and immutably decided]

 

4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth [says] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come 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.

 

Therefore, I now confess that “Jesus Christ is here in the flesh.”  

 

[All other English translations of the Bible that use Greek manuscripts other than the Textus Receptus erroneously renders the English translation “Has come”.

      

 This Translation error is because inferior Greek manuscripts do not include the Greek word  “ictin”  (This is The Greek word for is that is found only in the Majority Text of the Textus Receptus) and therefore  the failure  to correctly translate “ictin” [Is Here] into English.

 

 The Authorized King James Version AKJV also known as The Authorized Version AV and the Geneva Bible stand alone in making and giving the correct translation: “is here”.

 

This  error: “has come” is self-evident, because non-believers, false prophets and even heretics  can, and sometimes will,  make the confession that He “has come” in the flesh. This is no surprise because the birth of Jesus Christ is the most well documented fact in all of recorded history.  Indeed, it is a true and factual statement that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Yet, while this is, a true and factual statement, the meaning in scripture has now been erroneously changed. The new and erroneous meaning is that now even if He “has come” in the flesh  the confession that JESUS CHRIST IS HERE IN THE FLESH is impossible for THE SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST who is the creator of all heresies  to confess. Without it, Don’t  believe anything  that is said or written.

 

NEITHER does it provide for the test for believers to discern whether a spirit [voice or written words being read or heard] are from God or from the Antichrist.  It is  true that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh, but it’s essential that the confession that Jesus Christ,  “IS HERE IN THE FLESH” Be confessed  [be spoken].

By Reading, comparing and meditating on any specific Scripture together with other relevant Scriptures, God’s Word clarifies and self-authenticates:

 

Therefore we will read and meditate on:
1 John 4:1-3 with Ephesians 5:30-32

 

1 John 4:1-3

Authorized (King James) Version

1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come 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.

 

Ephesians 5:30-32

30: for we are members of his [Jesus Christs’]  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 speak concerning Christ and His bride the church.

 [We are members of His body, flesh and bones, one flesh with Him, as His bride the church].

He was born of a virgin 2026 years ago, and HE lives today,

and He is soon returning for His bride; The Church.

 

 "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.  "1 Timothy 3:16

Why Have Traditional  Sacred Hymns Endured for Such a Long aTime? 
 

Because God preserves and protects His Word. The lyrics in Sacred hymns are divinely God breathed [Inspired and Spoken by God] words and are therefore infinite, immutable and eternal.

 

(Text from Blogger: Notorius Meddler)
… be being filled with the Spirit; speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody [music] in your heart to the Lord; Ephesians 5:18-19

 

•  

Our prayer is that you have trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior and Lord, or that you will do it now,  right now.

  DailySpurgeon.com

 

This Website does not replace nor can it be a substitute for the in-person, personal assembling of ourselves together as is the manner of some.  Hebrews 10:23-27  

 

Rather, its purpose is to save lost sinners and to teach and encourage believers through God’s Word and prayer to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ [The Anointed Messiah] in personal discipleship and worship  of the Lord Jesus as we are being conformed to His very image. 

“For whom God did foreknow he did also predestinate to be conformed to the image of his son…” Romans 8:29

 

We are, instructed in the Word of GOD to assemble,  praise and worship God. Thus, we must assemble and worship the Lord Jesus Christ and exhort [encourage] and provoke one another to do good works.

Such worship may take place through, congregational singing of sacred hymns and spiritual songs, reading, preaching and obeying God’s Word, sharing Christian love and fellowship, agreeing together  with  specific public prayer requests, and reading and exhorting one another in the Word, to provoke one another to love and serve and bear witness with one another in the Holy Ghost.

 

Admonition: Online streaming cannot satisfy personal interaction or the warm fellowship of in-person assemblies of  brothers and sisters who are in Christ Jesus. Electronic media cannot substitute for the warm inter-personal love, fellowship, commitment, and compassion, nor does it provide for a kind and comforting touch or embrace of another believer.  e.g. Laying on of hands, 1 Timothy 4:14;  the right hands of Christian fellowship, Galatians 2:9; or an embrace, Acts 20:1; or greeting with a holy kiss,

1 Thessalonians 5:26.

 

 

We give thanks to the Lord, for the Website DailySpurgeon.com  and pray that it will continue to be an instrumentality of The Lord Jesus to build up fully devoted followers of the Lord Jesus Christ [Anointed Messiah] .  These followers will be taught to be disciples themselves and will then teach others to be disciples.

