A SINNER'S PRAYER June 27th  

______________________ __________________

 

PRAYER 24, June 27th  Part 2 of 11    DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

 

We come for mercy, great God; it must always be our first request, for we have sinned, sinned against a just and holy law of which our conscience approves. We are evil, but Thy [Your] law is holy and just and good. We have offended knowingly; we have offended again and again; after being chastened [disciplined] we have still offended, and even those of us who are forgiven, who through Thy [Your] rich love have been once for all washed from every stain, yet have we sinned grievously; and we confess it with much shame and bitter self-reproach [rebuke] that we should sin against such tender love, and against the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, who is in His people; and who checks [convicts] them and quickens their consciences; so that they [we] sin against light and knowledge when they [we] sin. Wash us yet [once] again. I ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.] (Attachment: PRAYER 24.doc) ________________________________________

 

ANECDOTE 325: June 27th  PRAYING FOR INDIVIDUALS.

I remember George Whitfield says when he began to pray, his first prayer was that God would convert those with whom he used to play at cards [play cards with] and waste his Sundays. “And blessed be God,” he says, “I *got every one of them.”

 

*Was the instrument God used to lead them all to Faith in Christ Jesus.

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK June 27th: THANK HIM; DWELL ACCEPTABLE

By C.H. Spurgeon 1834 – 1892

 

-Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence-

 -Psalm 140:13

 

-Ciertamente los justos alabaran tu nombre; Los rectos morarán en tu presencia- Salmos 140:13

 

Oh that my heart may be upright, that I may always be able to bless the name of the Lord! He is so good to those that be good, that I would fain [with the strongest desire] be among them, and feel myself full of thankfulness every day.

 

Perhaps, for a moment, the righteous are staggered when their integrity results in severe trial; but assuredly [most surely] the day shall come when they shall bless their God that they did not yield to evil suggestions and adopt a shifty [deceitful] policy. In the long run, true men [Born-again believers] will thank the God of the right [of righteousness] for leading them by a right way. [The Way, Jesus Christ] Oh, that I may be among them! What a promise is implied in this second clause [expression],

 

-The upright shall dwell in thy presence-!

 

They shall stand accepted where others appear only to be condemned. They shall be the courtiers [the King’s Court] of the Great King, indulged with audience [allowed to come into his presence] when-so-ever they desire it. They shall be favored ones upon whom Jehovah [God] smiles, and with whom He graciously communes [talks to and has fellowship with].

 

Lord, I covet [earnestly desire] this high honor, this precious privilege: it will be Heaven on earth to me to enjoy it. Make me in all things upright, that I may today, and tomorrow, and every day stand in thy heavenly presence. Then will I give thanks unto thy name evermore [forever]. Amen.

Prayer: Yea and amen, Father, that the righteous will surely give thanks unto Your name and the upright will dwell in your presence. Thank you, Lord Jesus that You clothe us with Your righteousness, allow us to dwell in Your presence, upright in You. Thank You, in Your name, Lord Jesus, Amen.

MORNING  June 27th   "ONLY YE SHALL NOT GO VERY FAR AWAY. "—Exodus 8:28

 

— Con tal que no vayáis más lejos —Exodo 8:28

 

THIS is a crafty word from the lip of the arch-tyrant Pharaoh. If the poor, in-bondage Israelites [slaves] must go out of Egypt, then he bargains with them that it not be very far away; not too far for them to escape the terror of his arms, [soldiers] and the observation of his spies. After the same fashion, the world loves not [doesn’t love] the nonconformity of nonconformity, or the dissidence of dissent. It would have us be more charitable and not carry matters with too severe a hand [too seriously]. Death to the world, and burial with Christ, are experiences which carnal [fleshly] minds treat with ridicule, and hence the Sacrament [Ordinance] which sets them forth is almost universally neglected, and even contemned [as it is thought to be  contemptable].

 

Worldly wisdom recommends the path of compromise, and talks of "moderation. " According to this carnal policy, purity is admitted to be very desirable, but we are warned against being too precise; truth is of course to be followed, but error is not to be severely denounced.

