*A.D. does NOT mean “After Death”, a common mistake.

 

It is an abbreviation from the Latin  words Anno Domini;  a shortened term, actually meaning:   “Year of our Lord”.

1 John 4:1-3

Beloved ones, don’t be believing every spirit [everything you hear] but [continually] be testing the spirit whether it is of God: because many false prophets have come out in the world. Here’s how you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit [voice] that confesseth [confesses] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh, having come out of God, is of God: and every spirit [voice] that confesseth not [doesn't confess] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

Hence, I confess "Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh."

___________________________________________________________________

He has existed from eternity past [FOREVER] as the WORD of God.    John 1:1-2

And He was born of a virgin 2,024 years ago in Bethlehem,

is alive today, and is coming soon for His bride, the Church

[All redeemed believers].

"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:

God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit,

believed on in the world, received up into glory."

1 Timothy 3:16

 

Let me invite you to accept and receive  the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord and to publicly confess Him as such before men. He will therefore be able to acknowledge and confess you before His Father in Heaven. He is The God of Abraham. Isaac and Jacob. Following your public confession, You also invited to follow Him in believer’s baptism by immersion. 

 

Jesus came from Galilee t o Jordan to be baptized by John the Baptist. But, John forbad [refused] Him and said, “I have need to be baptized of You and [yet] you are coming to me?” [for baptism] And Jesus answering him said, “Suffer it to be so [Allow this]: for thus it becometh [is fitting and right for] us to fulfil all righteousness.” 

 Matthew 3:15

 

Baptism is not required for salvation. Remember, Jesus said to the thief on the cross, who acknowledged Jesus’ innocence and said to him.

 

“Remember me when you come into your kingdom.”

 

And Jesus said to him,

 

“Verily [Truly] I say to you, Today you shall be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43

The act of Baptism pictures the Lord’s death, burial  and resurrection and the believer’s death to self, burial, and resurrection to walk in newness of life.

It bears witness to the preaching of John the Baptist who preached that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand and exhorted Repentance from sin and the Baptism of atonement. Therefore, the act of baptism is not required for salvation but as John preached it is is to be followed to fulfil all righteousness

This website is not intended, were it possible, to take the place of the personal gathering of believers fellowship or congregational worship in  local bodies of believers.

“Study to show yourself approved unto God, a worker that needs not be ashamed, rightly dividing [accurately comprehending and sharing] the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

 

Following the Lord Jesus Christ in His purpose for us is our desire. We trust Him for our salvation, guidance, strength and our eternal destiny. We desire to and will, with His help, follow Him in soul winning by use of DailySpurgeon or any instrumentality He may bestow. We invite and encourage non-believers to turn away from sin, look to Him and be saved.

We trust that believers (old and new) will benefit in knowing that He will sustain, guide and build us up as we are being conformed to the image of Christ Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit.

The DailySpurgeon website consists  of devotional writings, prayers, sacred music  and sermons by Charles Haddon Spurgeon, that  rightly divide God’s Word. The Sermons from The Metropolitan Tabernacle and sacred congregational music of worship and praise are to encourage believers to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.

2,018,939 views May 14, 2020       ―a video into the life and ministry of Charles Haddon Spurgeon, who was widely known in his teens as the “people’s preacher” who later became known as “The Prince of Preachers”.

 

This Documentary follows the trials and triumphs of Charles Spurgeon with keen historical accuracy and accurately portrays him consistently and faithfully preaching Jesus Christ proclaiming, “Behold the Lamb of God which taketh [takes] away the sin of the world.”

 

It’s an intimate account of one of the greatest preachers in the history of the church. We follow him from his youth where, as a young preacher he is called Charlie, boy preacher of the Finns. to become the minister to London’s largest Baptist congregation and soon captures the love and respect of Great Britan to become one of its most influential and enduring figures.

 

Produced by the award-winning Christian Television Association and filmed on location in England, Scotland, France and Germany, this film vividly captures the spirit, message and legacy of a man whose eventful life and Christian ministry is supremely  relevant to the present.

