DAILY SPURGEON  February 2nd     *A.D. 2024    


The Lord Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh, 1 John 4:2-4
Behold, a virgin shall be with child… Matthew 1:23   He was born in Bethlehem  20 _ _ years ago.  
 

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  

 

Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth:
for I am God and there is none else.   Isaiah 45:22      

 

*A.D.  v. C.E.    What’s the difference?
Learn the difference;  defend the Truth,   Won’t you?

A.D. does NOT mean “After Death”.  It is a Latin abbreviation for Anno Domini,  a  phrase adopted for use in English meaning  “Year of the Lord”.  The original and complete phrase "anno Domini nostri Jesu Christi" means "in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ”.    A.D. or B.C. [abbreviation for Before Christ]   divide all history with a time description  of either before or after the birth of Jesus Christ.   ...More

MISSION STATEMENT   &   A  SINNER’S PRAYER:


DailySpurgeon  is a Website that we trust will be blessed of God to reach the lost and encourage, inspire and support believers to worship the one true God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Audio and Print media is posted each day for this purpose. The Audio segment is a Sermon from Spurgeon’s Metropolitan Tabernacle (London, U.K.) and a Praise selection of sacred  music from the Psalms, hymns and spiritual songs.

  • Morning & Evening

Our mission is to, “Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”   Ecclesiastes 12:13.  He  desires us to worship Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength in Spirit and in truth.
 

To this end, Heavenly Father, we pray You will bless the instrumentality of DailySpurgeon.com  to provide  each visitor with encouragement and opportunity to worship You in spirit and in truth.   We ask also that You would bring many to saving faith in Christ Jesus and give them, and us all, a sustained and growing desire to follow the Lord Jesus as his disciples. We trust You Lord to  keep us faithful as You conform us to the image of Your only begotten son, Jesus Christ. I ask this in His name and for His sake, Amen. 

.

28 … we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified. Romans 8:28-30  

 

All glory to You, Father for Jesus sake. Help us in 25… not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Hebrews 10:25]

 

 Rather,  help us assemble ourselves together more and more to worship, admonish and encourage one another to follow the Word as we see the day of the Lord’s return getting closer. Help us to sing Psalms, sacred hymns and spiritual songs and share good fellowship as we gather with the brethren in Christ Jesus,  Amen.    

 

 This Website will not, nor is it intended (were it possible),  to take the place of congregational gathering in Christian fellowship, gospel preaching, and worship.  Its purpose, rather,  is to encourage personal prayer, hearing the Word in Gospel preaching, Bible study, meditation, singing praises and consecration to the Lord Jesus in  renewed, active, personal discipleship.
 

“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

 

Our aim is to follow the Lord Jesus Christ. He says,  “I am the way, the truth and the life, no man [person] cometh [comes] unto the Father but by me”  John 14:6

 

Jesus was lifted up from the earth, hung on the cross, giving up his life to save sinners, John 12:32  Therefore,  we pray that many should be saved, through faith in Jesus Christ and be eternally born-again. blood-bought children of God. This invitation is therefore for all non-believers that they would turn away from sin, and look to the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved.  We pray also that all believers will be built up and conformed to the image of Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit.  Romans 8:28-30

PRAYER 7.  Part 1 of 7  LET ALL T HE PEOPLE PRAISE THEE.
Part 1 of  7
 

OUR Father, when we read Thy description of human nature we are sure it is true, for Thou has [have] seen man ever since his fall [in Adam’s original sin], and Thou hast [have] been grieved at heart concerning him. 

 

Moreover, Thou hast [have] such a love towards him that Thou didst not [You did not] judge him harshly; and every word that Thou hast [have] spoken must be according to truth. Thou hast [have] measured and computed the iniquity of man, for Thou hast laid it on the Well-Beloved [the Lord Jesus]; and we know Thou hast [have] not laid upon Him more than is meet [needed].

 

[Thank you In the name of the Lord Jesus,  Amen.]

ANECDOTE  184:   Faith and Healing.

If you believe his word you shall know the sweets of grace. To ask for more evidence first is as though a man should say,
 

“Here is a medicine prepared by a physician of great repute, and it is said to be very powerful for driving out the disease from which I suffer: I will take it as soon as I see that I am improving by its means.”

 

The man has lost his reason, has he not? He cannot expect even a partial cure till be has taken the medicine. He cannot expect the result to come before the cause. You must take the good Physician’s medicine as a matter of faith, and afterwards your faith will be increased by the beneficial result.

