DEVOTION for  January 8th   *A,D, 2026. Written and calendared for this date by Charles Haddon Spurgeon 1834-1892.

________________________________________________

 

The inspired preaching, teaching and writings  of Charles Haddon Spurgeon were bedrock solid on God’s revealed Word, the Bible.  Spurgeon’s  written publications continue to benefit readers with inspired Gospel preaching and sound biblical teaching. His ministry continues to flourish in London’s   Metropolitan Tabernacle.  (Brief History)   a church begun in 1650. The building was constructed by members of the congregation in 1861. It continues to thrive and flourish today.

 

                 Charles Haddon Spurgeon’s Conversion   in 1850  in his own words.

All Bible versions that are NOT  translated from the Textus Receptus [The (traditional) Received Greek Text] include variant  readings that diminish the full  expressions of glory and the most Holy reverence due to the Omnipotent, Almighty GOD.  He preserves and protects its  immutably  in the 1769 Edition of the 1611 King James Version  Bible KJV. This version is known as the Authorized King James  Version  AKJV and the  Authorized Version AV.  ALL GLORY is due and must be given to the Omnipotent and Omniscient  LORD of ALL.

 

The Geneva Bible was also faithfully translated from the Greek Textus Receptus and included  comments favorable to the Protestant Reformation  from inspired, devoted,  faithful Christian men of GOD; They were Puritan Believers known to be  beyond reproach.

This Bible was first 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 [Received Greek Text] unlike any other Greek Text was taken  from more than 5,321 original Majority Greek Manuscripts MT that agree 98% with one another. Other variant readings are 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.

Bridge to Babylon The 1881 Textual Criticism Controversy

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

 

The historical video Bridge to Babylon presents evidence that tracks the explosion of more than 100 new versions or editions of English translations  of the Bible. The attempts to change by adding to, or taking away from the 1769 edition of the King James Version KJV of the Holy Bible will never prevail because GOD Himself preserves and protects His  inspired, inerrant, immutable and infallible  Holy Word of GOD from any heresy, blasphemy, confusion , errors, additions, subtractions or any change.

 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/our] Lord”.  The complete  original phrase "anno Domini nostri Jesu Christi" means "in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ”. A.D. and together with B.C. Before Christ   is used to divide all history before and after the birth of Jesus the Christ [Messiah].   ...More

Can   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.

 I therefore must and do audibly 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 include “ictin” the Greek word that means “is” in English] and  its exclusion erroneously causes the meaning of its English , “is here” to change from “is” come” [is here] to “has” come”.

 

This translation  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, when taken at face value, the  meaning of  “has come” is clearly not the same as “is here”. When has come is the meaning   the scriptural test to discern whether the words being analyzed are from the Spirit of God or the spirit of antichrist is completely negated.

 

The most well documented fact in all of human history is that Jesus Christ [Anointed Messiah]  “has” come in the flesh. However, the question of much greater importance,  is not whether the spirit [a spoken or written word] being considered and tested confesses that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh but, whether the confession being made affirms that Jesus Christ, “is come” [is now here],  in the flesh.

 

Compare and consider [Meditate upon] scripture with other relative scripture:  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 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 affirm and avow that Jesus Christ is here

 

[Not “Has come”] in the flesh.

Which Bible Is The Best?  (57 min.) David Hocking

 

GOD’S HOLY WORD is

Immutable, [unchanging and, unable to mutate or be changed],  Inspired, [God breathed],

Infallible,[Incapable of failing]  

Inerrant [Without error]

Self-Authenticating  [The Bible is considered self-authenticating because proponents believe it contains inherent divine qualities—like unity, majesty, power, and internal consistency—that reveal its divine origin, convincing readers of its truth without solely relying on external historical proof or church testimony. This concept, championed by Reformers, suggests the Holy Spirit illuminates these features (like the "heavenliness of its matter," "efficacy of its doctrine," and "majesty of its style") within the text itself, allowing believers to perceive God's Word directly, much like seeing God's glory in Christ.]

