A SINNER’S PRAYER  February 13th

 

PRAYER 8,   Part 5 of 7 February 13th   A PRAYER FOR HOLINESS.

Lord, help the converted [born again] child to be correct in his relation to his parents; help the Christian father or mother to be right in dealing with children, “may they not provoke their children to anger [not cause anger] lest they may discourage them [so children won’t be discouraged].” 

 Attachment: PRAYER 8.doc)

ANECDOTE  195: February 13th SOLID FOOTING FOR FAITH.

        Mr. Innis, a great Scotch minister, once visited an infidel who was dying. When he came to him the first time, he said, “Mr. Innis, I am relying on the mercy of God; God is merciful, and he will never damn a man forever. ”When he got worse and was nearer death, Mr. Innis went to him again, and he said, “Mr. Innis, my hope is gone ;  for I have been thinking, if God be merciful, God is just, too; and what if, instead of being merciful to me, he should be just to me?  What would then become of me? I must give up my hope in the mere mercy of God; tell me how to be saved !”

 “Mr. Innis told him that Christ had died in the stead of [in the place of]  all believers  [and] that God could be just, and yet the justifier through the death of Christ. “Ah!” said he, “Mr. Innis, there is something solid in that; I can rest on that ; I cannot  rest on anything else;”

and it is a remarkable fact that none of us ever met with a man who thought he had his sins forgiven unless it was through the blood of [Jesus] Christ.

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK  February 13th  BLESSED IN THE FIELD  by C.H. Spurgeon 1834—1892
-Blessed shalt thou be in the field  -Deuteronomy 28:3

 

        So was Isaac blessed when he walked therein at eventide [there in the evening]  to meditate. How often has the Lord met us when we have been alone! The hedges and the trees can bear witness to our joy.  We look for such blessedness again.  So was Boaz blessed when he reaped his harvest, and his workmen met him with benedictions.  May the Lord prosper all who drive the plough! Every farmer may urge this promise with God, if indeed he obeys the voice of the Lord God.
 

        We go to the field to labor as father Adam did; and since the curse fell on the soil through the sin of the first Adam, it is a great comfort to find a blessing through the second Adam [Jesus Christ].
 

        We go to the field for exercise, and we are happy in the belief that the Lord will bless that exercise, and give us health, which we will use to His glory.
 

        We go to the field to study nature, and there is nothing in a knowledge of the visible creation which may not be sanctified to the highest uses by the divine benediction.

 

        We have at last to go to the field to bury our dead; yea, others will in their turn take us to God’s acre in the field: but we are blessed, whether weeping at the tomb, or sleeping in it.

Prayer:  Thank you Lord that we will be blessed in the field;  in work, in meditation,  in healthful exercise, in study and in burying our dead. Give us full assurance of this blessing in Jesus name I pray, Amen.

 MORNING    February 13th "BEHOLD, WHAT MANNER OF LOVE THE FATHER HATH BESTOWED UPON US ,

         "Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us ,that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not [doesn’t know us], because it knew Him not. Beloved, now are we the sons of God." —1 John 3:1, 2

MIRAD cuál amor nos ha dado el Padre, que seamos llamados hijos de Dios: por esto el mundo no nos conoce, porque no le conoce á él.  Muy amados, ahora somos hijos de Dios
1 Juan 3:1, 2

BEHOLD, what manner of  love the Father hath be­stowed upon [granted to] us." Consider who we were, and what we feel ourselves to be even now when corruption is powerful in us, and you will wonder [be amazed]  at our adoption.

 

Yet [even more] we are called "the sons of God." What a high re­lationship is that of a son, and what privileges it brings! What care and tenderness the son expects from his father, and what love the father feels towards the son! But all that, and more than that, we now have through Christ.

 

As for the temporary drawback of suffering with the elder brother, this we accept as an honor: "Therefore the world knoweth [knows] us not [doesn’t know us], because it knew Him not [didn’t know Him]." We are content to be unknown with Him in His humilia­tion, for we are to be exalted with Him.