Thank You LORD for dailyspurgeon.com  a website that  proclaims Jesus as the the Christ [Messiah and Anointed King] to all the world .

 

This website ministry grew from sending e-mails of daily promises from  Charles Spurgeon’s  Faith’s Checkbook a book of daily promises from Scripture  to John Michael’s son, Jon Edward Riley (1971- 2021). When Jon shared them with others, they asked to be added to the mailing list. This mailing list  continues to be used to distribute dailyspurgeon.com .  Our prayer is that it will continue to encourage fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ in personal devotional vigor in  Love, obedience and oneness with Jesus Christ through the empowered study of and obedience to GOD’S WORD empowered by the Holy Ghost.

 

Multiple Devotional publications  by Charles Spurgeon are now brought together day by day at dailyspurgeon.com

This devotional content was written and calendared by Charles Spurgeon over 200 years ago yet  continue to bring inspiration, eternal relevance and encouragement today. We pray that many will be born-again and be built-up in the Faith of Jesus Christ. May God be pleased to sustain this ministry begun with a beloved son, Jon Edward Riley (1971-2021)  honored here as one to whom honor is due.

 

Jon Edward could  sometimes be heard saying:

 

“I’m a blood-bought, born-again child of God.”

 

as he would tell others about JESUS.

 

Amen.

Is dailyspurgeon.com   a trustworthy website?

Is it true?     Is it of God? 

We ought to  apply the following Scripture to everything we hear/read in order to discern whether what we are  hearing/reading is of God and therefore whether or not it should be believed.
 

1 John 4:1-3  Beloved ones, don’t be believing every spirit [word] you hear but be testing the spirits [words] whether they are of God: because many false prophets have gone out into the world. Here’s how you know if it is the Spirit [voice]  of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh, having come from God, is of God:  and every spirit that confesses not 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, we ought to  test every voice [spirit] whether it is from God, bonified and trustworthy to be believed only if it  confesses [states]  that… 

 

“Jesus Christ is here, in the flesh having come from God .”

 

Greek manuscripts invented by Westcott & Hort and  Nestle & Alland fail to make this confession nor did they use the well established Textus Receptus that is rendered from the 5,321 extant Greek manuscripts,  known to be  in overwhelming agreement with one another as  the Majority Text.

Instead,they used their own Greek  translations that they created using only  55 Greek manuscripts selected from  the 5,321 Majority Texts Greek manuscripts..

 

Their Greek translation  presents faulty readings in many places. One example is  All translations other than the King James version overlook the original Greek verb “ictin” [To be] [is] (third person singular) that is translated in substantially  all Majority Texts MT and  subsequently in the Textus Receptus [Received Text] therefore they   fail to correctly translate  the Greek verb  as, “Is come” [Is here].  (Translated aright from the Received Text (TR)  in the King James Version only) 

This  error occurs  because the  modern critical Greek text, created by Westcott & Hort and Nestles & Alland DO NOT follow the  MT [Majority Texts] of 5,321 Greek manuscripts that  affirm substantial agreement with one another.   The TR  [Textus Receptus] is rendered from an overwhelming agreement found among the Majority Text of 5,321 primary Greek manuscript sources.

Both Westcott & Hort and Nestles & Alland have omitted the verb “is”, from the Greek text. This error may be described as res ipsa loquitur meaning the thing speaks for itself.

 Therefore, the alternate Greek  fabrications generated by these two sources are not actually translations at all but are introduced as translations but actually  represent merely  their own  Greek language creations unsupported by the reliability of the Majority Text or the Textus Receptus.

How do we know? 

Because we hear non-believers and false prophets both assert that Jesus Christ 
“has come” in the flesh. Practically anyone can  make this confession as the  birth of Jesus Christ is considered by respected historians to be the most well documented fact in all of human history. That He has come is generally acknowledged by nonbelievers and believers alike.   However, here’s the point. There is a huge difference between “Has come” and “Is Here”. “Has come” falls woefully short of the essential and clear meaning of the confession “Is Here”. Just because something “has come” it can not be assumed, inferred or deduced that it also “is here”.