 

You must believe on the Lord Jesus, because of the witness of God concerning him, for that is all the witness you ought to wish for, and all that God will give you. After you have believed, other witnesses will spring up in your soul, as the results of faith, and so your confidence will be strengthened; but just now, beloved,

 

believe in Jesus Christ, and having believed in him you shall know that you are forgiven for his name’s sake.

 

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK February 2  GROW UP by C.H. Spurgeon 1834—1892


-And ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall-  Malachi 4:2
-Y saldreis, y saltareis como becerros de la manada.-  Malaquias 4:2

 

Yes, when the sun shines, the sick quit their chambers [go out of their rooms], and walk abroad [outside] to breathe the fresh air. When the sun brings spring and summer, the cattle quit [leave] their stalls, and seek pasture on the higher Alps. Even thus, [so] when we have conscious fellowship with our Lord, we leave the stall of despondency, and walk abroad in the fields of holy confidence. We ascend to the mountains of joy, and feed on sweet pasturage which grows nearer Heaven than the provender [food] of carnal men.

To-go-forth   and to grow-up  is a double promise. O my soul, be thou eager [willing and ready] to enjoy both blessings! Why shouldst thou [should you] be a prisoner? Arise, and walk at liberty [freely]. Jesus saith [says] that His sheep shall go in and out and find pasture; go forth, then, and feed in the rich meadows of boundless love. Why remain a babe in grace? 

 

Grow up.


Young calves grow fast, especially if they are stall-fed; and thou hast [you have] the choice care of thy Redeemer. Grow then, in grace, and in the knowledge of thy Lord and Savior. Be neither straitened [limited] nor stunted [a runt]. The Sun of Righteousness has risen upon thee [you]. Answer to His [sun] beams, like the [growing] buds [respond] to the natural sun. Open thine [your] heart, expand and grow up into Him in all things.

 

Prayer: Thank you Father that Your chosen, redeemed children will go forward and grow up, Amen.

 

MORNING   February 2

"Without shedding of blood [there]  is no remission. "— Hebrews 9:22
—Sin derramamiento de sangre no se hace remissión — Hebreos 9:22
 

THIS is the voice of unalterable truth. In none of the Jewish ceremonies were sins, even typically removed without blood-shedding.

In no case, by no means, can sin be pardoned without atonement.  It is clear, then, that there is no hope for me without Christ; for there is no other blood-shedding that is worth a thought as an atonement for sin.

 

Am I, then, believing in Him? Is the blood of His atonement truly applied to my soul? All men are on the same level as to their need of Him. No matter how moral, generous, amiable, or pa­triotic we are, the rule will not be altered to make an exception for us.

 

Sin will yield to nothing less potent than the blood of Him whom God has set forth as a propitiation [full-satisfaction for redemption]. What a blessing that there is the one way of pardon! Why should we seek another?

 

Persons of merely formal religion cannot understand how we can rejoice that all our sins are forgiven us for Christ's sake.

 

Their works and prayers and ceremonies give them very poor comfort; and well may they be un­easy, for they are neglecting the one great salvation and endeavoring to get remission without blood.

 

My soul, sit down and behold the justice of God

 

As bound [required] to punish sin;

[to] see all that punishment executed upon the Lord Jesus,

and [to] fall down in humble joy, and kiss the dear feet of Him whose blood has made atonement for you.

 

It is in vain [useless] when conscience is aroused to fly [run] to [find] feelings and evidences for comfort: this is a habit which we learned in the Egypt of our legal bondage.

 

The only re­storative [remedy] for a guilty conscience is a vision of Jesus suf­fering on the cross.


"The blood is the life thereof,"

 

says the Levitical law, and let us rest assured that it is the life of faith and joy and every other holy grace.

 

Oh! how sweet to view the flowing Of my Savior's precious blood; With divine assurance knowing

He has made my peace with God.

 

EVENING   February  2

"And these are ancient things."— 1 Chronicles 4:22

—Que son palabras antiguas— 1 Crónicas 4:22.

 

YET not so ancient as those precious things which are the delight of our souls. Let us for a moment recount them, telling them over [and over] as misers count their gold.

 

The sovereign choice of the Father, by which He elected us to eternal life, before the earth was, is a matter of vast antiquity, since no date can be con­ceived for it by the mind of man.

 

We were chosen from before the foundations of the world. Everlasting love went with the choice, for it was not only an act of divine will by which we were set apart, but the divine affections [love] were concerned.

