The Lord … is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Pray also that believers will be taught by the Holy Spirit and will rightly divide God’s Holy Word preserved by God, Himself.

God has preserved His Word through The Masoretic Hebrew and Aramaic languages of the Old Testament and the Greek Textus Receptus of the New Testament:
In contrast, the Incomplete and unsealed codices of Sinaiticus and Vaticanus are not translated from the 5,321 Majority Text Greek manuscripts, as is the Textus Receptus [Original Masoretic Hebrew and the Greek Textus Receptus].
The Sinaiticus and Vaticanus manuscripts present variant readings rather than that of the well-established and settled majority 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 majority manuscripts of the Masoretic Hebrew and the Greek Textus Receptus. Only 55 of the 5,321 majority text manuscripts were hand picked by Westcott and Hort to create their new Greek text source . This so called source was in actual fact their invented Greek Text to circumvent the use of the much better and more prrecise Textus Receptus.
Psalm 119:89-90
89 Forever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.
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.

Disclaimer: The John Mark Publishing Company honors the memory of Charles H. Spurgeon his writing and preaching. Honor to whom honor is due. He didn’t want praise then and doesn’t need it now. Our aim is to lift up and glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and to preach Christ Jesus only and him crucified.
Caution: You may find he content presented in this website beneficial, but it cannot substitute for gathering together, in-person, with other believers to hear the preaching of God’s Word and to worship and sing praises to the Lord Jesus Christ [the Messiah].
The Authorized King James Version (AKJV), also known as the Authorized Version (AV), is the authentic. inerrant, and infallible English Bible because it is rendered [translated into English] accurately and faithfully from the extant 5,321 majority Greek manuscripts text from which the Greek Textus Receptus, [received text] manuscripts of the New Testament is taken.
The Hebrew Masoretic Text faithfully copied by Masoretic scribes was the original Old Testament. (The Jewish Tanakh) and is the Hebrew source from which translations into other languages were made. These manuscripts are providentially protected of God and always give the greatest glory to God when compared to other translations. Editorial notations, variant and sometimes ambiguous readings taken from Codices Vaticanus, or Sinaiticus consistently allow nuanced meanings to diminish God’s Omnipotence, Omniscience, Omnipresence or other divine attributes from being fully voiced.
The Authorized King James version is unique also in that the requirement of Great Brittan that all King James bibles be printed only by the Cambridge University Press, The Crown’s Authorized Printer.

'Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

The Authorized King James Bible
URL: https://www.biblegateway.com/versions/King-James-Version-KJV-Bible/
The above link is to search for specific words or Scriptures in the King James inerrant and infallible English Version (KJV) because it is providentially protected and preserved by GOD Himself through the only translation into English by faithful brethren from the 5,312 established majority text manuscripts MT from which the New Testament Greek Textus Receptus [received text] was taken and the Hebrew Masoretic Text of the Old Testament (Jewish Tanakh). These manuscripts are providentially protected, and give greater glory to God when compared to the variant readings of all post KJV translations. Modern Critical Texts are based on only 55 hand picked Greek manuscripts fabricated from either Westcott and Hort or Nestle and Aland. Both of these Greek textual sources make the assumption that OLDER IS BETTER. Of course, this assumption is not valid in any place the older manuscripts err from the Textus Receptus..
The established majority manuscripts and the Textus Receptus avoid doctrinal error, and inaccuracies in translation, uninspired editorial notations, variant or ambiguous readings which taken from Codices Vaticanus, or Sinaiticus.
Copyright: The King James Version is also distinguished by the requirement of Great Brittan that all King James bibles be printed by the Cambridge University Press, the Crown’s authorized printer. No one other than the Crown’s printer, is allowed print, copy or import the King James Bible into Great Brittan by order of the Crown.
In the United States there is no Copyright protection to restrict the free printing of the KJV. It is the only Bible version that may be printed freely as Public Domain. Any new publication that changes 10% or more of any existing publication may procure a lucrative Copyright protection to restrict unauthorized printing of the new publication. Therefore, the NKJV, NIV and many other modern translations. Only the King James Version New Testament is unique from among the over 100 English translations that follow modern textual criticism and only the King James is faithfully translated from the well-established Greek Textus Receptus as the Primary time tested and self-authenticating Greek Source.

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.

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

These words are protected and preserved in holy scripture and are written word-by-word and are immutable, [unchangeable] without error, and infallible [incapable of making a mistake or being wrong]. and for ever [sic] settled in heaven by God himself in the self authenticating word of god, itself.

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 that are based on the defective and inferior Greek manuscript invented by Westcott & Hort or Nestle & Aland.