Providentially 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] , O Lord, thou shalt preserve them [Thy Words] from this generation for ever. (AKJV).

 

Isaiah 40:8: 8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: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).

 

Psalm 119:89:  89 For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven, Psalm 119:89).  (AKJV).

 

The Authorized King James Version (AKJV)  AKA the Authorized Version (AV) is faithfully Translated from the preeminent, [surpassing all others]  traditional Greek Textus Receptus [Received Text] and is superior to all Critical Text translations or editions.

Which Bible Is The Best?  (57 min.) David Hocking

 

David’s Summary  (8 min.) The problem is not English, but which Greek text was used to render the English translation.

 

1 John 4:1-3  

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

Psalm 119:89  ל   (Lamed)  Forever,  O  Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.

 

“Thy Word” is The Inspired and Ultimate Stare Decisis [The Latin phrase that means to stand by things decided, 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, from God, in the flesh.”  

 

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

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

 

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

 

The  error, “has come” is self- evident, because non-believers, false prophets and even heretics  can, and sometimes do,  make the confession that He “has come” in the flesh. This is no surprise to us because the birth of Jesus Christ is the most well documented fact in all of recorded history.  Indeed, it is a factual statement that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. While this is, on the surface a true statement, when “has come” replaces “is come” its altered meaning does not now provide the test of  discernment as to  whether a spirit [voiced or written words being read or heard] is  either from God or from antichrist.  It is  true that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh, but it’s essential and of crucial importance, that the confession that Jesus Christ, “is here,  in the flesh.” Be made out-loud.

 

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

 

Therefore we study:
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 is alive today,

and He is coming soon 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

They will love the time they spend with you and “Christian”, The Pilgrim Protagonist and main character.

 

Pilgrim’s Progress is the world’s most famous allegory and is second only to the Holy Bible as the all-time, world-wide best seller. It’s also claimed by some to be the world’s first English novel as it predates  Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Caruso published in 1719
It blesses and has encouraged and instructed pilgrims of all ages for centuries.

       DailySpurgeon.com

 

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

 

Rather, the Website’s  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 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 by Holy Scripture to assemble,  praise and worship God. Thus we worship the Lord Jesus Christ and exhort and provoke one another to do good works.

Such worship takes 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 may not satisfy personal interaction, or the fellowship of an        in-person assembly. Electronic media cannot substitute for the physical inter-personal fellowship, commitment, and humility, 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 DailySpurgeon.com  as an instrumentality for building up of fully devoted followers of the Lord Jesus Christ who are being taught and are taught  to teach  others to be disciples; Fully devoted followers of The Lord Jesus Christ [The Messiah].

We pray that you will also be an inspired instrumentality of God to share the good news of Jesus Christ with every creature, encouraging them to become the very image of Jesus Christ. 

 

This ministry was begun as daily e-mails of Faith’s Checkbook by Charles H. Spurgeon were sent to Jon Edward Riley.  Jon shared these messages with others and soon many wered added to the mailing list 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; 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 or to anyone who would listen.

… 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  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, creative, redeemed and loving heart.

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, of course, it doesn’t  compare with the Glory of being in the actual presence of the LORD.

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.

 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 etc.

  

…Jon would always say “Later”; [as in, see-ya later] instead of “good bye”.  It was his only farewell greeting 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?)

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.

2 Corinthians 1.20

The goodness of God is fully demonstrated in the promises He makes in the Bible. That the Creator and Sovereign God should deign to give promises to us is amazing. Here are the major promises, how Christ makes them possible, and how we receive them.

Sanctify Them Through Thy Truth      John 17:17    Dr. Peter Masters, Pastor
Sanctification (purification, consecration and commitment) by the Word is the will of Christ for His own, and here we turn to the first three of the Ten Commandments to challenge our souls. How should these be applied today in our lives and churches?
 

Closeness to Christ    2 Timothy 2:10-12   Dr.  Peter Masters

In this hostile world, believers cannot live successfully and fruitfully without Christ being with their spirits. Here is why the soul is also called the spirit, and what it means for Christ to be with our spirit. Examples and counsels for securing His nearness.