 

The Father loved us in and from the beginning. Here is a theme for daily contemplation. The eternal purpose to redeem us from our foreseen ruin, to cleanse and sanctify us, and at last to glorify us, was of infinite antiquity, and runs side by side with immutable love and absolute sovereignty.

 

The covenant is always described as being everlasting, and Jesus, the second party in it, had His goings forth of old;  He struck hands [fig. shook hands] in sacred guarantee of] surety-ship long before the first of the stars began to shine, and it was in Him that the elect were ordained to eternal life. Thus in the divine purpose a most blessed covenant union was established between the Son of God and His elect people, which will remain as the foundation of their safety when time shall be no more.

 

Is it not well to be conversant with these ancient things? Is it not shameful that they should be so much neglected and even rejected by the bulk of professing Christians?

 

If they knew more of their own sin, would they not be more ready to adore distinguishing grace? Let us both admire and adore tonight, as we sing: 

A monument of grace,

              A sinner saved by blood;
     The streams of love I trace

              Up to the Fountain, God;
      And in His sacred bosom see
                      Eternal thoughts of love to me.

 

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 anything; especially, 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 to 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, fellowshipping with other believers.

 

We trust, with God’s guidance and empowerment,  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. 


        The purpose of The John Mark Publishing Company is to publish and share  the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every creature. And, to serve everyone, in love, especially those in the household of faith. We are compelled therefore, to follow, rightly divide and proclaim, God’s Holy Word, the Bible, God’s divinely preserved truth; the essential foundation 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 been a great benefit, to all readers for many years.  We trust they will help 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.

 

The Essence of the Gospel:
 

  • God is good  (HOLY) and not willing that any should perish.

  • Man is bad   (SINFUL) and hopelessly lost without God.

  • God made a way for sinners to be saved:

    16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, [The Lord Jesus Christ] that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.    John 3:16-17

Soul Winning is the chief purpose  of his ministry. As the beloved founding-pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle  he gave a life long legacy of gospel preaching and soul winning.

 

Live-streaming of worship services from the Metropolitan Tabernacle with Dr. Peter Masters, pastor since 1960 in London, U.K.  Join us, won’t you?  (Schedule and links above)

Worldly influence, pop music and uncertain riches must not be allowed to compromise Gospel Preaching and Worship and believers must join a congregation  where the preaching of sound Biblical doctrine and sacred music is found as we worship the one true God in spirit and in truth.
 

Our Prayer: Dear Lord, by all means save souls and  Empower us to serve and minister to the lost and those in need, especially those in the household of faith. Revive, encourage, strengthen, and edify us as we  follow you. Help us to  share You, your lovingkindness, and the Gospel of your salvation.  May we pray fervently with  fasting according to your will and may we be the church triumphant in soul winning, and in all things holy as we follow You. In Jesus Christ name, Amen.

We offer ourselves with gratitude for your sacrifice at calvary, given to provide eternal salvation for all who believe. Accept our thanks for these and all other blessing we humbly ask in Thy name, Amen.

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

Precaution: These Messages and prayers are not, nor can they be, a substitute for continual fellowship with the Lord Jesus. Nor do they replace personal reading and meditation, prayer and fasting over God's divinely preserved and eternal Word or the gathering together of local believers.

The Authorized King James Bible (AKJV), known also as the Authorized Version (AV), is the preferred English Bible because its accuracy and fidelity to the Greek Textus Receptus [received text] and the Hebrew Masoretic Text)  avoids doctrinal error, ungrounded nuances, editorial notes or unsupportable readings 4efrom other codices.  It is distinguished further by the requirement of Great Britain that all King James bibles be printed only by the Cambridge University Press, the Crown’s authorized printer. By order of the Crown, no other printing of a King James Bible may be imported into or copied in Great Britain.

Printed Prayer: The daily prayer in print does not substitute for personal, fervent, effectual, heart-felt, prayer. It is, rather, to warm the hearts of those who are seeking a season of fervent, authentic two-way, heart-to-heart  fellowship and prayer with the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Revelation from God during  prayer is consistent with His revealed Word, the Bible.   

Preaching Preparation:  If you would like to review a Spurgeon sermon parallel to biblical texts you may be preparing to teach or preach, please let us know the scripture reference and topic. We will research and send you a  selection with the same scripture reference or the  most closely related topic from Spurgeon’s work. It is our joy to make this available asking only that you give proper authorship credit. [Honor to whom honor is due…]  Thank you.

My Prayer: Dear Father,  please touch, lift up, encourage and teach all who read this.  Bless all ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. May Your blessing and holy anointing fall fresh and continually upon each one who rightly divides and proclaims Your Word. Please save many souls;  all glory to You. I pray this in the name of our only Redeemer, The Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.