 

"Beloved, now are we the sons of God." That is easy to read, but it is not so easy to feel [experience]. How is it with your heart this morn­ing? Are you in the lowest depths of sorrow? Does cor­ruption rise within your spirit, and grace seem like a poor spark trampled under foot? Does your faith almost fail you?

 

Fear not [don’t be afraid],  it is neither your graces nor feelings on which you are to live: you must live simply by faith in [Jesus] Christ. Now with all these things against us, in the very depths of our sorrow or wherever we may be, as much in the valley as on the mountain, "Beloved, now are we the sons of God."

 

"Ah, but," you say, "see how I am arrayed [look how plain I am]! My graces are not bright; my righteousness does not shine with apparent glory." But read the next: "It doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear,

 

we shall be like Him."

 

The Holy Spirit will purify our minds, and divine power will refine our bodies,

 

then shall we see Him as He is. 

EVENING  February 13th THERE IS THEREFORE NOW NO CONDEMNATION TO THEM WHICH ARE IN CHRIST JESUS,  
There is therefore now no condemnattion to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.─Romans 8:1
─AHORA pues, ninguna condenación hay ─Romanos 8:1

 

COME, my soul, think on this.  Believing in Jesus, you are actually and effectually cleared from guilt; you are led out of your prison. You are no more in fetters as a bond-slave; you are delivered now from the bondage of the law; you are freed from sin, and can walk at large as a freeman, your Savior's blood has procured [purchased] your full discharge. You have a right now to approach your Father's throne. There are no flames of vengeance to scare you now; no fiery sword; justice cannot smite the innocent.

 

Your disabilities are taken away; you were once unable to see your Father's face: you can see it now. You could not speak with Him; but now you have access with boldness. Once there was a fear of hell upon you; but you have no fear of it now, for how can there be punishment for the guiltless?

 

He who believes is not condemned, and cannot be punished.

 

And more than all, the privileges you might have enjoyed if you had never sinned are yours now that you are justified.  All the blessings that you would have had if you had kept the law, and more, are yours because Christ has kept it for you. All the love and the acceptance which perfect obedience could have obtained of God belong to you, because Christ was perfectly obedient on your behalf, and has imputed all His merits to your account, that you might be exceedingly rich through Him, who for your sake became exceedingly poor. Oh, how great the debt of love and gratitude you owe to your Savior!

                       A debtor to mercy alone,

 Of covenant mercy I sing;

 Nor fear with Thy righteousness on,
  My person and offerings to bring:
The terrors of law and of God,

 With me can have nothing to do;
My Savior's obedience and blood

                            Hide all my transgressions from view.

… 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:         
 

We aim to be fully devoted followers of 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 Caused by the inferior  Critical Text are found in: 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 invented by Westcott and Hort’s Greek Text. There are  more disagreements than there are agreements 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 Greek Text as both the OLDEST and the BEST. [The Counterfeit proofs  offered by Critical Test adherents].

The definitive and historical video Bridge to Babylon (URL above) documents the 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 will not  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.

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 mistake 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 Providentially Preserved:
Psalm 12:6-7:   6 The words of the Lord are pure words:

The Authorized King James Version (AKJV)  also known as The King James Version, Edition of 1769 (KJV) The Authorized Version (AV) and The Geneva Bible are faithful Translations from the preeminent, [surpassing all others],  The Traditional Greek Text predates the naming of the  Textus Receptus [Received Text] TR, and is superior to all modern Critical Text translations rendered from Greek Sources thatbinclude: (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

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,9 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.

… 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.

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

 

To this end, Heavenly Father, we pray that You will bless all who visit this website and bring  many to confess the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord.  We ask this in Jesus’ name,  Amen.

  DailySpurgeon.com

 

This Website can 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 predestined to be 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 used 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 messenger of God to share the good news of Jesus Christ with every one, encouraging them to believe in Christ Jesus and 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 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.

A HEARTFELT  PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING FOR ARIKARA INDIAN BRAVES  
A video… by John-Michael’s son, Jon Edward Riley, [“White Owl”] To whom he Gives honor to whom honor is due.

(February 12, 1971- January16, 2021)

…from  a well beloved, Indigenous Brave, and in remembrance of him, my beloved son; comes his heartfelt prayer of thanksgiving to the Lord.
 