Which Greek Text? Traditional or Critical? By David Sorenson
This video link presents evidence for the Inerrant, Infallible and Inspired [GOD Breathed] Greek Text. Length: (33:56 minutes)

Stephen, The first Martyr Recorded in Scripture:
And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.
And they stoned Stephen, [as he was] calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.
And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, and made great lamentation [grieved] over him.
Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen travelled as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto the Jews only.
and when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I , [The Apostle Paul] also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment [clothes] of them that slew him.
Acts 7:60
Authorized (King James) Version
60 And he [Stephen] kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge [forgive them for they know what they do] And when he had said this, he fell asleep [died and went to Heaven forever.]

The inspired preaching, teaching and writings of Charles Haddon Spurgeon are bedrock solid and saturated with God’s revealed Word, the Bible. His written publications continue to benefit readers with inspired Gospel preaching and sound biblical teaching from one whose life was poured out like a drink offering to The Lord Jesus Christ, to whom Charlie was a fully devoted follower. His love of Jesus Christ manifested itself in his unequalled love for and his never-ceasing soul winning efforts toward unsaved multitudes. From one who became known as The Prince of Preachers he remained humble always pointing to Christ, and Him crucified.
This ministry continues to flourishes in London’s Metropolitan Tabernacle. (Brief History) a church begun in 1650 with The building constructed by members of the congregation in 1861. It continues to thrive today.

Versions and editions of all Bibles NOT translated from the Textus Receptus [The Traditional Text] bring variant readings that diminish the glory or effect a diminution to the most Holy reverence that’s due to Almighty GOD. He has preserved and continues to preserve and protect HIS WORD the immutable [incapability of mutation or any change] of the 1769 Edition of the 1611 King James Version Bible [KJV]. This version is also known as the Authorized Version [AV]. ALL GLORY, LOVE, Honor and Respect is due and must be given to the Omnipotent [Almighty] and Omniscient [All-knowing] LORD of ALL.
The Geneva Bible was also translated from the Greek Textus Receptus [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 [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]

Bridge to Babylon The 1881 Textual Criticism Controversy

(169 mins.)
The definitive and historical video Bridge to Babylon (URL above) presents evidence as to the explosion of over 100 new Critical Text versions or editions of English translations of the Bible.
The 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, immutable [incapability of any change] and infallible [incapable of error] Holy Word from any and all heresy, blasphemy, confusion , error, additions to, or subtractions from the WORD of GOD. The traditional text founded from the Greek Textus Receptus accounts for more editions and sales than any other Greek text or edition of the Holy Bible worldwide.

BCE/CE vs. BC/AD Is there a difference?
defend the Truth. Won’t you?
*A.D. does NOT mean “After Death” as many mistakenly believe. It is Latin for Anno Domini, a phrase adopted into English usage that means “Year of [the] Lord”. The complete original phrase "anno Domini nostri Jesu Christi" means "in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ”. A.D. together with B.C. Before Christ divides all history into before and after the birth of Jesus the Christ [Messiah].

Can the Website DAILYSPURGEON be trusted? Is it trustworthy?
Is it of God?
YES, it can! Yes, it is! Here’s why.
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 audibly confess, that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh.
[All translations of the Bible that use Greek translations other than the traditional and faithful Textus Receptus do not contain the Greek word “ictin”. This word means “is” in English] and its exclusion causes the meaning of its English equivalent, “is here” to change from “is” come” [“is” here] to “has” come.
This error is self-evident because non-believers, false prophets, atheists and even heretics can, and frequently do, affirm that Jesus Christ “has come” [in the flesh].
While this is a true statement, taken at face value, the meaning of “has come” is clearly not the same as “is here”. When “has” come is the meaning the test God has given in His Word to discern whether words being analyzed are from the Spirit of God or the spirit of antichrist is negated.
One of the most well documented facts in all human history is that Jesus The Christ [The Anointed Messiah] “has” come in the flesh. However, the essential question is not whether the spirit [a spoken or written word] confesses that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh but, whether this confession affirms that Jesus Christ, “is come” [is here], in the flesh.
Please Compare and consider [Meditate upon] this scripture with other related scriptures. Precept upon precept, Line upon line…
Isaiah 28:10-14

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
THE HOLY WORD of GOD is :
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.]
Providentially Protected and Divinely Preserved
Psalm 12:6-7: 6 The words of the Lord are pure words:
as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt keep them [Thy Words] , O Lord, thou shalt preserve them [Thy Words] from this generation for ever. (AKJV).
Isaiah 40:8: 8 The grass withereth, [withers] the flower fadeth [fades] :but the word of our God shall stand for ever. (AKJV).
Matthew 5:18: 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (AKJV).
Matthew 24:35: 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. (AKJV).
1 Peter 1:23: 23 being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. (AKJV).
1 Peter 1:25: 25 but the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. (AKJV).
Psalm 119:89: 89 For ever,[sic] O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven, Psalm 119:89). (AKJV).
The Authorized King James Version (AKJV) also known as The Authorized Version (AV) and The Geneva Bible are the only two faithful English Translations from the preeminent, [surpassing all others], traditional Greek translation of the Textus Receptus [Received Text] that self-authenticates. It’s superior to all translations that use Critical Text translations from other Greek Sources (Westcott and Hort, Nestle and Aland, and Codices Vaticanus, Sinaiticus and Alexandrus).
John 1:1: 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