… 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 taught by the Holy Spirit and will rightly divide God’s Holy Word preserved by God, Himself.

 

John 3:16  God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten [divinely fathered] Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but may be having eternal life.

 

vis. Textus Receptus [The Received Greek Text] (From the overwhelming majority of extant New Testament Greek manuscripts)

 

The Incomplete and unsealed codices of Sinaiticus and Vaticanus are not majority texts, [Original Masoretic Hebrew and the Greek Textus Receptus]. Sinaiticus and Vaticanus present variant, ambiguous and erroneous readings rather than that of  the well-established and settled  texts.  They disagree often with one another as well as with the settled majority texts. Thus, an attempt to create a pretext that will continue to justify a never-ending demand  for additional editions and interpretations.  These unsettled differences and bias in certain sectarian doctrine [dogma] have led to the production of multiple “modern” editions with ambiguities, many variant readings and confusion from the explosion of unending, new editions.

 

 Profit-driven publishers have embraced such an economic windfall to sell a continual flow of “new and better” English edition of The Bible. They give too little attention to the fidelity and accuracy already settled [in heaven] in the majority manuscripts of the Masoretic Hebrew and the Textus Receptus Greek.

 

ל  Lamed

89 For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.
90 Thy faithfulness is unto all generations:
thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.

 

 

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

 

   

 

A SINNER’S PRAYER   FOR WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL:


21Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21

37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast [throw] out.

John 6:37

 44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw [attract] him: and I will raise him up at the last day.  65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.  John 6:44, 65.  

  

 Call on Him,  and be saved,   … won’t you? 

Pray wholeheartedly:

 

        Lord Jesus, I’m a lost sinner. I’m sorry for all my sin.  Without You, there’s no hope for me .  I cannot save myself. Without your sacrifice on the cross, I would be lost and hell-bound. My sin nature produces sin.

I sin because I’m a sinner; it’s  my nature.  I’m  totally depraved.

I now know that me, doing my best, or being as good as I can, or being better than others or making excuses for myself  will never  save me.  I need You and You alone to save me.


I look to You, Lord Jesus to save me. You say in Your Word, “It shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”  I call on You, right now Lord Jesus to save me.

Thank You, Lord Jesus,  that You love me and died on the cross to save me.

 

I ask that You forgive me of my sins and save me. I’m sorry…  for each and every one. I turn away from all of them and with Your help I look only to You. Thank you,  Lord Jesus  for being the Sacrifice Lamb of GOD that paid the penalty to take away the sins of the world to all who will believe.

 

 Thank you, Heavenly Father, that You say,  “Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: for I am God and there is none else.”  I do look to You now, in faith, knowing You will save me. Thank you.   

 

And, thank You that You made me to understand that, “…the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

 

Thank You that you raised Jesus from the dead, victorious over sin, death and the grave and that in Him I am eternally saved.
 

And Holy Spirit,  I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ that You guide me into all truth; be my comfort by Your witness in me; and abide alongside me to conform me to the image of the Son, The Lord Jesus Christ. in whose name and for whose sake I pray, Amen.

 

 Let us celebrate your new birth with you and encourage you in your new life,   won’t you?

The Apostle Paul’s gratitude, contentment and blessing is expressed here, to the Philippians. Our desire is to hold to and practice  the same expression with regards to all contributions to us here.

Our desire is for “Fruit that may abound to your account.”
 

Paul writes:  "For even in  [the] Thessaloni'ca [jail] ye sent  once and again unto my necessity.  Not because I  desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.  Philippians 4:17. But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received the things which were sent from you, a sweet fragrance, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God. …[therefore] I know that my God shall supply all your  need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:17-19.


Now unto God and our Father  be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you. All the saints salute you,

Chiefly they that are of *Caesar’s household. ]. “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be  with you all. Amen” Philippians 4:20-23

* Not only were new converts won to Christ in Caesar's household, but after their conversion they  remained to serve in that household.
       They  did not abandon their post of duty because their surroundings were no longer congenial [comfortable]. [They were now out of their comfort zone.]  The truth had found them there, and there they would remain, and  by their changed life and character testify of the transforming power of their faith and new life in Jesus Christ.

SPECIAL SPURGEON SERMON: “Why Men Cannot Believe in Christ” [Christ Jesus]

Note: This Sermon was referenced in the Men’s Bible Study on Wednesday, August 14th 2024 at South Shores Church and is featured here as an unabridged Audio recording of Sermon
# 1245 preached originally by Charles Spurgeon in 1875 from his home church, The Metropolitan Tabernacle, London.