The “has come” assertion is not surprising nor is it, per se, a false statement. Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. However, this  fails to present a  logical framework  to discern whether the sprit [voice] being tested [tried] is from God or from false prophets in the spirit of antichrist. 

 

Again, the expression “has come” rather than  “is come” [is here]  is not, per se a false statement.

However, it fails to deliver a valid hypothesis, by which discernment is accurately revealed. The failure here  to establish a logical and rhetorically sound rubric to judge  the question of whether spirits [words] are from God or from false prophets and the spirit of antichrist is absent if “has come” becomes the favored reading.

Namely, “has come” is such a wide-spread belief held to be historically true by all, it does not provide a sound standard to discern whether a spirit [spoken or written words]  are from God or the spirit of Antichrist.

Almost anyone [or any spirit] can declare that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh. But as you can see, this does not resolve the issue of whether something should or should not be believed or followed. Why?  Once again,  because almost anyone can and often does confess that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh. This is an insufficient standard. The standard must be whether the confession that Jesus is here  alone, gives an efficacious standard to discern truth from error.

Again, while it is  true that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh, this alone is inadequate to discern truth from error. “Has come” does not mean the same thing as “is come [is here],  from God, in the flesh” and therefore fails to be efficacious for true spiritual discernment as outlined in 1 John Chapter 4: 1-3.

 

Furthermore, as we  compare  Scripture with  scripture in 1 John 4:1-3 and  Ephesians 5:30-32 

we comprehend God’s message regarding  the body of Jesus Christ  being in the Flesh vis-à-vis The Body of Christ, The Corporate Church.

Compare  1 John 4:1-3   with Ephesians 5:30-32 

1 John 4:1-3  Authorized (King James) Version

4 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 
Authorized (King James) Version

30 for we are members of his [Jesus Christ’s]  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 the church. 

 [So, we are members of His body, flesh and bone, [we are] one flesh with Him,  The Body of Christ is (In the flesh); and is the incarnate Body of believers].

 He was born of a virgin 2024 years ago and  He lives today.

He’s coming again,  for His bride; the Church [Blood-bought, Born-again members of His body].

 

When a believer considers the fact that they are members of the body of Christ [The Church] , they should acknowledge and readily confess that…

 

“Jesus Christ is here, from God,  in the flesh,” because  We are the Body of Christ; The Church, in the flesh!  Amen.

SACRED LITERATURE:
 

THE PILGRIM’S PROGRESS   by  John Bunyan  is the most famous Allegory, world-wide and the Most widely Published Book of all time and was printed in over 200 Languages. It has NEVER,  since 1698, been  out-of-print.

 

Only The King James Bible was more widely published than The Pilgrim’s Progress.

 

ONLINE PRINT LIBRARY: (No Enrollment Fee or Registration required)

 

BUNYAN’S  ORIGINAL of 1678: The Pilgrim’s Progress  Published in 1853  by Logos  

REVISED VERSION:              The Pilgrim’s Progrefs  [sic] 1999 by Barry E. Horner 

OLD ENGLISH  PRINT: The Pilgrim’s Progress  Part II   AKA  Christiana 
(Christian’s wife, Christiana and children; their dangerous journey, and safe arrival at the desired country.)

 

 Pilgrim Progress is the world’s most famous Allegory, It and the Bible were commonly the only books to be found in the cabin of early American Settlers and were  loved and  read more than any book, second only to the Holy Bible.  It’s  also considered, by some, as being the world’s first English novel. It’s likely the most published book other than the Bible of all time. There were 1,300 editions printed before 1938,  250 years after the Bunyan’s death. Hence, the world’s most famous Allegory.

 

 Comment on Pilgrim’s Progress by Charles H. Spurgeon from the Spurgeon Sermon 
“Christ in You”.
 