 

"Yes," says the world, "be spiritually minded by all means, but do not deny yourself a little gay society [fun], an occasional ball [dance], and a Christmas visit to a theater.” [entertainment and pass-times that draw us away from holiness] “What's the good of crying down [being opposed to] a thing when it is so fashionable, [cool] and

 

 “everybody does it?”

 

Multitudes of nominal Christians [In Name Only,] yield to this cunning advice, to their own eternal ruin. If we would follow the Lord wholly, we must go right away into the wilderness of separation, and leave the Egypt of the carnal world behind us. [leave worldliness alone!]

 

We must leave its maxims [platitudes], its pleasures, and its religion too, and go far away to the place where the Lord calls His sanctified [redeemed and set-apart] ones. When the town is on fire, our house cannot be too far from the flames. When the plague is abroad, a man cannot be too far from its haunts [influence]. The further from a viper [poisonous snake] the better, and the further from worldly conformity the better. To all true believers let the trumpet call be sounded [ring out],

 

"Come ye out from among them, be ye separate."

 ________________________________________

 

EVENING June 27th  "LET EVERY MAN ABIDE IN THE SAME CALLING WHEREIN HE WAS CALLED." —1 Corinthians 7:20

—Cada uno en la vocación en que fué llamado, en ella se quede. —1 Corintios 7:20

 

SOME persons have the foolish notion that the only way in which they can live for God is by becoming ministers, missionaries, or Bible women. Alas, [Oh dear me] how many would be shut out from any opportunity of magnifying the Most High, if this were the case.

 

Beloved, it is not [the]  office, [or a big title] it is earnestness; it is not position, it is grace that will enable us to glorify God. God is more surely glorified in that cobbler's stall [shoemaker’s shop] , where the godly worker, as he plies the awl [a hand tools] , sings of the Savior's love; ay, glorified far more than in many a *prebendal stall [* a room, with per diem and a stipend  provided from the church to a designated member] where official religious repetition performs its scanty duties.

 

The name of Jesus is glorified by the poor unlearned carter [cart driver] as he drives his horse, and blesses his God, or speaks to his fellow laborer by the roadside, as much as by the popular divine [preacher] who, throughout the country, like Boanerges, [an Aramaic nickname that Jesus gave to James and John that means “sons of thunder”] is thundering out the gospel.

 

God is glorified by our serving Him in our proper vocations [daily occupations]. Take care, dear reader, that you do not forsake the path of duty by leaving your occupation, and take care you do not dishonor your profession while in it. Think little of yourselves, but do not think too little of your calling.

Every lawful trade may be sanctified by the gospel to noblest ends. Turn to the Bible, and you will find the most menial forms of labor connected either with most daring deeds of faith, or with persons whose lives have been illustrious [good illustrations of] holiness.

 

Therefore, be not discontented with your calling. Whatever God has made your position, or your work, abide in that, unless you are quite sure that he calls you to something else.

 

Let your first care be to glorify God to the utmost of your power where you are. Fill your present sphere [of influence] to His praise, and if He needs you in another, He will show it [to] you. 

 

This evening lay aside vexing ambition, and embrace peaceful contentment.

WHO IS THE GOD OF THE BIBLE? 
by David Hocking

WHAT IS THE MEANING OF HIS NAME?

 

(1 One)   His Name is INCOMPREHENSIBLE!

Exodus 3:13-15 “13 And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? 14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. 15 And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.”


Isaiah 9:6  For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given:
and the government shall be upon his shoulder:
and his name shall be called Wonderful,
Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.


Psalm 139:6

Authorized (King James) Version

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high, I cannot attain unto it.”

 

 

(2 Two)  His Name is INFINITE!

Psalm 145:1-3
1 I will extol thee, my God, O king;
and I will bless thy name for ever and ever.
2 Every day will I bless thee;
and I will praise thy name for ever and ever.

3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
and his greatness is unsearchable.

Romans 11:33
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
 

(3 Three)   His Name is INCORRUPTABLE!

              (two issues:  holy  and eternal)

Psalm 72:17
“His Name shall endure for ever: His name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in Him: all nations shall call Him blessed.”