Which Bible Is The Best? (57 minutes) David Hocking
(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.
- David Hocking
John 1:1-3 1In the beginning was he Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in he beginning with God. 3 all things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.
(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
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.
30: for we are members of his [Jesus Christs’] body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and His bride the church.
[We are members of His body, flesh and bones, one flesh with Him, as His bride the church].
He was born of a virgin 2026 years ago, and HE lives today,
and He is soon returning for His bride; The Church.
"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit,
believed on in the world, received up into glory. "1 Timothy 3:16

It should be the desire of every born-again believer to worship God with all their heart, soul, mind and strength, in Spirit and in truth.
“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.
This Website does not replace nor can it be a substitute for the in-person, personal assembling of ourselves together. Hebrews 10:23-27
Rather, the Website’s purpose is to save lost sinners and to teach and encourage believers through God’s Word and prayer to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ [The Anointed Messiah] in personal discipleship an00d worship of the Lord Jesus as we are being conformed to His very image.
“For whom God did foreknow he did also predestinate to be conformed to the image of his son…” Romans 8:29
We are, instructed in the Word of GOD to assemble, praise and worship God. Thus, we must assemble and worship the Lord Jesus Christ and exhort [encourage] and provoke one another to do good works.
Such worship may take place through, congregational singing of sacred hymns and spiritual songs, reading, preaching and obeying God’s Word, sharing Christian love and fellowship, agreeing together with specific public prayer requests, and reading and exhorting one another in the Word, to provoke one another to love and serve and bear witness with one another in the Holy Ghost.
Admonition: Online streaming does not 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,
We give thanks to the Lord, for the Website DailySpurgeon.com and pray that it will continue to be an instrumentality to build up fully devoted followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. These followers will be taught to be disciples themselves and will then teach others to be disciples. (Fully devoted followers of The Lord Jesus, The Christ [The Anointed Messiah]. )
We pray that you will also be a radiant inspired instrumentality of God to share the good news of Jesus Christ with every one, encouraging them to become the very image of Jesus Christ.
This ministry was begun as daily e-mails of Faith’s Checkbook by Charles H. Spurgeon were sent to 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.

(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 Songs Jon Loved to Sing:
I Love You Lord by the Gaither choir
I Love You Lord Universal Music Group
I LOVE You Lord by Jared Reynolds
Where No One Stands Alone Gaither Vocal Band
Lead Me & Rock-a My Soul by Elvis and friends
He Knows Just What I Need by Elvis
How Great Thou Art with Elvis
Lead Me & Rock-a My Soul Elvis and friends
Lead Me, Guide Me by Elvis
It Is No Secret by Elvis written by Stuart Hamblen
The following recordings were discovered several months after Jon was called home on January 16th 2021. It’s such a blessing, to hear Elvis sing the Gospel message in song but it can’t compare with the Glory of being in the presence of the LORD for all eternity.
LIFE by Elvis
*I Can Only Imagine being present with the LORD, or hearing the completed song the Lord completed with Jon when he arrived; a song known only to the Lord, to Jon and the few who heard Jon sing it here. Lyrics remembered from him singing: "See my Jesus, Walkin' on duh Waduh"… an original, inspired song from our beloved Jon, himself a true and renown original.
* Click and sing:
I CAN ONLY IMAGINE with Wynonna Judd.
LOVE WITHOUT END, AMEN (A Father’s Love) by George Strait honoring George H.W. Bush (41st President) A favorite song of the President.
It’s also my sincere message of love to all my children, grand-children and great grand-children and all loved ones.
…Jon would always say “Later”; [as in, see-ya later] instead of “good bye”. It was the only farewell greeting he would ever use when parting company with a friend; and, everyone was Jon’s friend.
… He would never say “good-bye”.
Now, as we remember the sound of him saying “Later”, it rings true in a new and deeper meaning and it brings a joy and comfort to the hearts of those whom he loved so well; those who love him still and will forever more.
… and how much sweeter to us now, are the promises in these two Hymns:
’TILL WE MEET AGAIN. (sing along, won’t you?)

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.

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.
Dr Peter Masters | 11:00am | December 2022
Dr Peter Masters 6:30 pm | December 2022
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

Closeness to Christ 2 Timothy 2:10-12 Dr. Peter Masters
In this hostile world, believers cannot live successfully and fruitfully without Christ being with their spirits. Here is why the soul is also called the spirit, and what it means for Christ to be with our spirit. Examples and counsels for securing His nearness.

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

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

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.