We pray that you will also be a radiant instrumentality of God to share the good news of Jesus Christ with every one, encouraging them to believe in Christ Jesus and become the very image of HIM. 

 

This ministry was begun as daily e-mails of Faith’s Checkbook by Charles H. Spurgeon were sent to John -Michael’s son, Jon Edward Riley.  Jon shared these messages with others and soon over 300 were added to the mailing list through his witness as he witnessed and  shared  his testimony with them.

Jon was called home by his loving Father in Heaven on January 16, 2021 leaving a legacy of this Website to minister to all who will  benefit in this labor of Love to the glorify God and His Eternal Kingdom. ALL Glory belongs to GOD, alone.

 

Jon is honored here; giving honor to whom honor is due.  Romans 13:7    

 

We pray that many will be born again, challenged, encouraged, and built-up to become fully devoted followers of the Lord Jesus Christ and be conformed to His image; that they might be the firstborn among many brethren.  Romans 8:28-29.

 Jon loved to say, “I’m a blood-bought, born-again Child of God!” to anyone he happened to meet.

… Jon’s  testimony lives on 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 now present with the LORD  in glory forever.  One who, one day, we’ll reunite.. 
 

Jon  would sometimes just sing-out some of the following songs on the way to church, or 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, creative, redeemed and loving heart.

 

Some Songs Jon Loved to Sing:

I Love You Lord    by the Gaither choir

I Love You Lord  Universal Music Group

 I  LOVE  You  Lord   by Jared Reynolds
Where No One Stands Alone   Gaither Vocal Band

Lead Me  & Rock-a My Soul   by Elvis and friends

He Knows Just What I Need  by Elvis

How Great Thou Art    with  Elvis
Lead Me & Rock-a My Soul   Elvis and friends
Lead Me, Guide Me  by Elvis

It Is No Secret   by Elvis written by Stuart Hamblen

 

The following recordings were discovered several months  after Jon was called home on January 16th 2021.  It’s such a blessing, to hear Elvis sing the Gospel message in song but it can’t compare with the Glory of being in the presence of the LORD for all eternity.

 

LIFE    by Elvis         

 

       *I Can Only Imagine being present with the LORD,  or hearing the completed song the Lord completed with Jon when he arrived; a song known only to the Lord,  to Jon and the few who heard Jon sing it here. Lyrics remembered  from him singing:   "See my Jesus, Walkin' on duh Waduh"…  an original, inspired song from our beloved  Jon, himself a true and renown original.

 

* Click and sing:

 

 I CAN ONLY IMAGINE   with Wynonna Judd.

 

LOVE WITHOUT END, AMEN  (A Father’s Love) by George Strait honoring George H.W. Bush  (41st President) A favorite song of the President.

 

It’s also my sincere  message of love to all  my children, grand-children and great grand-children  and all loved ones.

  

…Jon would always say “Later”; [as in, see-ya later] instead of “good bye”.  It was the only farewell greeting he would ever use when parting company with a friend; and, everyone was Jon’s friend.

 … He would never  say “good-bye”.

Now, as we remember the sound of him saying “Later”, it rings true in a  new and deeper meaning and it brings a joy and comfort to the hearts of those whom he loved so well; those who love him still and will forever more.

 

… and how much sweeter to us now, are the promises in these two Hymns:  

 ’TILL WE MEET AGAIN. (sing along, won’t you?)

GOSPEL SERMONS

God Appeals to Reason  Isaiah 30:15-21   with Dr. Peter Masters

Before conversion, the claims of God mean nothing to us, but when God's Word speaks to our hearts, [by the Holy Spirit] the challenge becomes inescapable [and Irresistible ]. Self-searching begins, and the kindness of God's forgiving love is grasped as never before. Here is God's reasoning with souls.

 

God Gave them Up  by Alistair Begg