FEATURED  SERMON from Spurgeon’s Metropolitan Tabernacle  (London)

How [Jesus] Christ Builds Our Faith      John 14:1-14     with Dr. Peter Masters, Pastor

The day before Calvary, with the disciples, Christ gives a fourfold remedy for their deficiencies. They must grasp the necessity of faith, the heavenly objective, His pivotal atonement, and His equality with the Father. Only then can they fulfil their commission.

 

 

MISSION STATEMENT  &  A SINNER’S  PRAYER:

 
MISSION     
       Our aim is to fulfill God’s purpose in us to save souls, strengthen and encourage believers in the Word, proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ as we serve those in need. We believe the Bible is God’s revealed Word and that through His Word He guides us as individuals and as a local body of believers. We are resolved, God helping us, to study, meditate and pray to rightly divide God’s revealed and preserved Word holding it as the final authority in all things. 
The purpose of The John Mark Publishing Company is to make known the Gospel of The Lord Jesus Christ to everyone. We desire to show the love of Jesus  to those in need, especially those in the household of faith.

The Bible is God’s everlasting, inspired, (God breathed) inerrant, unchangeable, divinely protected and preserved  message of salvation to the whole world.  It is the essence of  the ministry  inspired here.
The  inspirational source of  preaching, teaching and writing  by Charles Haddon Spurgeon is from this same essence.  His writings continue to be  much read and much used today in the  support of Gospel preaching. Such ministry is still flourishing  in London at  the Metropolitan Tabernacle,  the church constructed for the 6,000 member congregation in the 1800's. Our effort here is to increase  the publication, circulation and use of Spurgeon's materials for the benefit of the church body as well as all other readers.  To this end we have arranged a daily Table of Contents and have added brief annotations [shown in brackets]  while maintaining a strict fidelity to the  original and unabridged text.  

 
Published Titles from Spurgeon’s written work are used exclusively as the resource from which
selections are made for inclusion into the Daily Spurgeon:
 

     C.H. Spurgeon Prayers
    Spurgeon’s  Illustrative Anecdotes

     Faith’s Checkbook

     Morning & Evening


These titles are from the inspired body of work created from the preaching and writing of Charles Haddon Spurgeon 1834-1892. No servant of God has given a greater legacy of gospel exposition to the world in the English language.  Spurgeon has been and is today widely read with great benefit from the 1800’s to this present time. He is the beloved founder of the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London, England (Still thriving TODAY through the faithful preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.)  [Click or Tap this link to stream gospel preaching in real time each Sunday from London brought by Dr. Peter Masters, Metropolitan Tabernacle pastor since 1970.


  Prayer: Dear Lord, please empower this, Your ministry to thrive in winning souls, and helping us to be loving and compassionate toward all who are in need, especially those in the household of faith, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.     

      Disclaimer: The John Mark Publishing Company is not intended to praise or exalt  Charles H. Spurgeon. He didn’t need or want it then and wouldn’t desire it now. Our intention is to lift up and glorify the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and to preach HIM and .

      Precaution: These Messages and prayers alone will not substitute for continual fellowship with the Lord Jesus. Neither do they replace personal reading, meditation, prayer and fasting over God's divinely preserved and eternal Word. (The King James version (KJV), known also as the Authorized Version (AV), is the preferred English Bible because its accuracy and fidelity to the Greek Textus Receptus [received text] and the Hebrew Masoretic Text) avoid doctrinal and editorial weaknesses found in many contemporary editions.

     Printed Prayer Selection: It must not be read or offered as a substitute for personal, fervent, effectual, heart-felt, prayer. It  is intended rather, to touch and warm the hearts of those who presently seek a season of fervent, authentic two-way, heart-to-heart  fellowship and prayer with the Father, His Son and the Holy Spirit.     

     Preaching  Preparation:  If you are studying or preparing to preach from a specific, scripture text, Please inform us so that we may  send you a Sermon from Mr. Spurgeon on the message, precept and application most closely aligned to your selected text.

     My Prayer: Dear Father,  Please touch, lift up, encourage and teach all who read this, right now .  Bless all who minister the Gospel of Jesus Christ. May Your blessings and holy anointing fall fresh
and continually upon each one who rightly divides and faithfully proclaims Your Word  [The Bible]. Please save many souls; and be glorified in everything You do In the name of our Redeemer, The Lord Jesus Christ, A men

    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.