A SINNER’S PRAYER February 2nd
PRAYER 7. Part 1 of 7 February 2nd LET ALL T HE PEOPLE PRAISE THEE.
OUR Father, when we read Thy description of human nature we are sure it is true, for Thou hast [You have] seen man ever since his fall [in Adam’s original sin], and Thou hast [You 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.]
(Attachment: PRAYER 7.doc)
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
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.
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?
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.
MORNING February 2nd
"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.
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 2nd
"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.

A SINNER’S PRAYER: February 2nd 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.

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.

…Jon always said “Later”; [see-ya-later] instead of “good bye”. It was his standard greeting to bid farewell … He would never say “good-bye”. Now, as we remember the sound of him saying “Later”, it rings very true as to its new and deeper meaning and it brings a joyfulness and comfort to the hearts of those he loved so well; those who love him still and will forever more.
… we are reminded of the promise of the Hymn:
’Till We Meet Again. Amen.

Life’s Greatest Mental Block John 7:6 with Dr. Peter Masters
The scribes of Christ's day were accomplished men, but a strange fog clouded their reaction to Him. Though amazed at Him and His teaching, they refused to listen. Here is why, and how the same mental block shuts off many from God today.

Jesus Christ [Messiah- Anointed King] has always existed, from eternity past [FOREVER] as the WORD of God. John 1:1-2
And He was born of a virgin 2,024 years ago in Bethlehem, the WORD made flesh,
is alive today, and is coming soon for His *bride, the Church
[*All redeemed believers].
"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit,
believed on in the world, received up into glory."
You’re invited to receive the Lord Jesus Christ [The Messiah] as your Savior and Lord and to publicly confess your trust in Him so He will then be able to acknowledge you before His Father, The God of Abraham. Isaac and Jacob. Jesus answered him and said, “Suffer it to be so [to let this happen]: for thus it becometh [is in accord with] us to fulfil all righteousness.”
Baptism is not required for salvation. Remember, Jesus said to the thief on the cross, who acknowledged Jesus’ innocence and said to him.
“Remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
And Jesus said to him,
“Verily [Truly] I say to you, Today you shall be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43
The act of Baptism pictures the Lord’s death, burial and resurrection and the believer’s death to self, burial, and resurrection to walk in newness of life.
It bears witness to the preaching of John the Baptist who preached that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand and exhorted Repentance from sin and the Baptism of atonement. Therefore, the act of baptism is not required for salvation but as John preached it is is to be followed to fulfil all righteousness

Thank You LORD for dailyspurgeon.com a website that proclaims Jesus, the Christ [Messiah and Anointed King] to all the world .
This website ministry grew from a beginning of sending e-mails from Charles Spurgeon’s Faith’s Checkbook a book of daily promises from Scripture to John Michael’s son, Jon Edward Riley (1971- 2021). When Jon shared them with others, they asked to be added to this mailing list. This mailing list grew to over 400 and continues to be used in the distribution of the website content Our prayer is that it will continue to encourage followers of Jesus Christ in vigorous personal devotions of Love, obedience and oneness with Jesus Christ through the study of and obedience to GOD’S WORD empowered by the Holy Ghost.
Devotional contents by Charles Spurgeon are brought together daily at dailyspurgeon.com
These devotional contents were written and calendared by Charles Spurgeon over 200 years ago yet continue to have a significant relevance today.
We pray that many lost souls will be born-again and then be built-up in the Faith of Jesus Christ. May God sustain, guide and protect this ministry begun with John Michael’s beloved son, Jon Edward Riley (1971-2021) honored here as one to whom honor is due.
Jon Edward loved to say,
“I’m a blood-bought, born-again child of God.”
…then, he would tell them about JESUS and his love. John 3:16

