DEVOTION for January 7th *A.D. 2025 Written and calendared for this exact date by Charles Haddon Spurgeon 1834-1892.
*A.D. Does NOT mean after death as is commonly believed. It is a Latin abbreviation
for anno Domani (It means “Year of our Lord”.
BC/AD versus BCE/CE Is there a difference?​
Yes. Stand for the Truth, Won’t you?
Jesus Christ [Messiah] (Anointed King)] the LORD GOD was born of a virgin 2025 years ago, was crucified, then rose from the dead, victorious over sin, death and the grave and is here in the flesh from GOD as His Church, The Body of Christ and will live forever, time without end and He, Himself, is coming again.

A SINNER’S PRAYER
________________________________________
PRAYER 1, Part 7 of 7
HELP FROM ON HIGH.
Lord, save the unconverted, and bring out, we pray [implore] Thee, from among them those who are converted, but who have not [publicly] confessed [Jesus] Christ. May the Church be built up by many who, having believed, are baptized unto the sacred name [of Jesus]. We pray Thee go on and multiply the faithful in the land.
Oh! that Thou wouldst [would] turn the hearts of men to the gospel [“Good News” that Jesus Christ Saves] once more. Thy servant is [I am] often very heavy in heart because of the departures from the faith [backsliders]. Oh! bring them back; let not [Don’t let] Satan take away any more of the stars with his tail, but may the lumps [stars] of God shine bright. Oh! Thou that walkest [walk] among] the seven golden candlesticks [the seven, churches of Asia] trim [turn up] the flame, pour forth [fill-up] the oil, and let the light shine brightly and steadily.
Now, Lord, we cannot pray any longer, though we have a thousand things to ask for. Thy [Your] servant cannot, so he begs to leave a broken [incomplete] prayer at the mercy seat with this at the foot [end] of it:
We ask in the name of Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Amen. ________________________________________
ANECDOTE 158: Death [is] Certain.
“It is appointed unto all men once to die, and after death the judgment.”
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Hebrews 9:27 (KJV)
Run! run! but the fleet pursuer shall overtake thee [you]. Like the stag [buck deer] before the hounds [hunting dogs] we fly swifter than the breeze, but the dogs of Death shall outstrip [overtake] us:
Fever and plague, weakness and decay; he hath but to let slip [drop] these, and they are on us, and who can resist their fury? There is a black camel upon which Death rides, say the Arabs, and that [it] must kneel at every man’s door. [Death comes to all]
With impartial hand he [Death] dashes [runs] down the palace of the monarch as well as the cabin of the peasant. At every man’s door there hangs that black [door] knocker, and Death hath but to uplift it and the dread sound is heard, and the uninvited guest sits down to banquet on our flesh and blood. Die I must. No physician can stretch out my life beyond its allotted term. I must cross that river. I may use a thousand stratagems, [strategies] but I cannot escape. Even now I am like the deer surrounded by the hunters in a circle, a circle which is narrowing every day; and soon must I fall and pour out my life upon the ground. Let me never forget, then, that while other things are uncertain, death is sure.

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK January 7 ALWAYS GROWING C.H. Spurgeon 1834-1892
-Thou shalt see greater things than these- John 1:50
-Cosas mayores que estas verás- Juan 1:50
This is spoken to a childlike believer, who was ready to accept Jesus as the Son of God, the King of Israel, upon one convincing piece [point] of argument.
Those who are willing to see shall see:
it is because we shut our eyes that we become so sadly blind. We have seen much already. Great things and unsearchable has the Lord showed unto us, for which we praise His name; but there are greater truths in His Word, greater depths of experience, greater heights of fellowship, greater works of usefulness, greater discoveries of power, and love, and wisdom.
These we are yet to see if we are willing to believe our Lord. The faculty [cleverness] of inventing false doctrine is ruinous, but power to see the truth is a blessing.
Heaven shall be opened to us, the way thither [there] shall be made clear to us in the Son of man, [Jesus the Messiah] and the angelic commerce [business] which goes on between the upper and the lower kingdoms shall be made more manifest [shown] to us. Let us keep our eyes open toward spiritual objects [things], and expect to see more and more. Let us believe that our lives will not drivel [shrink] down into nothing, but that we shall be always on the growing hand, seeing greater and still greater things, till we behold the Great God himself, and never again lose the sight of Him.
Prayer: Thank you Lord that we shall see even greater things than these, things that we have already seen. There are always greater truths in His Word, greater depths to experience, greater heights of fellowship, greater works of usefulness, greater discoveries of power, and love, and wisdom. We will yet see these because we believe in You, Lord Jesus. O Lord, show me even greater spiritual things, in Your name Lord Jesus, Amen.