 

Pray like this:  

“Lord Jesus, I’m a lost sinner hopeless without You.  I would never be able to save myself. Without your death on the cross to pay my sin debt I would be condemned to spend eternity condemned in Hell. By nature  and  practice I am a natural-born sinner. I’m  totally depraved and  I sin because I am a sinner. Please forgive me.

I realize that doing my best or being as good as possible, or being better than other people or having good          excuses can never save me.
 

     I look to You, alone  Lord Jesus to save me.
I call on You,  by name  right now Lord Jesus to save me.  You died on the cross in my place to pay  for my sin. Your Word says,  “It shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21. Thank You, Lord.

 

     Right now, I surrender my sinful self  to You,  just as I am, Lord Jesus and I trust You to forgive and save me and be my Lord and Master.
Please forgive me for all my sins. I’m sorry for every sin (bad thoughts, words and things I have done) and look to You to forgive me of them all.  I need your strength to overcome sin’s temptations. Thank you for forgiving me.
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 have made the way  of  redemption, forgiveness and  atonement for me  and have drawn me away from sin and death into Life  in Your only begotten son.  He took  my place and suffered my punishment.

 

     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. In Christ Jesus there is therefore now no condemnation.
 

     Thank You for saving me heavenly Father and for sending the Holy Spirit for my guidance, comfort  and solemn instruction into all truth,  Amen.”

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

 

     Please allow us to celebrate with the angels in heaven because of your new birth.   Please e-mail or   write to: The John Mark Publishing Company,  PO BOX 21 San Juan Capistrano, CA  92693, U.S.A.   dailyspurgeon@aol.com

         
Contributions:  Thank you for your prayers.
The Apostle Paul’s gratitude, contentment and blessing are expressed in his writing from the book of
Philippians  and describe our policy, attitude and practice regarding all contributions received by this
ministry.
 

     Our desire is for “fruit that may abound to your account. “
Look at Paul’s words.
 

     "For even in  [the] Thessaloni'ca [jail] ye sent once and again unto my necessity.  Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.  Philippians 4:17. But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received the things which were sent from you, a sweet fragrance, a  sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God. …[therefore] I know that my God shall supply all your     need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:17-19.Now unto God and our Father  be glory for ever and ever. Amen. Salute every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you. All the saints salute you, chiefly they that are of *Caesar’s household [in our local fellowship]. “The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen” Philippians 4:20-23
* Not only were new converts won to the truth in Caesar's household, but after their conversion they  remained in that household.
They did not feel at liberty to abandon their post of duty because their surroundings were no longer   congenial [comfortable]. [They were out of their comfort zone.] The truth had found them there, and there they remained, by their changed life and character testifying to the transforming power of their new found faith in Jesus Christ.

May fruit indeed abound to your account according to God’s Word and may God bless you richly, in Jesus name,   Amen.

A SINNER’S PRAYER:

      A person  (YOU) may come to Jesus by  believing and (whole heartedly) praying and confessing The Lord Jesus publicly like this:


“Lord Jesus, I’m a sinner. I’m lost and hopeless without You.  I will never be able to save myself by my own merits. 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" will never  save me.

      I look to You, alone  Lord Jesus to save me.

      I come to You   right now. Lord Jesus.   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 say and it’s written in the Bible that you won’t reject anyone who comes to You. I'm coming  to You now. Thank You for saving me.

      I  give myself (all of myself) to You, Lord Jesus. I declare that You are my Savior and Lord. I’m sorry for and I turn away from  every sin (every bad thought, every bad word I have spoken and every bad thing I have ever done) and look to You free me from the penalty of sin, to keep me free from the power of sin and empower me overcome any temptation from sin’s  presence. Thank you for forgiving all of my sins by dying on the cross to pay the punishment that I deserve. (I was a sinner by nature and by behavior). But now I'm washed clean by Your blood that was shed [poured out] for me at Calvary [at the cross].

      Thank you Lord Jesus that You loved me and died for me before I was born 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, Heavenly Father that you 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.

       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 sending the Comforter, The Spirit of Truth, for my guidance and solemn instruction into all truth.,  Amen.”

      Thank You,  Holy Spirit of  Truth, my Comforter, my Paraclete [my true best-friend who is by my side and always has myback]  for the new life in Jesus and the victory that comes because I have reconed myself dead indeed unto sin and alive unto God through Christ Jesus our Lord trusting You, Holy Spirit for Your  empowerment to see this promise fulfilled. Romans 6:11

      Thank you that you, Holy Spirit,  always exalt [lift up] the Lord Jesus.  John 16:8-11With all my heart, I thank you Lord Jesus for saving me.