Spurgeon:  Christ in us is Christ reigning." reminds me of Mr. Bunyan’s picture of [the town of] Mansoul, …when the Prince Immanuel laid siege to it, and Diabolus from within the city strove to keep him out. It was a, hard time for Mansoul then; but when at last the battering rams had broken down the gates, and the silver trumpets sounded, and the prince’s captains entered the breach, then on a day the prince himself did ride down the city’s streets, while liberated citizens welcomed him with all their hearts, hung out all their streamers, and made the church towers rock again as the bells rang out merry peals [happy melodies] , for the king himself was come. Up to the castle of the heart [main castle]  he rode in triumph, and took his royal throne to be henceforth the sole lord and king of the city.

       Christ in you is a right royal word. Christ swaying his scepter from the center of your being over every power and faculty, desire and resolve, bringing every thought into captivity to himself, Oh, this is glory begun, and the sure pledge of heaven. Oh, for more of the imperial sovereignty of Jesus, The Messiah;  our liberty to be absolutely under his sway.

 

 Spurgeon Sermon: Christ in You, Preached May 13, 1883 Scripture: Colossians 1:27  From: Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Volume 29   (cit. II. THE SWEETNESS OF THIS MYSTERY, WHICH IS CHRIST IN YOU, § 5)

A SINNER’S PRAYER

________________________________________


PRAYER: TO THE KING ETERNAL

PRAYER 5, Part 2 of 6

Lord, help us to worship Thee in life as well as lip [in word]. May our whole being be taken up with Thee. As when the fire fell down on Elijah’s sacrifice of old and licked up even the water that was in the trenches, so may the consuming fire of the Divine Spirit use up all our nature, and even that which might seem to hinder [restrain], even out of that may God get glory by the removal of it. Thus, would we adore. But, oh! dear Savior, we come to Thee, and we remember what our state is, and the condition we are in encourages us to come to Thee now, as beggars, as dependents upon Thy [Your] heavenly charity. Thou art [You are] a Savior, and as such Thou art [You are] on the outlook for those that need saving, and here we are, here we come.

We are the men and women Thou art [You are] looking for, needing [that need] a Savior.

Great Physician, we bring Thee [You] our wounds and bruises and putrefying [stinking] sores, and the more diseased we are and the more conscious we are to-day of the depravity of our nature, of the deep-seated corruption of our hearts, the more we feel that we are the sort of beings that Thou art [You are] seeking for, for the whole [healthy] have no need of a physician but they that are sick. Glorious Benefactor, we can meet Thee [You] on good terms, for we are full of poverty, we are just as empty as we can be.

 

We could not be more abjectly dependent than we are. Since Thou wouldest [You would] display Thy [Your] mercy, here is our sin; since Thou wouldest [You would] show Thy [Your] strength here is our weakness; since Thou wouldest [You would] manifest Thy [Your] loving-kindness here are our needs; since Thou wouldest [You would] glorify Thy [Your] grace here are we, such persons as can never have a shadow of a hope except through Thy [Your] grace, for we are undeserving, ill-deserving, hell-deserving, and if Thou [You] do not magnify Thy [Your] grace in us we must [will] perish for ever. [I trust You to save me today. Thank You. In Your name Lord Jesus, I pray, Amen]

ANECDOTE 24: The Chain of Blessings.

You sometimes see a railway carriage [car] or truck, fastened on to what goes before; but there is also a great hook behind. What is that for? Why, [well] to fasten something else behind, and so to lengthen the train. Any one mercy from God is linked on to all the mercy that went before it; but provision is also made for adding future blessing. All the years to come are guaranteed by the ages past.

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK AUG 23 LOVE AND SEEK TRUE WISDOM

-I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shalt [shall] find me- —Proverbs 8:17

-Yo amo a los que me aman; Y me hallan los que madrugando me buscan- Proverbios 8:17
 

Wisdom loves her lovers, and seeks her seekers. He is already wise who seeks to be wise, and he has almost found wisdom who diligently seeks her. What is true of wisdom in general is especially true of wisdom embodied in our Lord Jesus. Him we are to love and to seek, and in return we shall enjoy His love, and find Himself. Our business is to seek Jesus early in life. Happy are the young whose morning is spent with Jesus! It is never too soon to seek the Lord Jesus. Early seekers make certain finders. We should seek Him early by diligence. Thriving tradesmen are early risers, and thriving saints seek Jesus eagerly. Those who find Jesus to their enrichment give their hearts to seeking Him. We must seek Him first, and thus earliest. Above all things Jesus.