… and pray for the saving of souls and strengthening of believers.
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 to rightly divide God’s eternal Word preserved and protected by God, Himself.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten [supernaturally fathered] Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
The Textus Receptus TR [Received Text] is the faithfully rendered Greek text with an overwhelming agreement in and among the majority of the 5,321 extant New Testament, Greek manuscripts known as the MT. [Majority Text]. The Old Testament Hebrew and Aramaic manuscripts were meticulously copied by hand [manuscript] by the Masoretic scribes. These are the manuscripts from which the Original King James version was translated onto English.
In order for Westcott & Hort and Nestle & Aland to create the Modern Greek to create the many variant reaings brought through highly nuanced readings from the Critical Text theory. Only Fifty-five 55 manuscripts from the 5,321 Majority Text MT were hand-picked and they were not from the foundational text from which the Textus Receptus was rendered but were selected from the inferior Sinaiticus and Vaticanus codices. These fifty-five manuscripts brought variant readings and were created, ostensibly, to justify the creation of an alternative Greek text to the Textus Receptus which had been under spurious attack by Westcott & Hort and Nestle & Aland for many years.
The Codices known as Sinaiticus and Vaticanus are inferior because they often are in disagreement with the Textus Receptus and incredibly, with one another. They give rise to variant readings and embrace secular doctrine bias not supported by scripture translated from the Majority Text or Textus Receptus. They have been infused by invented Greek text where an absence of Greek text from the Fifty-five hand-picked manuscripts was found.
They invented but did not disclose themselves as the source of the new Greek translation. They supplied this new Greek translation to all Committee members with the aim to revise the King James Bible. However, They insisted on a code of silence as to the authorship of the Greek Text from which all the Revisions were to be based. All members of the committee were required to agree to this code.
Modern textual criticism is based on the assumption that older manuscripts are, de-facto, more accurate. Actually, the continuous and unsettled changes from their variant readings reflect error, doctrinal ambiguities and biases not supported by the Majority Text.
Scripture based on The Greek text of Westcott & Hort and Nestle & Aland of a secular or denominational tradition allow modern textual criticism to rob God of His Sovereignty, Omnipotence, Omnipresence, Immutability, Inerrancy and Infallibility and to diminish Glory from His infinite and everlasting “I AM” that deserves and demands ALL GLORY!
For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in Heaven. Psalm 119:89
God is not the author of confusion. 1 Corinthians 4:33
God, Himself, providentially protects and preserves all of His inspired WORD. HIS God-breathed, self-authenticating, immutable [unchanging and unchangeable], eternal, everlasting inerrant, infallible, infinite and all-powerful [omnipotent] Word.
For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in Heaven. Psalm 119:89

MORNING: "For me to live is Christ”—Philippians 1:21
—Porque para mi el vivir es Cristo- Filipenses 1:21
The believer did not always live to Christ. He began to do so when God the Holy Spirit convinced him of sin, and when by grace he was brought to see the dying Savior making a propitiation [the sufficient, paid in full sacrifice] for his guilt. From the moment of the new and celestial birth from above the man begins to live to Christ.
Jesus is to believers the one pearl of great price, for whom we are willing to part with all that we have. He has so completely won our love, that it beats alone for him; to his glory we would live, and in defense of his gospel we would die; he is the pattern of our life, and the model after which we would sculpture our character.
Paul's words mean more than most men think; they imply that the aim and end of his life was Christ… --nay, [No.] his life itself was Jesus.
In the words of an ancient saint, he did eat, and drink, and sleep eternal life. Jesus was his very breath, the soul of his soul, the heart of his heart, the life of his life. Can you say, as a professing Christian, that you live up to this idea?
Can you honestly say that for you to live is Christ? Your business--are you doing it for Christ? Is it not done for self-aggrandizement and for family advantage? Do you ask, "Is that a mean [insufficient] reason?" For the Christian it is.
He professes to live for Christ; how can he live for another object without committing a spiritual adultery? Many there are who carry out this principle in some measure; but who is there that dare say that he hath lived wholly for Christ as the apostle did?
Yet, this alone is the true life of a Christian--its source, its sustenance, its fashion, its end, all gathered up in one word --Christ Jesus.
Prayer: Lord, accept me; I here present myself, praying to live only in thee and to thee. Let me be as the bullock which stands between the plough and the altar, to work or to be sacrificed; and let my motto be,
"Ready for either."

EVENING, Jauary 7
"My sister, my spouse. "—Song of Solomon 4:12
— Mi hermana, esposa mía— Cantares 4:12
OBSERVE the sweet titles with which the heavenly Solomon with intense affection addresses His [the Lord’s] bride, the church.
"My sister," one near to Me by ties of nature, partaker of the same sympathies. My spouse [wife], nearest and dearest, united to Me by the tenderest bands of love; sweet companion, part of My own self. My sister, by My Incarnation, which makes Me bone of your bone and flesh of your flesh; My spouse [wife], by heavenly betrothal, in which I have espoused you unto Myself in righteousness. My sister, whom I knew of old, and over whom I watched from her earliest infancy; My spouse, taken from among the daughters, embraced by arms of love, and affianced [engaged to be married] unto Me forever. See how true it is that our royal Kinsman [the Lord Jesus, our nearest relative] is not ashamed of us, for He dwells with manifest delight upon this two-fold relationship. [Bride and Sister]
We have the word "my" twice in our version, as if Christ dwelt with rapture [because Christ continues to be enraptured] on His possession of His Church.
"His delights were with the sons of men,"
because those sons of men were His own chosen ones. He, the Shepherd, sought the sheep, because they were His sheep; He has gone about "to seek and to save that which was lost," because that which was lost was His long before it was lost to itself or lost to Him.
The church is the exclusive portion [possession] of her Lord; none else may claim a partnership, or pretend to share her love. Jesus, your church delights to have it so! Let every believing soul drink solace [peace, comfort and contentment] out of these wells.
Christ is near to you in ties of relationship; Christ is dear to you in bonds of marriage union, and you are dear to Him.
Behold, He grasps both of your hands with both His own, saying, "My sister, my spouse." Mark the two sacred clasps [taking your hands in His own] by which your Lord gets such a double hold of you that He neither can nor will ever let you go. Be not slow [Be quick] to return the hallowed [holy] flame of His love.

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.

SPECIAL SPURGEON SERMON: “Why Men Cannot Believe in Christ”
[Christ Jesus]
URL: https://youtu.be/hHF1r74XaTQ?si=czhwYSJP9H53XqCy
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.

Amen.

Remembering Jon Edward Riley (1971-2021) who would sometimes just bust-out singing the following songs; sometimes, on the way to church sometimes just singing along with the Elvis Gospel CD that was always kept in the truck’s CD player or, even better, a song the Lord would spontaneously put in his joyful and loving heart.

…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.