What Is the Gospel  by the late Dr. R. C. Sproul
Christians are called to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but in our day there is confusion about the content of the Gospel. The biblical Gospel is challenged not only by Roman Catholics and liberals, but by those who claim to be evangelical. In this lecture, Dr. R. C. Sproul will clarify exactly what the Gospel is and what it is not.

Thy Hand Was Heavy Upon Me  Psalm 32:3-4  by Charles H. Spurgeon

(Terrible Convictions and Gentle Drawings) - Preached on May 6. 1860 by C.H. Spurgeon at Exeter Hall. Recorded by Charles Koelsch,  Christian Sermons and Audio Books ca. 2018
The Phenomenon of Love Isaiah 63.7   Dr. Peter Masters  
The nature and scope of human love is impressive, but Divine love, made visible in history and, supremely in the atoning sacrifice of Christ, is limitless, freely bestowed and certain toward all who find Him. Here are the 'loving-kindnesses of the Lord' they experience.
Living for the Flesh or for the Spirit  Romans 8.5-6     Dr. Peter Masters
There are two classes of people in the Bible, those who focus on 'the flesh', and those who relate to the Spirit. Here are the characteristics and goals of each, and how God can free us from the captivity of flesh to know communion with Himself.
Mutual Debts in Marriage    1 Corinthians 7:3    Dr. Peter Masters  15 January 2012
A key word has slipped out of some modern translations – the marital debt of benevolence, meaning goodwill and kind benefits. Here are seven debts each has to the other in Christian marriage, a sevenfold bond and blessing to the crowning earthly friendship of life’s journey. Are we paying what is ‘due’?

God’s Order for Man and Women   1 Corinthians Ch 11   Dr. Peter Masters
Paul answers the question on the roles of husbands and wives and affirms conformity to the dress code of head coverings in Greek society at that time. With Calvin and major confessions we show that the ‘message’ of clothing may change in other ages and lands.

Things Only Believers See   1 Corinthians 2:9   Dr. Peter Masters
Sunday Morning 13 February 2022
The apostle impresses upon us the spiritual blindness of the unconverted state to the wonders revealed in the Gospel, including future glories (described here). Here also is the meaning of 'comparing spiritual things with spiritual,'   judging all things and living the mind of Christ

In the building of a spiritual family the work of the Holy Spirit is the vital power. Here several Holy Spirit verses in Ephesians are explored (including 'Be filled with the Spirit') to show the different activities of the Spirit in the Christian life.

The True Source of Power       Dr. Peter Masters
Sunday Morning 23 January 2022 
For the Gospel to be credible, (the Corinthians [and many today] erroneously taught), we need  conspicuous personalities or preachers. Here Paul proclaims the true source of spiritual power, the preaching of the cross of Christ, and why it is foolishness to the perishing and power to the saved.

He Loved and Gave Himself   with Dr. Peter Masters

The enduring amazement of Paul the Apostle shines through these famous words, urging us to explore and ponder the glorious Person of Christ and the way in which He 'gave Himself', or handed Himself over, to the work of redeeming His people.

Yes. Stand for the Truth, Won’t you?

________________________________________

PRAYER 2 Part 1 of 4 January 8th   THANKS BE UNTO GOD.

 

O LORD God, help us now really to worship Thee. We would [choose to] thank Thee for this occasion. We bless Thy name for setting apart this hallowed season.

 

Lord, wilt [will] Thou shut the door upon the world for us? Help us to forget our cares. Enable us to rise clean out of this world. May we get rid of all its down-dragging tendencies. May the attractions of these grossest things be gone, and do Thou [Lord]  catch [grab us secretly] away to Thyself .

We do not ask to be entranced [put in a trance] nor to see an angel in shining apparel, but we do ask that by faith we may see Jesus, and may His presence be so evidently realized among us that we may rejoice as well as if our [natural] eyes beheld Him, and love Him and trust Him and worship Him as earnestly as we should [would] do if we could now put our fingers into the print of the nails.