Jesus first, and nothing else, even as a bad second.

The blessing is that He will be found. He reveals Himself more and more clearly to our search. He gives Himself up more fully to our fellowship. Happy men who seek One who, when He is found, remains with them forever, a treasure growingly precious to their hearts and understandings. Lord Jesus, I have found thee; be found of me to an unutterable degree of joyous satisfaction.

Prayer: Thank You Father for Your love and assurance that when I earnestly look for you I will find You in Jesus’ name, Amen.

MORNING August 23

"The voice of weeping shall be no more heard. "—Isaiah 65:19

—Nunca más se oirán en ella voz de lloro —Isaías 65:19
 

THE glorified weep no more [have stopped crying], for all outward causes of grief are gone. There are no broken friendships, nor blighted prospects [ruined or unkept promises] in heaven.

Poverty, famine, peril, persecution, and slander are unknown there. No pain distresses; no thought of death or bereavement saddens.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     They weep no more, for they are perfectly sanctified. No "evil heart of unbelief" prompts them to depart from the living God; they are without fault before His throne and are fully conformed to His image.

Well may they cease to mourn who have ceased to sin. They weep no more, because all fear of change is past. They know that they are eternally secure. Sin is shut out and they are shut in. They dwell within a city that will never be stormed [attacked]; they bask in a sun that will never set; they drink of a river that will never dry; they pluck [pick] fruit from a tree that will never wither [die]. Countless cycles may revolve but eternity will not be exhausted [end], and while eternity endures, their immortality and blessedness shall co-exist with it.

They are forever with the Lord. They weep no more, because every desire is fulfilled. They cannot wish for anything they have not in possession. Eye and ear, heart and hand, judgment, imagination, hope, desire, will—all the faculties—are completely satisfied; and imperfect as our present ideas are of the things that God has prepared for them that love Him, yet we know enough by the revelation of the Spirit, that the saints above are supremely blessed. The joy of Christ, which is an infinite fullness of delight, is in them. They bathe themselves in the bottomless, shore-less sea of infinite beatitude [never ending blessing]. That same joyful rest remains for us. It may not be far distant. Before long the weeping willow will be exchanged for the palm branch of victory, and sorrow's dewdrops will be transformed into the pearls of everlasting bliss. "Wherefore comfort one another with these words."

EVENING August 23

"That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith. —Ephesians 3:17

—Que habite Cristo por la fe en vuestros corazones—Efesios 3:17
 

Beyond measure it is desirable that we, as believers, should have the person of Jesus constantly before us, to inflame our love towards him, and to increase our knowledge of him. I would to God that my readers were all entered as diligent scholars in Jesus' college, students of Corpus Christi, or the body of Christ, resolved to attain unto a good degree in the learning of the cross.

But to have Jesus ever near, the heart must be full of him, welling up with his love, even to overrunning; hence the apostle prays

"that Christ may dwell in your hearts."

See how near he would have Jesus to be! You cannot get a subject closer to you than to have it in the heart itself.

"That he may dwell;"

not that he may call upon you sometimes, as a casual visitor enters into a house and tarries for a night, but that he may dwell;
that Jesus may become the Lord and Tenant of your inmost being, never more to go out.

Observe the words
--that he may dwell in your heart, that best room of the house of manhood; not in your thoughts alone, but in your affections; not merely in the mind's meditations, but in the heart's emotions.

We should pant after love to Christ of a most abiding character, not a love that flames up and then dies out into the darkness of a few embers, but a constant flame, fed by sacred fuel, like the fire upon the altar which never went out. This cannot be accomplished except by faith. Faith must be strong, or love will not be fervent; the root of the flower must be healthy, or we cannot expect the bloom to be sweet. Faith is the lily's root, and love is the lily's bloom.