I ask now that You live Your life through me in Your name, Lord Jesus  I pray, Amen.

 MISSION PURPOSE:         
       Our aim is to trust and obey the Lord Jesus Christ as fully devoted followers 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 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 from  (Spurgeon’s)  Metropolitan Tabernacle, (Brief History) a church fellowship that was begun in 1650. The building was constructed by members of the congregation in 1861.

 

        We present Spurgeon's printed  materials for the edification of the church body 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,  DailySpurgeon.com is offered to encourage and provide opportunity to hear Gospel preaching, and to engage in daily devotional meditation, Bible study and prayer. Careful adherence to Spurgeon’s calendar and  original, unabridged text is given herein.

            These publications were written by Charles Haddon Spurgeon 1834-1892.
No servant of God has left a greater legacy of presenting the Gospel to the world in the English language. (Now translated into many other languages)  Spurgeon is widely read with great benefit. He is a beloved pastor and founder of the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London, England, still thriving TODAY.  You’re invited to Live-stream worship services from London with Dr. Peter Masters, current  pastor since 1960.
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 HIM only and him crucified.

Precaution: These Messages and prayers will not substitute for continual fellowship with the Lord Jesus nor gathering for corporate worship. Neither do they replace personal reading, meditation, prayer and fasting over God's divinely preserved and eternal Word. 

The Authorized King James version (AKJV), also known as the Authorized Version (AV), is the preferred English Bible because it is rendered [translated into English] accurately and faithfully from the Greek Textus Receptus [received text] and the Hebrew Masoretic Text  that bring the greatest glory to God and thereby avoids doctrinal error, inaccuracies in translation, editorial changes or ambiguous readings found in other translations. It is distinguished further by the requirement in 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 from a specific, scriptural text, please enter the text reference if you would like us to send you a Spurgeon Sermon from the same text.

My Prayer: Dear Father,  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.

 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 hopeless.  I can’t save myself. Without your death on the cross to pay my sin debt I would be condemned to spend eternity condemned in Hell. My nature has been  self centeredness 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 done and look to You to forgive me of 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, and because of my sin.

Yet You say,  “It shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21.

 

Right now, just as I am, I call on You, Lord Jesus to save me,  I trust that You, will be my Lord and Savior from now on.


Thank You, Lord Jesus, that You have forgiven me of all my sins.  I ask You to keep in me always the desire to follow You.


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

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

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. And, there is therefore now no condemnation in Christ Jesus.
 

Thank You for saving me heavenly Father and Holy Spirit for comfort and guidance revealing  all truth,

 

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

 


Please allow us to share the joy of your new birth with heaven. Heaven rejoices over each redeemed sinner. Luke 15:7

Create in Me a Clean Heart    Sing with the Maranatha Singers, won’t you?

 

Today’s PRAISE music selections came to mind from today’s Anecdote, Faith’s Checkbook, and todays date for the birth of a Godly Nation built on God’s Word, The Holy Bible.

 

OUTWARD practical holiness is a very precious mark of grace. I fear that many have perverted the doctrine of justification by faith [in Jesus Christ] in such a way as to treat good works with contempt; if so, they will receive everlasting contempt at the last great day. 

If our hands are not clean, let us wash them in Jesus' precious blood, and so let us lift up pure hands to God.

 

But "clean hands" will not suffice, unless they are connected with "a pure heart."

 

True religion [faith] is heart-work. We may wash the outside of the cup and the platter as long as we please, but if the inward parts be filthy, we are filthy altogether in the sight of God, for our hearts are more truly ourselves than our hands are; the very life of our being lies in the inner nature, and hence the imperative need of purity within.

 

The pure in heart shall see God, all others are but blind bats.

 

The man who is born for heaven "hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity." All men have their joys by which their souls are lifted up;

the worldling [“carnal man”] lifts up his soul in carnal delights which are mere empty vanities; but

the saint loves more substantial things.

 

Like Jehoshaphat, he is lifted up in the ways of the Lord.

 

He who is content with husks [pig slop] will be reckoned [counted] with the swine.

 

Does the world satisfy you? Then you have your reward and portion in this life; make the most of it, for you will know no other joy.

"Nor sworn deceitfully. " The saints are men of honor still. The Christian man's word is his only oath; but that is as good as twenty oaths of other men.

 

False speaking will shut any man out of heaven, for a liar will not enter into God's house, whatever may be his professions or doings.