Is this website dailyspurgeon.com trustworthy?
Is it true? Is it of God?
We should apply the following Scripture to everything we hear/read to discern whether what we are hearing or reading is of God and therefore whether or not it should be believed.
1 John 4:1-3 Beloved ones, don’t be believing every spirit [word] you hear but be testing the spirits [words] whether they are of God: because many false prophets have gone out into the world. Here’s how you know if it is the Spirit [voice] of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh, having come from God, is of God: and every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Therefore beloved, we must test every voice [written or spoken] to discern whether it is from God or not. By applying these scripture verses we can determine with certainty if the scriptural standard that protects believers from believing false prophets has been met. We can thereby identify false witnesses and determine not to believe or follow them. The voice [spirit] being tested should not be believed unless it confesses [states] that…
“Jesus Christ is here, in the flesh having come from God .”
Two Greek manuscripts that were cobbled together by Westcott & Hort and Nestle & Aland do not make this confession nor do they follow the Textus Receptus rendered from 5,321 extant Greek manuscripts, which agree overwhelmingly with each other known as as the Majority Text. The 5,321 Majority Text is the source from which the trusted Textus Receptus was rendered.
Instead, these two purveyors of Greek texts used their own Greek translations that they invented by hand picking only 55 of the 5,321extant Greek manuscripts. When these 55 Manuscripts did not contain the text being translated, they inserted their own invented and unfounded Greek text.
Their invented Greek translation presented variant readings different than the Textus Receptus [Received Text] in many places. One example from 1 John, Chapter 4 where all English translations other than the King James version overlook the original Greek verb “ictin” [To be] [is] (third person singular) that is translated in substantially all Majority Texts MT and subsequently in the Textus Receptus [Received Text] and therefore have failed to correctly translate the Greek verb as, “Is come” [Is here]. (correctly Translated from the Textus Receptus [Received Text (TR)] in the King James Version)
This error occurs because the modern critical Greek text, created by Westcott & Hort and Nestles & Alland DO NOT follow the MT [Majority Texts] of 5,321 Greek manuscripts that affirm substantial agreement with one another. The TR [Textus Receptus] is rendered from an overwhelming agreement found among the Majority Text of 5,321 primary Greek manuscript sources.
Both Westcott & Hort and Nestles & Alland ignore the verb “is”, from their invented Greek text and place “has come” instead.
This error may be legally described as res ipsa loquitur a latin phrase that means “the thing speaks for itself”.
Therefore, the Greek inventions generated by these two sources are not actually translations, even though they are introduced as translations, but actually represent their own Greek language inventions unsupported by the reliability of the Majority Texts and the Textus Receptus.
How do we know?
We know because both non-believers and false prophets assert that Jesus Christ
“has come” in the flesh. Practically anyone can make this confession as the birth of Jesus Christ is considered by historians to be the most well documented fact in all of human history.
That He has come is generally acknowledged by nonbelievers and believers alike. However, here’s the point. There is a huge difference in meaning between “Has come” and “Is Here”. “Has come” is woefully short of the essential and clear meaning of the confession “Is Here”.
Just because something “has come” it can not be assumed, inferred or deduced that it also “is here”.
The “has come” assertion is generally held. It is not, per se, a false statement. Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. However, this falls short of presenting a logical rubric to discern whether the sprit [voice] being tested [tried] is from God or from false prophets in the spirit of antichrist.
Again, the expression “has come” rather than “is come” [is here] is not, per se a false statement.
However, it fails to deliver a valid hypothesis, by which spiritual understanding can be discerned. The failure here to establish a logical and rhetorically sound rubric to judge the question of whether spirits [words] are from God or from false prophets and the spirit of antichrist is absent if “has come” is the favored reading.
Actually, “has come” is such a wide-spread belief held to be historically true by all, yet, it does not provide a sound standard to discern whether a spirit [spoken or written words] are from God or the spirit of Antichrist.
Almost anyone [or any spirit] can declare that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh. But as you see, this does not resolve the issue of whether something should or should not be believed as true or followed. Why? Once again, because almost anyone can and often does confess that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh. But, his is an insufficient standard. The standard must be whether the confession that Jesus is here alone, gives an efficacious standard to discern truth from error.
Again, while it is true that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh, this alone is inadequate to discern truth from error. “Has come” does not mean the same thing as “is come [is here], from God, in the flesh” and therefore fails to be efficacious for true spiritual discernment.
Further, as we compare Scripture with scripture in 1 John 4:1-3 and Ephesians 5:30-32
we comprehend God’s message regarding the body of Jesus Christ being in the Flesh vis-à-vis The Body of Christ, The Corporate Church.
Compare Scripture with Scripture: 1 John 4:1-3 with Ephesians 5:30-32
1 John 4:1-3 Authorized (King James) Version
4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Ephesians 5:30-32
Authorized (King James) Version
30 for we are members of his [Jesus Christ’s] body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
[So, we are flesh and bone members of His body, We are] one flesh with Him, The Body of Christ is (In the flesh); and is the incarnate Body of believers.
He was born of a virgin 2025 years ago and He’s alive today.
He’s coming again soon, for His bride; the Church [Blood-bought, Born-again members of His body].
When a believer considers the fact that they are members of the body of Christ [The Church] , they will see and acknowledge that…
“Jesus Christ is here, from God, in the flesh,” because We are the Body of Christ; The Church, in the flesh!
Amen.