Now, reader, Jesus cannot be in your heart's love except you have a firm hold of him by your heart's faith; and, therefore,

 

pray that you may always trust Christ in order that you may always love him. If love be cold, [you may] be sure that faith is drooping.

A SINNER’S PRAYER

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, like this. Won’t you?

“Lord Jesus, I’m a sinner. I’m lost and hopeless to save myself. Without you and your blood that was shed for me and Your death on the cross I would spend eternity in Hell’s fire.

Thank you Lord Jesus that You love me and died for me before I was born and that You have always loved me and will never reject or turn your back on me. I know You are the Way, the Truth and the Life and that no one can come to the Father but by You.

Thank you, Father that You have caused for me to see myself as I am; a lost sinner. But, because of Your love and goodness, You have made a way and given me the desire to come to You, to turn away from my sin and to trust in You, Lord Jesus. You took my place on the cross and provided the way for me to be forgiven. Thank You.

Thank You that You prompted a desire in me to believe in You, the only begotten Son of God who died on the cross to be the sacrifice that would atone for my sins.

Thank You, Father for Your love that allowed Jesus to suffer and die in my place. Thank You that You raised Jesus from the dead. He is RISEN and is ALIVE and in Him we are victorious over sin, death and the grave and in Christ Jesus I am free.

You raised Jesus from the dead, gave Him a Glorified body and after he was seen by many witnesses on earth You took Him up to reign with You in heaven.

Thank you, Father, for saving me in the name, of Your only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Romans 6:11

Thank you, Holy Spirit, that you always give witness to and exalt the Lord Jesus Christ.

John 16:8-11

With all my heart, thank you Lord for saving me.

Live Your life in me, Lord Jesus, in Your name I pray, Amen.

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. He is not the author of confusion.

1 Corinthians 14:33

MISSION STATEMENT:

… Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. Ecclesiastes 12:13

Our solemn aim is to trust and obey the Lord Jesus in everything. We must rely upon God entirely to achieve His purposes in us and through us.

Loving and worshiping God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength in Spirit and in truth is a labor of love and duty of every believer. Desire will grow stronger as we give ourselves to prayer, reading and meditating on God’s Word, gathering ourselves together to hear Gospel preaching, the singing of Psalms, sacred hymns and spiritual songs.

We purpose, with God’s help, to reach the lost, comfort, strengthen and encourage believers, and rightly divide God’s Word to proclaim the Gospel (Good News) of Jesus Christ to every creature.

The Holy Bible is God’s eternal, inerrant, infallible, immutable revealed and divinely preserved Word. It is His completed scripture of all revealed truth. He brings guidance and the knowledge of His will to us personally and to each local body of Christian believers through His Word. With God’s help and empowerment, we will read, study, meditate-on, trust-in and obey God’s Holy Bible and encourage others to do the same. We hold it to be the supreme authority and the preeminent and divinely established precedent [Stare Decisis Latin: to stand by that which is decided, the legal doctrine of precedence, literally "to stand by decided matters"] in all things.

Therefore, the purpose of The John Mark Publishing Company is to publish the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every creature. And, to serve all, in love, especially those in the household of faith. We are compelled by this purpose to follow, and rightly apply and proclaim, God’s Holy Word, the Bible, as God’s divinely preserved truth; being the essential authority and goal of this ministry.

The Metropolitan Tabernacle: Home church of Charles H. Spurgeon

The preaching, teaching, soul winning and writings of Charles Haddon Spurgeon are firmly fixed on the bedrock of Holy Scripture. His entire ministry was established, empowered and inspired solely by God’s Holy Word imparted to him by the Holy Spirit. His written works continue to bless, guide, challenge and benefit today’s readers through the publication of his authentic Gospel sermons and other inspired writing His ministry continues to thrive and flourish today through the Metropolitan Tabernacle a church begun in 1650 The present building was constructed in 1861 and was rebuilt after the destruction caused during the second world war. This church has been steadfast in it’s adherence to Reformed Baptist theology that Spurgeon said was just a nickname for Biblical Christianity. They have resisted and continue to reject worldly winds of false doctrine, including pragmatism and self-centered “Christian hedonism”. Biblical Christianity will always show itself as a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, never just a philosophy or religion.