Psalm 99:3
“Let them praise Thy great and terrible name; for it is Holy.”

Psalm 111:9
“Holy and reverend is His name.”
Psalm 135:13
Thy Name, O LORD  endureth for ever; and Thy memorial,  O LORD, throughout all generations.”
Psalm 145:21
“Let all flesh bless His holy Name for ever and ever.”

(4 Four)  His name is IMMUTABLE! [Unchanged and unchangeable]

Malachi 3:6
“For I am the LORD, I change not.”

Hebrews 6:18
That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have (1) a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon (2) the hope set before us.”

(5 Five)  His name is INCOMPARABLE! [Without Equal]

Deuteronomy 4:35
“Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightiest know that the LORD He is God;  there is none else beside Him.”

Deuteronomy 4:39
Know therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: there is none else.

 

 (6 Six)   His Name is INDESCRIBABLE! [No description adequately describes HIM] 
 
El, Eloah, Elyon, Elohim, Adon, Adonai, - Yah, Yahveh
(The Names for GOD used 10,952 times in the Bible!)
____________________________________

To Abraham – His Name is El Shaddai [God Almighty, Abundant Provider,  Provider of More than Enough]
 

Genesis17:1   ,
And when Abram was ninety and nine (99) years old,  the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I Am, the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.

Why Cults, False Teachers and Heretics have tried to delete 1 John 5:7
from the Bible.    

 By Dr. Phil Stringer

 

In Defense of I John 5:7

By Dr. Phil Stringer


1 John 5:7 Is The Great Trinitarian Proof Text of The Bible. (For The immutable Doctrine of the Trinity.)

 

Daniel Webster [Author of the Famous Webster Dictionary] was once asked. “Does it not bother you [Mr. Webster] to believe in the Trinity since you cannot explain it?

 

His answer was,  “What would bother me would be to have a God so small that I could fully explain HIM.”

Why The Traditional  Greek Text Also Known As The Received Text [Latin: Textus Receptus] TR is Inspired, Inerrant and Immutable.

By Dr. David Sorenson
 

In addition to overwhelming evidence of authenticity from the 5,321 Majority Text Greek manuscripts, this link gives Translational Evidence that proves the age of the Textus Receptus to be older than both the  Codices Sinaiticus and Vaticanus, Primary Greek sources used in all Critical Text translations.

This includes Westcott and Hort, Nestle and Aland and the Codices Sinaiticus and *Vaticanus.

*The unique and final Greek Text so deemed, authorized and sanctioned by the Catholic Church and The Vatican.

The Lord Jesus *Christ
[*Anointed Messiah]

was supernaturally Fathered by the Holy Ghost,  and born of a teen-aged virgin girl named  Mary 2026 years ago in Bethlehem of Judea.

He was crucified, and His lifeless body was placed in a tomb. After three days, GOD  brought Him back to life again, and raised HIM from the dead victorious over sin, death and the grave.

He is GOD’S Incarnate WORD and Everlasting SACRIFICE, The LAMB of GOD, [THE WORD of GOD made flesh.]  The CHURCH is the BODY of *Christ,
*[The MESSIAH.]

[The CHURCH] is HIS espoused [Legally Bound] Bride, for whom HE will come again to consummate their Marriage in the Marriag                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  and Protected Words of GOD.
These WORDS are God-Breathed, [Spoken] Eternal WORDS spoken by Almighty GOD. The same GOD who calls Himself “I AM”, is Omni-Lingual, Omnipotent, Omniscient, Immutable, All-Wise, Omnipresent, Eternally and Supremely Holy. He is the One-and-Only Triune, Three-in-One GOD.


“I and my Father are one”.  John 10:30

________________________________
 

1 John 5:7  Is the fundamental scriptural  basis for the doctrine and essential tenet of the Trinity. [The Triune, [Three-in-One] GOD in-Three Persons   (This verse has been omitted or Changed to diminish the authority and the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ or has been Removed entirely from all Critical Text translations by apostates that hold to the untenable goal of False Doctrine that gives rise to all manner of Cults, False Teaching, Heresies, false Prophets, Agnostics, Gnostics, Atheists and  Pagans.