THE BEST BIBLE TRANSLATION:
Why The KING JAMES is Best by Steven Houck
Even though [some misinformed Bible readers believe] the King James Version has its weaknesses, it is an excellent translation and by far the best version [and the version most in demand today]. We must not be taken in by the modern versions and their claims. Our 400 years old Bible is to be preferred above all others because it is better than them all.
1) It was translated by men who are unsurpassed in their knowledge of Biblical studies.
2) The translators were pious men of God who believed in the inspiration of the Holy Scriptures.
3) It is the mature fruit of generations of English translations as well as the careful work of its translators.
4) The King James Version is based upon the Received Text rather than the critical Greek text of modern versions. [vis. Sinaiticus and Vaticanus.]
5) It is a word-for-word translation which faithfully and accurately reflects the originals [of the Majority Texts, MT].
6) The language is one of reverence and respect which gives honor [and greater glory] to the majesty of its Author.
7) Of all the English versions of today, it alone is the Bible of the Reformation.
8) Our spiritual forefathers thought so highly of it that they were willing to suffer and even die for it.
9) It is the version which has been recognized for generations and generations as the Bible God has given to His English-speaking Church.
[A 10th reason why it is best is added here by DailySpurgeon.com]
10) The KJV is the work of 54 translators selected and organized into seven companies. (2), from Westminster (2), from Cambridge, (2), from Oxford and (1) from London. The work was done openly allowing each company to receive inquiries or comments during the course of the work. When an issue of disagreement arose, it was addressed in Prayer and discussion was continued until the difference was resolved unanimously and without objection.
BEST ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE BIBLE:
GOD’S WORD (Immutable, God breathed, Self-Authenticating. Providentially Protected and Preserved and Forever Settled in Heaven, Psalm 119:89) The Authorized King James Bible
Is It The Best? David Hocking
David’s Summary (8 min.) The problem is not English, but is which Greek text was used to translate the Greek into English. [The Textus Receptus (Received Text) was rendered from 5,321 extant Greek manuscripts known as the Majority Text MT. These manuscripts overwhelmingly agree with one another and do not contain the heretical biases in the variant readings of the Greek Text of Westcott & Hort, Nestle & Aland or the Textus Vaticanus. The Foundational Greek Texts for all other than the Textus Receptus, rest upon only a scant 55 hand-picked manuscripts from the extant Majority Text instead of all 5,321.

Commitment to the Word of God
Long before the Conservative Resurgence, Dr. R.G. Lee was the Southern Baptist champion of biblical infallibility and inerrancy. In his sermon, “The Word of God – Not Broken and Not Bound,” first published in 1930, Dr. Lee proclaimed, “All who wrote are immortalized by their writing of this great Book [The Holy Bible],
… “supernatural in origin, divine in authorship, human in penmanship, infallible in authority, infinite in scope, universal in interest, personal in application, regenerative in power, inspired [God breathed] in totality.”
Dr Robert G. Lee preached a sermon Payday Someday over 1,000 times and was the Senior Pastor of one of the first Megachurches, Bellevue Baptist Church, Memphis, Tennessee,

Thank You LORD for dailyspurgeon.com a website that proclaims Jesus, the Christ [Messiah and Anointed King] to all the world .
This website ministry grew from a beginning of sending e-mails of promises from Charles Spurgeon’s Faith’s Checkbook a book of daily promises from Scripture to John Michael’s son, Jon Edward Riley (1971- 2021). When Jon shared them with others, they asked to be added to this mailing list. This mailing list grew to over 400 and continues to be used in the distribution of the website contents. Our prayer is that it will continue to encourage followers of Jesus Christ in a more vigorous personal devotion to Love, obedience and oneness with Jesus Christ through the study of and obedience to GOD’S WORD empowered by the Holy Ghost.
We pray that many will be born-again and built-up in the Faith of Jesus Christ. May God sustain, guide and protect this ministry begun with John Michael’s beloved son, Jon Edward Riley (1971-2021) honored here as one to whom honor is due.
Jon Edward loved to say,
“I’m a blood-bought, born-again child of God.”
…then, he would tell them about JESUS and his love. John 3:16

This Documentary presents comprehensive historical facts that led to the unending plethora of over 100 published versionsof the English Bible. These continual but unsuccessfulattempts to replace the King James Version KJV Bible will not succeed because GOD Himselfpreserves and protects His Holy Scriptures from all heresy, blasphemy, compromise and confusion.
THE BEST ENGLISH TRANSLATION OF THE BIBLE:
GOD’S WORD (Immutable, Unchanged and Unchangeable, God breathed, Self-Authenticating. Providentially Preserved and Protected. Forever Settled in Heaven, Psalm 119:89) The Authorized King James Bible
Which Bible Is The Best? David Hocking
The Verdict (8 min.) The problem is not with translating the Bible into the English language. The problem occurs and continues to exist due to additional erroneous and sometimes heretical Greek texts that are created by men who believe themselves competent, authorized and meet [perfectly matched] scribes of The LORD to influence and therefore change the Word of God.
To believe God’s Word is unsettled is folly.
For ever, O Lord, thy Word is settled in heaven. Psalms 119:89
[The Textus Receptus (Received Text) was rendered from 5,321 extant Greek manuscripts known as the Majority Text MT. These manuscripts overwhelmingly agree with one

The Foundational support of these two Greek Texts rest upon only 55 hand-picked manuscripts from the extant Majority Text instead of all 5,321.