Mission Aim: Spurgeon's sermons and devotional messages have edified the church body and have been a great benefit, to all readers for many years. We pray they will be useful to strengthen personal discipleship in each and every believer and will be a useful instrument in the spreading of the Gospel [Good news] of Jesus Christ, the Messiah to all nations. 

________________________________________

MISSION PURPOSE:

Our aim is to trust and obey the Lord Jesus Christ in everything. We rely wholly upon the Holy Spirit to impart God’s divine revelation to us from His Word, the Holy Bible. With God’s help, we will follow Jesus. We expect that lost souls will be saved, believers, comforted, strengthened and encouraged. To God be all the glory.

The Bible is God’s divinely inspired [God breathed] revealed, infinite, eternal, inerrant, infallible, immutable Word to all mankind. This divine, supernatural Word brings all revealed truth to the world. We purpose, therefore, to follow God’s Holy Word, Personal guidance and guidance to the local church comes by His Word.

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

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. It is also the essential foundation of this ministry.

History: The inspired preaching, teaching and writing of Charles Haddon Spurgeon is all empowered by God’s revealed Word the Bible. His written publications continue to benefit readers through authentic Gospel preaching and sound biblical teaching. This ministry continues to flourish through The Metropolitan Tabernacle in London

 

Presented here are Spurgeon's writings for the edification of the church as well as for the benefit, blessing and gospel challenge to all readers. Our desire is that the written Word of God will become the Living Word in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ to each and every reader.

To this end, this website is offered to encourage and provide opportunity to hear Gospel preaching, and to engage in daily devotions, meditation, Bible study and prayer. 

________________________________________

Prayer: Dear Lord, empower your ministry to win many souls, and serve those in need, especially those in the household of faith, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.

Disclaimer: The John Mark Publishing Company does not solicit praise of Charles H. Spurgeon or his writing or preaching. He didn’t need or want it then and wouldn’t desire it now. Our aim is to lift up and glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and to preach Christ Jesus only and him crucified.

Precaution: These Messages and prayers will not substitute for continual fellowship with the Lord Jesus or for gathering in in-person worship. Neither will they replace personal reading, meditation, prayer and fasting over God's divinely preserved and eternal Word imparted by the Holy Spirit.

The Authorized King James Version (AKJV), also known as the Authorized Version (AV), is the authentic English Bible because it is rendered [translated into English] accurately and faithfully from the established majority of the Greek Textus Receptus [received text] manuscripts of the New Testament and the Hebrew Masoretic Text of the Old Testament (The Jewish Tanakh)  These manuscripts are providentially protected of God, and always give a greater glory to God when compared to variant readings. The established majority manuscripts avoid doctrinal error, inaccuracies in translation, uninspired editorial notations, variant or ambiguous readings taken from Codices Vaticanus, or Sinaiticus.

 

The Authorized King James version is distinguished also by the requirement of Great Brittan that all King James bibles be printed only by the Cambridge University Press, the Crown’s authorized printer. No other [person or publisher] may print, copy or import the King James Bible into Great Brittan by order of the Crown.

Printed Prayer: Printed prayers must not be read or offered as a substitute for personal, fervent, effectual, heart-felt, prayer. They are offered, rather, to warm the hearts of those who will presently seek a season of fervent, authentic two-way, heart-to-heart fellowship and prayer with the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Authentic revelations from God during prayer are always consistent with His revealed Word, the Bible.

Preaching Preparation: When preparing to preach, please send us the text reference that has been chosen if you would like us to send the Spurgeon Sermon addressing the same text.

My Prayer is that You would touch, lift up, encourage and teach all who faithfully minister your Word. Bless all who minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ. May Your blessing and holy anointing fall fresh upon each dear reader and abide with each one who rightly divides and faithfully proclaims Your Word [The Bible]. Please save many souls; and may all be glory be yours alone. I pray this in the name of our Redeemer, The Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