Therefore, The incarnate WORD of GOD, [Jesus *Christ
(*The Anointed MESSIAH) and His Father are ONE.]  John 10:30

7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, [Jesus Christ] and the Holy Ghost: and
THESE THREE ARE ONE. John 10:30


8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, [Holy Ghost] and the Water [Life of the Father], and the Blood; [The Sacrificial Blood of Jesus Christ]: and these three AGREE IN ONE. 9 If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son,  [The LORD Jesus *Christ
*(The Anointed Messiah)].

 

GOD calls Himself “I AM” and Jesus Christ is The WORD made Flesh, GOD’s WORD is infinite and will endure FOREVER, from Eternity Past through the never-ending Eternal Future.

The Traditional Text: It's History & Manifestation

 

By Dr. David Sorenson

In addition to evidence of authenticity from the 5,321 Majority Text manuscripts, this link presents Translational Evidence that the Traditional Text is Inerrant, Infallible and is the Inspired [Word-by-Word, GOD-Breathed Greek Text that moved the Prophets and Apostles to write precisely the Greek and Hebrew words they were told to write by the Holy Ghost]

The Traditional Text.  Length: (33:56 minutes)

The Traditional Greek Text was printed, not written by Desiderius Erasmus and was used  in the FIRST Christian Church at Antioch. It was later called The Received Text [vis. Latin: The Textus Receptus TR]. 

Over Five Billion King James Bibles, the 1769 Edition [NOT the NEW King James Bibles based on the inferior Critical Greek Text] account for more sales world-wide than any other version or edition of the Holy Bible.

This is more than all other Bible Versions and Editions Combined.
______________________________________

 The Critical Text vs. The Traditional Text

(Also Known As The Received Text , The Textus Receptus  TR , and The Authorised Version AV and AKJV)

By Dr. David Sorenson

 

So, Dr. Sorenson, “I hear You are King James Only.”
 
No, I’m Traditional Text only. But if you come to the view and the conviction of being Traditional Text only, you will be Only King James.

The issue is not translational.


Marketing ploys by publishing companies with little basis in reality would have us to believe that the new versions  are:
 

  • Easier to read.

  • More modern.

  • More accurate (Not  true)
     

The truth is that the KJV remains The most popular. (is still the most popularly read Bible in America). Over five billion copies of the King James (1769) is greater than all the other versions and editions combined.


The issue comes down to the textual issue. By That, I refer to the underlying Greek text. I guess we could say texts, plural but particularly that of the New Testament. On the one hand is the Traditional Text from which the only major English translation is the King James Version of the Bible. The Traditional Text.

On the other hand, is the Critical Text sometimes called the eclectic text from whence all the other translations come. And some will say well there really is no difference between them. The difference you could amount to is just the footnotes in the bottom of a page. (This is Not true) He was not dishonest but just repeating what someone had told him.

As Jon remembered veterans, we remember him: Jon Edward Riley (1971-2021) who would, on occasion, 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.

 

I LOVE You Lord by Jared Reynolds

How Great Thou Art with Elvis

Lead Me & Rock-a My Soul by Elvis and friends


…Jon always said “Later”; as in [see’ya later] instead of “good bye”. It was his unique way to bid farewell … He would never say “good-bye”. Now,  remembering the sound of his voice saying “Later”, it rings true with a  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 always will.

… we are reminded of the promise of the Hymn:

 

’Till We Meet Again. Amen.

GOD’S INSPIRED, INERRANT, INFALLIBLE  and  IMMUTABLE  WORD OF GOD AND…

STILL THE  WORLD’S MOST POPULAR  BIBLE

BY: SARAH PRUITT

UPDATED: JULY 13, 2023

For more than  400 years is The Authorized King James Bible. (KJV) It is immutable, inerrant, infallible and eternal. It will endure for ever, protected and preserved by God HIMSELF.