Concluding with…“ A Joyful Heart of Freedom” WAR CRY!     ( at video’s end)    June 15, 2020 

 

…This is a Video of tribute that  honors all Indigenous Braves  that gave Military Service and the families of Native-American Scouts from White Shield, North Dakota  who served in the armed services of The United States of America defending. …the land of the free and the home of the Brave.

 

The Video was recorded at…INDIAN SCOUT POST NO 1 Burial grounds, White Shield, North Dakota.

 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 of Jon’s Favorites:

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

 TEACHING SERMONS 
Christ Prepares His Church

The call of the disciples, their unique role, and the care and patience of Christ in their training. Then the preparation of the church for extreme and persistent opposition, the reasons why demons were cast out, the unpardonable sin, and the supreme mark of true conversion.

    God Keeps His Promises

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.

 

Good Friday Sermon 6:30 pm Friday April
Behold the Man   December 11th     John 19.5     Dr. Peter Masters

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
Jesus Christ Himself  (Text only)   Ephesians 2:20
Preached on March 15th  1883 by Charles Haddon  Spurgeon
Keeping Alive the Spirit   Ephesians 2:22    Dr. Peter Masters
Sunday Morning 11 April 2021 (March 17 Sermon) 
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     with  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.

 

SING: O, How I Love Jesus (medley)    By Gaither Vocal Band

 

A SINNER’S PRAYER  FOR WHOSOEVER:
 
Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21
Call on the name of the Lord Jesus and be saved     … pray like this, won’t you?   

“Lord Jesus, I’m a lost sinner and without You I am lost.  I can’t save myself. Without your death on the cross to pay my sin debt I would be condemned to spend eternity in Hell. My nature and behavior  has been sinful from birth.  Please forgive me.

I realize that doing my best, being as good as possible, or being better than other people can never save me. . I’m sorry for each and every sin I have ever done and look to You to forgive them all.
I look to You, alone  Lord Jesus to save me.
I call on You,  Lord Jesus, right now to save me.  You died on the cross for me, as God’s  sacrifice for my sin.

Right now, just as I am, I call on You, Lord Jesus to save me,  I trust You to be my Savior and Lord.
Thank You, Lord Jesus, that You have forgiven me of all my sins. I want  to follow You from now on.

You paid the price for all of my sins by dying on the cross.

Thank you,  Lord Jesus that You loved me and died for me before I was born and that You love me still

Thank you, Heavenly Father, that You called me away from sin and death into the Life everlasting  in Your only begotten son, the Lord Jesus.

Thank You, Heavenly Father that you raised Jesus from the dead. He is alive and in Him we are victorious over sin, death and the grave.

Thank You for saving me heavenly Father and Holy Spirit for Your comfort and guidance in all things.

With all my heart, thank you Lord Jesus for saving me. In your name, I pray, Amen.

• Seven reasons to read (or listen to) the Pilgrim’s Progress

 

URL:  https://openthebible.org/article/seven-good-reasons-to-read-pilgrims-progress/#:~:text=It's%20a%20classic

They will love the time you spend with them 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.

 

ORIGINAL: The Pilgrim’s Progress  Pub. by Logos in 1853  from the 1678 Original 

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

 

The Pilgrim Progress is the world’s most widely published and most famous Allegory, It was commonly found among he scant possessions in the cabins of the early American Pioneers. It was  loved and  read, second only to the Holy Bible, God’s Word, of guidance, encouragement and comfort. It’s also considered, by some, to be the world’s first English novel and is the most published book of all time. other than the Bible.

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. His inspired work, The Pilgrim’s Progress, known as the world’s most  published allegory,  does not subscribe to any world view at all  but proclaims God’s view on everything revealed and forever settled in Heaven Psalm 119:89 in The Holy Bible. 

 

John Bunyan merely, yet ardently believed God’s Word;  That it is God-breathed [inspired by God], Self-authenticating, Providentially-protected and propagated  immutable [unchanged and unchangeable] , inerrant [without error] , infallible [incapable of being mistaken or of being wrong], indestructible  and eternal written Word from GOD Himself for ever settled in Heaven.