O, Thou precious Lord Jesus Christ, we [I] do adore Thee with all our hearts [my heart]. Thou art Lord of all. We bless Thee for becoming man that Thou mightest [might] be our next of kin, and being next of kin we bless Thee for taking us into marriage union with Thyself and for redeeming us and our inheritance from the captivity into which we were sold.

 

Thou hast [have] paid Thy life for Thy people; Thou hast ransomed [have paid the ransom for] Thy folk with Thy heart’s blood.

 

Be Thou, [May You] therefore, forever beloved and adored. And now, Thou art [are] not here, for Thou art [are] risen. Our souls would [choose to] track the shining way by which Thou hast [have] ascended through the gate of pearl up to Thy Father’s throne.

 

We seem to see Thee sitting there,  man, yet God, reigning over all things for Thy people, and our ears almost catch the accents [beat] of the everlasting song which rolls up at Thy  feet:

 

“Worthy is the Lamb that was slain (Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir) to receive honor, and power, and glory, and dominion, and might for ever and ever.”

 

Lord, we say,

 

“Amen.”

 

From the outskirts of the crowd that surround Thy throne we lift up our feeble voices in earnest

 

 “Amens,”

 

for Thou wast [were] slain and hast [have] redeemed us to God by Thy [blood and hast [have] made us kings and priests unto God, and we shall reign with Thee, for though far off by space, we know that we are very near to Thy heart. [In Jesus name, Amen]

ANECDOTE 159: January 8th  DEATH THE CHRISTIAN AWAKENING.

 

Let us imitate Mr. John Wesley as he calmly  anticipated his end [death].

 

A lady once asked Mr. Wesley, “Suppose that you knew you were to die at twelve o’clock to-morrow night, how would you spend the intervening time?”

 

“How, madam?” he replied, “why just as I intend to spend it now. I should preach this evening at Gloucester, and again at five tomorrow morning ; after that I should ride to Tewkesbury, preach in the afternoon, and meet the society in the evening. I should then repair [go] to friend Martin’s house, who expects to entertain me; converse and pray with the family as usual; retire to my room at ten o clock, commend myself to my heavenly Father, lie down to rest, and wake up in glory.”

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK January 8th  PURITY OF HEART AND LIFE  by  C.H. Spurgeon

-Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.- Matthew 5:8

-Bienaventurados los de limpio corazon: porque ellos veran a Dios.- Mateo 5:8

 

Purity, even purity of heart, is the main thing to be aimed at. We need to be made clean within, through the [Holy] Spirit and the Word, and then we shall be clean without [on the outside] by consecration [internal devotion] and obedience.

 

There is a close connection between the affections and the understanding: if we love evil, we cannot understand that which is good. If the heart is foul [unclean], the eye will be dim. How can those men see a holy God who [those men] love unholy things?

 

What a privilege it is to see God here! A glimpse of Him is Heaven below! In Christ Jesus the pure-in-heart behold the Father. We see Him, His truth, His love, His purpose, His sovereignty, His covenant [divine] character, yea, [Yes] we see Himself [God the Father] in Christ.

 

But this is Only apprehended [learned and understood] as [long as] sin is kept out of the heart. Only those who aim at godliness can cry,

 

-Mine eyes are ever towards the Lord.- The desire of Moses,

 

-I beseech [earnestly plead] thee, show me thy glory,- can only be fulfilled in us as we purify ourselves from all iniquity.

 

We shall  -see him as he is- ;

 

and -every one that hath this hope in him [Jesus Christ] purifieth [purifies] himself.-

 

The enjoyment of present fellowship and the hope of the beatific [blissful] vision are urgent motives for purity of heart and life.

 

Lord, make us pure in heart, that we may see Thee!

 

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus The Living Stones Quartet

Words and tune by Helen Howarth Lemmel 1922

 

Prayer: Keep our hearts pure O Lord so that we always see Jesus, Emannuel, [GOD WITH US].   Amen.