From Spurgeon’s Metropolitan Tabernacle (Brief History) 

 

The Threefold Abiding 1 John 2:24 with Dr. Peter Masters, Pastor

In five verses John describes three major aspects of the spiritual life, the word 'abide' appearing six times. Here is how we should make use of the body of Christian doctrine, maintain close union with Christ, and keep alive the illumination of the Spirit.

COMMITMENT TO THE infallibility and inerrancy of the WORD OF GOD and 

PAYDAY SOMEDAY
(R.G. Lee’s Signature Sermon)

 A Peerless Pulpiteer  (Biographical Text)  was Dr. Robert G. Lee, Pastor, Bellevue Baptist Church, Memphis Tennessee
URL:

https://christianindex.org/stories/rg-lee-a-peerless-pulpiteer,1680 

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,” published in 1930, in which Dr. Lee stated the following regarding the HOLY BIBLE: (KJV)
“All [Prophets and Apostles] who wrote are immortalized by their writing of this great Book, 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. R.G. Lee preached a much requested sermon called Payday Someday over 1,000 times. 

Why was it so powerful? Why was it requested and preached so many times?

The climax of 1 Peter is the prayer that we, having suffered in some measure on earth, will be fully repaired, fixed firmly on the road, providing a sure basis for those who follow us. Here also we explore the definition of God's glory.

Ecclesiastes 7.1

The richest king of his time, who indulged to extremes in pleasure, intellectual pursuits and creative skills, and who kept 700 wives - Solomon - eventually found a godless life futile and turned to the Lord. Here is his experience and his appeal to all for conversion.

SACRED LITERATURE:

THE PILGRIM’S PROGRESS   by  John Bunyan  is the most famous Allegory, world-wide and the Most widely Published Book of all time and was printed in over 200 Languages. It has NEVER,  since 1698, been  out-of-print.

 

Only The King James Bible was more widely published than The Pilgrim’s Progress.

 

ONLINE PRINT LIBRARY: (No Enrollment Fee or Registration required)

 

BUNYAN’S  ORIGINAL of 1678: The Pilgrim’s Progress  Published in 1853  by Logos  

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

OLD ENGLISH  PRINT: The Pilgrim’s Progress  Part II   AKA  Christiana 
(Christian’s wife, Christiana and children; their dangerous journey, and safe arrival at the desired country.)

 

 Pilgrim Progress is the world’s most famous Allegory, It and the Bible were commonly the only books to be found in the cabin of early American Settlers and were  loved and  read more than any book, second only to the Holy Bible.  It’s  also considered, by some, as being the world’s first English novel. It’s likely the most published book other than the Bible of all time. There were 1,300 editions printed before 1938,  250 years after the Bunyan’s death. Hence, the world’s most famous Allegory.

 

 Comment on Pilgrim’s Progress by Charles H. Spurgeon from the Spurgeon Sermon 
“Christ in You”.

 

Spurgeon:  Christ in us is Christ reigning." reminds me of Mr. Bunyan’s picture of [the town of] Mansoul, …when the Prince Immanuel laid siege to it, and Diabolus from within the city strove to keep him out. It was a, hard time for Mansoul then; but when at last the battering rams had broken down the gates, and the silver trumpets sounded, and the prince’s captains entered the breach, then on a day the prince himself did ride down the city’s streets, while liberated citizens welcomed him with all their hearts, hung out all their streamers, and made the church towers rock again as the bells rang out merry peals [happy melodies] , for the king himself was come. Up to the castle of the heart [main castle]  he rode in triumph, and took his royal throne to be henceforth the sole lord and king of the city.

       Christ in you is a right royal word. Christ swaying his scepter from the center of your being over every power and faculty, desire and resolve, bringing every thought into captivity to himself, Oh, this is glory begun, and the sure pledge of heaven. Oh, for more of the imperial sovereignty of Jesus, The Messiah;  our liberty to be absolutely under his sway.

 

 Spurgeon Sermon: Christ in You, Preached May 13, 1883 Scripture: Colossians 1:27  From: Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Volume 29   (cit. II. THE SWEETNESS OF THIS MYSTERY, WHICH IS CHRIST IN YOU, § 5)

 

You may choose to read, listen or share Pilgrim’s Progress with your little ones as a bed time story.   It will bless, strengthen, encourage and instruct pilgrims of all ages and will create precious and enduring memories in little ears. 