A SINNER’S PRAYER
PRAYER 7 Part 2 of 7 LET ALL THE PEOPLE PRAISE THEE.
O God, we are distressed, we are bowed down greatly when we see what is the condition to which we and all our race have fallen.
“Where is boasting [bragging] then?”
And yet we grieve to say that we do boast, and have boasted; and that our fellow-men are great at boasting; whereas they ought rather to lay their hands upon their mouths before Thee. It has become a wonder to us that Thou shouldst [should] look upon man at all; the most hateful object in creation must be a man, because he slew Thy Son, because he has multiplied rebellions against a just and holy law. And yet truly there is no sight that gives Thee more pleasure than man, for Jesus was a man; and the brightness of His glory covers all our shame; and the pureness and perfectness [perfection] of His obedience shines like the sun in the midst of the thick darkness.
For His sake Thou art well pleased, and Thou dost [do] dwell with us. Lord, we once thought that those descriptions of our heart were somewhat strained, but we think not so now, for verily we perceive that had it not been for restraint which held us like fetters, we, in our unregenerate state, were capable of anything; for, even now, when we are regenerate, the old sin that abideth [abides] in us is capable of reaching to a high degree of infamy; and did not the new life restrain the old death we know not what we might yet become.
We thought once we were humble; but we soon found that our pride will feed on any current flattery that is laid at our door. We thought we were believers, but sometimes we are so doubting, so unbelieving, so vexed with skepticism that we should not certainly choose to follow that, that is Thy work in us. By nature, we are such liars that we think Thee a liar too; the surest token of our untruthfulness, that we think that Thou canst [can] be untrue. [In the name of the Lord Jesus] Amen.
(Attachment: PRAYER 7.doc)
ANECDOTE 185: Faith and Feeling.
A certain master had a servant whose mind was very much poisoned against him by slanderous tales. Everything the master did the servant misconstrued, because he considered him to be a tyrant and an oppressor. Now it came to pass that this servant one day learned more concerning his master, and found out that everything he had done was dictated by the most generous motives, and that his master indeed was one of the excellent of the earth. The moment that servant’s thoughts of his master changed and he had faith in his goodness, he acted very differently, as you may well conceive; none could be more faithful and diligent than he. Now, we prove that we believe, because we feel towards God so very differently; he is loved in our inmost souls, and we delight to serve him. This would have been utterly impossible if we had not been changed in our feelings toward him by being led to trust Him.
FAITH’S CHECKBOOK February 3 HE FREELY GIVES by C.H. Spurgeon 1834—1892
“He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all thing?”— Romans 8:32
El que aun a su propio Hijo no perdono, antes le entrego por todos nosotros, como no nos dara tambien con el todas las cosas? Romanos 8:32
If this is not a promise in form, it is in fact. Indeed, it is more than one promise, it is a conglomerate of promises. It is a mass of rubies, and emeralds, and diamonds, with a nugget of gold for their setting. It is a question which can never be answered so as to cause us any anxiety of heart.
What can the Lord deny us after giving us Jesus?
If we need all things in Heaven and earth, He will grant them to us: for if there had been a limit anywhere, He would have kept back His own Son.
What do I want today? I have only to ask for it.
I may seek earnestly, but not as if I had to use pressure, and extort an unwilling gift from the Lord’s hand; for He will give freely.
Of His own will, He gave us His own Son. Certainly no one would have proposed such a gift to Him. No one would have ventured to ask for it. It would have been too presumptuous. He freely gave His Only-begotten; and, O my soul, canst [can] thou not trust thy heavenly Father to give thee anything, to give thee everything? Thy poor prayer would have no force with Omnipotence [infinite power] if force were needed; but
His love, like a spring, rises of itself, and overflows for the supply of all thy needs.
PRAYER: Thank you, Father for the matchless gift of your only begotten Son to all that believe and the freely given promise of all things in Him. Amen.
Make this promises a reality in my heart.
MORNING February 3
"Therefore, brethren [brothers and sisters], we are debtors." —Romans 8:12
─Así que, hermanos, deudores somos─ Romanos 8:12
AS God's creatures [created ones], we are all debtors to Him: to obey Him with all our body, and soul [heart], and strength. Having broken His commandments, as we all have, we are debtors to His justice, and we owe to Him a vast amount which we are not able to pay. But of the Christian it can be said that he does not owe God's justice anything, for [Jesus] Christ has paid the debt His people owed; for this reason the believer owes [all] the more to [His] love.
I am a debtor to God's grace and forgiving mercy; but I am no debtor to His justice, for He will never accuse me of a debt already paid. Christ said, "It is finished!" and by that He meant, that whatever His people owed was wiped away for ever from the book of remembrance. [Jesus] Christ, to the uttermost [max], has satisfied divine [God’s perfect] justice; the account is settled; the handwriting is nailed to the cross; the receipt is given, and we are debtors to God's justice no longer. But then, because we are not debtors to our Lord in that sense, we become ten times more debtors to God than we should have been otherwise. Christian, pause and ponder [think carefully] for a moment. What a debtor you are to [His] divine sovereignty [above all-ness]! How much you owe to
His disinterested [unselfish]love, for He gave His own Son that He might die for you. Consider how much you owe to His forgiving grace, that after ten thousand affronts He loves you as infinitely as ever.
Consider what you owe to His power; how He has raised you from your death in sin; how He has preserved your spiritual life [in you]; how He has kept you from falling; and how, though a thousand enemies have beset [tried to bush-whack] your path, you have been able to hold on your way [be steadfast on your journey]. Consider what you owe to His immutability [unchanging, unchanged and unchangeable]. Though you [and I] have changed a thousand times, He has not changed once.
You are as deep in debt as you can be to every attribute of God.
To God you owe yourself, and all you have—yield yourself as a living s acrifice [give your life, totally dedicated, to Him] , it is but your [just and] reasonable service.
EVENING February 3
"Tell me ... where Thou feedest,[feed]
where Thou makest [make] Thy [your] flock to rest at noon. "
—Song of Solomon 1:7
─Hazme saber Dónde repastas, dónde haces tener majada al medio día—
Cantares 1:7
THESE words express the desire of the believer after [for] Christ, and his longing for present communion with Him. Where do You feed Your flock? In Your house? I will go, if I may find You there. In private prayer? Then I will pray without ceasing. In the Word? Then I will read it diligently. In your ordinances? Then I will walk in them with all my heart. Tell me where You feed for wherever You stand as the Shepherd, there will I lie down as a sheep; for only You can supply my need. I cannot be satisfied to be apart from You. My soul hungers and thirsts for the refreshment of Your presence.
"Where do You make Your flock to rest at noon?"
for whether at dawn or noon, my only rest must be where You are and Your beloved flock. My soul's rest must be a grace-given rest, and can only be found in You. Where is the shadow of that rock? Why should I not repose [rest] beneath it? "Why should I be as one that turneth [turns] aside by the flocks of thy companions?" You have companions—why should I not be one? Satan tells me I am unworthy; but I always was unworthy, and yet You have long loved me; and therefore, my unworthiness cannot be a bar to my having fellowship with You now.
It is true I am weak in faith, and prone to fall, but my very feebleness is the reason why I should always be where You feed Your flock, that I may be strengthened, and preserved in safety beside the still waters. Why should I turn aside? There is no reason why I should, but there are a thousand reasons why I should not, for Jesus beckons me to come. If He withdraws Himself a little, it is only to make me prize His presence more. Now that I am grieved and distressed at being away from Him,
He will lead me yet again to that sheltered nook where the lambs of His fold are sheltered from the burning sun.
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.