 

Reader, are we  condemned by false speaking or do we hope to ascend to the hill of the Lord [ZION] ?

Sing: We’re Marching to Zion

DEFENDING  THE  KING JAMES BIBLE   

 by the Millennium Bible Institute 


URL: https://youtu.be/RL1px3GRfo4 


This video presents the truth  for those who seek to learn about and use the providentially protected, preserved and immutable Holy Bible that is both inerrant [without error] and infallible and gives God alone, the utmost praise, and the greatest glory due to HIMSELF. Praise and worship are rightfully insisted upon and commanded in God’s  inspired [God-Breathed (Spoken) Word from God himself. 
INSPIRED [God Breathed] HOLY WORDS  were given and are protected by by God through the Holy Ghost, word by word, to His  Holy Prophets and Apostles comprise all eternal Holy Scripture. (Matthew 5:18)

__________________________________

 

HOW HAS  THE MAJORITY TEXT MT  AND  THE TEXTUS RECEPTUS BEEN PROVIDENTIALLY PROTECTED AND PRESERVED? 

 

The inspired, god breathed, immortal words, were  uttered, word-by-word, to the  holy prophets and apostles who were chosen of God and moved by the holy ghost. These words are protected and preserved in holy scripture and are written word-by-word and are immutable, [unchanged and unchangeable] without error, and infallible [incapable of mistake or heresy]. and for ever [sic] settled in heaven by God himself in the self-authenticating word of god, itself. 

 

The Authorized (King James) Holy Bible.

 

ל  Lamed

89 For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.

 Psalm 119:89


Authorized (King James) Version:

21For the prophecy [prophecies] came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.  
2 Peter 1:21

 

Authorized (King James) Version:

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

The Inside  Story of Westcott and Hort: 

 Brooke Foss Westcott and Fenton John Anthony Hort  (Text only)


URL:   https://www.febc.edu.sg/article/def_the_inside_story_of_westcott_and_hort

 

In 1870, The Anglican Church of England passed a resolution to revise the English Bible. The New Testament revision committee which finally consisted of 25 scholars (though only about 16 eventually attended the meetings) which included Westcott and Hort. The committee worked for ten years in the Jerusalem chamber, and these two scholars swept the Revision Committee along with them after work commenced. In fact, the “Cambridge trio” (Westcott, Hort and Lightfoot) colluded with others to dominate the meetings with their views of the text and to defeat any who opposed them. Their *letters reveal this conspiracy:

* Letters from close relatives are quoted in the Inside Story above

The only voice defending the Textus Receptus was Dr Scrivener, probably the foremost scholar of the day in the manuscripts of the Greek New Testament and the history of the Text. But he was systematically outvoted by the Cambridge trio and outdone by Hort’s powerful debating skill. When the revision was completed, the revision committee had altered the Greek Text in 5,337 places,

thus violating the original rule that had been set for the committee of not altering the Greek Text unless absolutely necessary to do so.
____________________________________

 

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, let it be said that no matter how good any modern version of the New Testament is in other ways, it is clearly blemished if the work of Westcott and Hort or Nestle & Aland.is present in it. The presence of their work means that it is based on  defective text. Those who honor the Word of God must not promote any of these versions by the church, not because the content of the version is entirely  evil in itself, but because being contented to use a weakened version rather than the existing, preserved, inerrant unblemished one, dishonors God. If God has preserved for His people a good Greek text of the New Testament for 18 centuries, how dishonoring it must  be to Him if His people now chose versions based on  the defective  Greek manuscript  invented  by either Westcott & Hort or Nestle & Aland.

SACRED LITER[jM1] ATURE:

ORIGINAL: The Pilgrim’s Progress  Pub. by Logos,1853 from 1678 Original by John Bunyan

         

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

 

in Pilgrim’s Progress. (The World’s most widely circulated Allegory by John Bunyan, also credited, by some, as being the world’s first English novel. 

IT’S FREE. No subscription required. You may choose to read at your own pace, or you may want to view DailySpugeon.com for daily encounters with Pilgrim.)

 

"Christ in us is Christ reigning." reminds me [Spurgeon's comment] 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 [melody] , for the king himself was come. Up to the castle of the heart 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; it is our liberty to be absolutely under his sway.

 

ADULT AUDIO Episodes and CHILDREN’S VIDEO Story Parts:

You may choose to read or listen to Pilgrim’s Progress as a bed time story.

It will bless, encourage and instruct pilgrims (readers and seekers) of all ages for a life-time.