MORNING January 8th  "THE INIQUITY OF THE HOLY THINGS."— Exodus 28:38

- El pecado de las cosas santas— Exodo 28:38

 

WHAT a veil is lifted up [such revelation comes] by these words, and what a disclosure is made! It will be humbling and profitable for us to pause awhile and see this sad sight.

 

The iniquities of our public worship, its hypocrisy, formality, and luke-warmness, [neither hot nor cold] its irreverence; what a full measure we have of wandering of heart [day-dreaming] and forgetfulness of God.

 

What a mass of defilement [filthiness] is our work for the Lord, its emulation, selfishness, carelessness, slackness, and unbelief.

 

What a mountain of dead earth is our private devotions, their laxity, coldness, neglect, sleepiness, and vanity.

If we looked more carefully, we should find this iniquity to be far greater than appears at first sight.

 

Dr. Payson, writing to his brother, says, “My parish [church members], as well as my heart, very much resembles the garden of the sluggard [lazy one] ; and what is worse, I find that very many of my desires for the melioration [forging together] of both proceed either from pride [self-indulgence and overly concerned about what others think] or vanity [placing myself above all others] or indolence [laziness, and apathy]. I look at the weeds which overspread my garden, and breathe out an earnest wish that they were eradicated. But why? What prompts the wish? It may be that I may walk out and say to myself,

'In what fine order is my garden kept!'

 

This is pride.

 

Or, it may be that my neighbors may look over the wall and say 'How finely your garden flourishes!'

 

This is vanity.

 

Or I may wish for the destruction of the weeds, because I am weary of pulling them up.

This is indolence." [laziness]

 

Even our desires after holiness may be polluted by the wrong  motives. Under the greenest sod [lawns] worms hide themselves; we need not look long to discover them. How cheering is the thought, that when our High Priest [The Lord Jesus]  bore the iniquity of the holy things he wore upon his brow the words,

 

"holiness to the Lord," and even so while Jesus bears [dies on the cross for] our sin, He presents before His Father's face not our unholiness, but His own holiness.

 

O for grace to view our great High Priest [The Lord Jesus] by the eye of faith!

[Spanish: El Sumo Sacerdote] 

Note: (This was a favorite expression of beloved son Jon Edward  1971-2021) Who’s Spanish was often used by him to express his love.

EVENING, January 8th  "THY LOVE IS BETTER THAN WINE. "—Song of Solomon 1:2

- Mejores son tus amores que el vino—Cantares 1:2

 

NOTHING gives the believer so much joy as fellowship with Christ. He has enjoyment as others have in the common mercies of life, he can be glad both in God's gifts and God's works; but in all these separately, yea, and in all of them added together, he does not find such substantial delight as in the matchless person of his Lord Jesus [Christ, anointed MESSIAH] .

 

He has wine that no vineyard on earth ever yielded; he has bread that all the cornfields of Egypt could never bring forth [produce]. Where can such sweetness as we have tasted in communion with our Beloved [Lord Jesus] be found?

 

In our esteem, [estimation] the joys of earth are little better than husks for swine compared with Jesus, the heavenly manna [miraculous bread of life].

 

We would rather have one mouthful of Christ's love, and a sip of his fellowship, than a whole world full of carnal delights [fleshly pleasures].

 

What is the chaff to the wheat? What is the sparkling paste [a counterfit fake] to the true diamond? What is a dream to the glorious reality? What is time's mirth [laughter], in its best trim, [at its best] compared to our Lord Jesus in His most despised estate?

If you know anything of the inner life, you will confess that our highest, purest, and most enduring joys must be the fruit of the tree of life that is in the midst of the Paradise of God.

 

No spring yields such sweet water as that well of God that was digged [dug] with the soldier's spear. All earthly bliss is of the earth, earthy,

 

but the comforts of Christ's presence are like Himself, heavenly.

 

We can review our communion [fellowship] with Jesus, and find no regrets of emptiness therein; there are no dregs [sediment] in this wine, no dead flies in this ointment. The joy of the Lord is solid and enduring.