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 that was preached originally by Charles Spurgeon in 1875 from his home church, The Metropolitan Tabernacle, London, U.K.
_____________________________________
Can You trust this website?
Is it of God?
Is it trustworthy?
Beloved ones, don’t be believing every spirit [everything you hear] but [continually] be testing the spirit whether it is of God: because many false prophets have come out in the world. Here’s how you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit [voice] that confesseth [confesses, says] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh, having come out of God, is of God: and every spirit [voice] that confesseth not [doesn't confess] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Hence, I confess [declare and affirm] "Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh."
___________________________________________________________________
He has always existed from eternity past [FOREVER] as the WORD of God. John 1:1-2
And He was born of a virgin 2,024 years ago in Bethlehem, the WORD made flesh,
is alive today, and is coming soon for His *bride, the Church
[*All redeemed believers].
"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit,
believed on in the world, received up into glory."
Let me invite you to trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord and to publicly confess [declare] Him as such before men [publicly]. He will therefore be able to acknowledge and confess you before His Father in Heaven. He is The God of Abraham. Isaac and Jacob. Following your public confession, You also invited to follow Him in believer’s baptism by immersion.
Jesus came from Galilee t o Jordan to be baptized by John the Baptist. But, John forbad [refused] Him and said, “I have need to be baptized of You and [yet] you are coming to me?” [for baptism] And Jesus answering him said, “Suffer it to be so [Allow this]: for thus it becometh [is fitting and right for] us to fulfil all righteousness.”
Baptism is not required for salvation. Remember, what Jesus said to the thief on the cross, who acknowledged Jesus’ innocence and said to him:
“Remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
And then, Jesus said to him:
“Verily [Truly] I say to you, Today you shall be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:43
Baptism pictures the Lord’s death, burial and resurrection and the believer’s new birth.
It bears witness with John the Baptist who preached that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand and exhorted Repentance from sin and the Baptism of atonement. Therefore, the act of baptism is not required for salvation but it is an act of obedience to fulfil all righteousness.
Romans 6:3-5:
3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.