Vanity has not looked on it, but discretion and prudence testify that it abides the test of years, and is in time and in eternity worthy to be called

 

“the only true delight.”

 

For nourishment, consolation, exhilaration, and refreshment, no wine can rival the love of Jesus.

 

Let us drink all of it whenever communion is taken   [The Lord’s Supper]. 

____________________________________________
 

 Our solemn  aim is to trust and obey the Lord Jesus in everything. We must rely upon God completely 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:
       The  inspired preaching, teaching, soul winning and writings of Charles Haddon Spurgeon were solely based, empowered and inspired by God’s Holy Word the Bible.  His written sermons and devotional messages continue to benefit today’s readers through authentic  Gospel preaching. His ministry continues to thrive and flourish from the original (Spurgeon)  Metropolitan Tabernacle a church begun in 1650.  The present  building was constructed in 1861 and rebuilt after the destruction during the second world war.

 

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 every believer and to spread the Gospel [Good news] of Jesus Christ, the Messiah to every person.

 

The Essence of the Gospel:
 

• God is Holy and good  and not willing that any should perish.

• Man is sinful and bad  and hopelessly lost without God.

• Even so, God  made provision for sinful men to be reconciled to Himself. God loved the world so much He gave Jesus Christ, His only begotten son,  that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.  God didn’t send Him into the world  to condemn the world but that the world through Him might be saved.

 

A SINNER’S  PRAYER  January 8th

  

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. Won’t you?

 

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

I know that me doing my best or being good (in my own opinion)  and justifying my own behavior as "good"  or "OK"  can never be enough to save me.
I look to You, alone  Lord Jesus to save me. 
I come to You   right now.  Lord Jesus. Will You  please save me.  I believe You died on the cross in my place to pay for my sin debt and put to death my sin nature. I know  You always keep your word.  Please save me. You have said and  it’s written in the Bible that you won’t reject anyone who comes to you. Thank You.

I  give myself completely to You, Lord Jesus. I’m sorry for every sin I’ve done and I now turn away from each one and look to You to forgive me, save me and deliver me from future evil.  Thank you for forgiving  all of  my sins by dying on the cross paying the punishment that I deserve.  I’m a sinner by nature and by my actions. But now I'm washed clean by Your blood that was shed for me at the cross.

Thank you Lord Jesus that You loved me and died for me before I was bor n and that You love me now and will always love 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 other than by You.

Thank you, Father that You have made a way for me to see myself as ungodly.  But,  because You are good You have made a way and given me the desire to come to You, to turn away from my sin and to trust in the Lord Jesus.  You have forgiven me because He took my place and You have provided for  me to be born again [born from above, born of the Holy Spirit]. 
You prompted this desire and faith to believe in Your only begotten Son who,gave up  His life and died on the cross to pay my sin debt, not mine alone, but the sins of the whole world.

Thank You, righteous Father of love that you allowed Jesus to suffer and die raised Jesus from the dead. He is ALIVE and in Him we are victorious over sin, death and the grave and in Christ Jesus there is no condemnation. After You raised Him from the dead You gave Him a Glorified, [everlasting] physical body and  after he was seen by many witnesses on earth You took Him up to reign with  You  in heaven. 

 

Thank you for saving me.  I pray this in the name, of Your only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ with a grateful heart.   Thank You for saving me heavenly Father and for the Comforter, The Spirit of Truth, for my guidance and solemn instruction into all truth.,  Amen.”

Thank You Holy Spirit of Truth, Comforter, Paraclete [one who comes along side]  for the new life in Jesus and victory that comes when I recon myself dead indeed unto sin and alive unto God through Christ Jesus our Lord trusting You, Holy Spirit for the execution of this vow.

 Romans 6:11

Thank you, Holy Spirit, that you always bear witness of and exalt the Lord Jesus.  John 16:8-11

 

With all my heart, thank you Lord for saving me.
Abide in me Lord Jesus in Your name I pray, Amen.

Index to the 533 Scriptural  References cited in The Pilgrim's Progress    A.D. 1687 

        John Bunyan did not write nor hold to a world view of any kind.