 

Spurgeon read it for the first time as a precocious five year old reader and would returned to read it over 100 times during the course of his remarkable ministry as a Baptist pastor who is  known as The Prince of Preachers .

DEVOTION for June 27th Written and calendared by Charles Haddon Spurgeon

 

PRAYER: 24, Part 2 DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

ANECDOTE 325: Praying far Individuals, Whitfield.

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK: June 27   THANK HIM; DWELL ACCEPTABLY

-Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence-  Psalm 140:13

MORNING: "Only ye shall not go very far away.” —Exodus 8:28

EVENING: "Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called."
1 Corinthians 7:20

A SINNER'S PRAYER

________________________________________

 

PRAYER 24, Part 2 of 11

DELIVER US FROM EVIL.

We come for mercy, great God; it must always be our first request, for we have sinned, sinned against a just and holy law of which our conscience approves. We are evil, but Thy [Your] law is holy and just and good. We have offended knowingly; we have offended again and again; after being chastened [disciplined] we have still offended, and even those of us who are forgiven, who through Thy [Your] rich love have been once for all washed from every stain, yet have we sinned grievously; and we confess it with much shame and bitter self-reproach [rebuke] that we should sin against such tender love, and against the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, who is in His people; and who checks [is the one who convicts] them and quickens their consciences; so that they [we] sin against light and knowledge when they [we] sin. Wash us yet again [once again]. I ask this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.] (Attachement: PRAYER 24.doc) ________________________________________

 

Anecdote 325: Praying for Individuals.

I remember George Whitfield says when he began to pray, his first prayer was that God would convert those with whom he used to play at cards [play cards with] and waste his Sundays. “And blessed be God,” he says, “I *got every one of them.”

 

  • Led to Faith in Christ Jesus

________________________________________

 

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK JUNE 27: C.H. Spurgeon 1834 – 1892

THANK HIM; DWELL ACCEPTABLE

-Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence- Psalm 140:13

-Ciertamente los justos alabaran tu nombre; Los rectos morarán en tu presencia- Salmos 140:13

 

Oh that my heart may be upright, that I may always be able to bless the name of the Lord! He is so good to those that be [are] good, that I would fain [with the strongest desire] be among them, and feel myself full of thankfulness every day.

 

Perhaps, for a moment, the righteous are staggered when their integrity results in severe trial; but assuredly [surely] the day shall come when they shall bless their God that they did not yield to evil suggestions and adopt a shifty [deceitful] policy. In the long run true men [believers] will thank the God of the right [of righteousness] for leading them by a right way. Oh, that I may be among them! What a promise is implied in this second clause,

 

-The upright shall dwell in thy presence-!

 

They shall stand accepted where others appear only to be condemned. They shall be the courtiers of the Great King, [the King’s court] indulged with audience [allowed to come into his presence] when-so-ever they desire it. They shall be favored ones upon whom Jehovah [God] smiles, and with whom He graciously communes [has conversation and fellowship].

 

Lord, I covet [earnestly desire] this high honor, this precious privilege: it will be Heaven on earth to me to enjoy it. Make me in all things upright, that I may today, and tomorrow, and every day stand in thy heavenly presence. Then will I give thanks unto thy name evermore [forever]. Amen.

Prayer: Yea and amen, Father, that the righteous will surely give thanks unto Your name and the upright will dwell in your presence. Thank you, Lord Jesus that You clothe us with Your righteousness, allow us to dwell in Your presence, upright in You. Thank You, in Your name, Lord Jesus, Amen.

MORNING June 27

"Only ye shall not go very far away. "—Exodus 8:28

— Con tal que no vayáis más lejos —Exodo 8:28

 

THIS is a crafty word from the lip of the arch-tyrant Pharaoh. If the poor in-bondage Israelites [Israeli slaves] must go out of Egypt, then he bargains with them that it not be very far away; not too far for them to escape the terror of his arms, [military] and the observation of his spies. After the same fashion, the world loves not the nonconformity of nonconformity, or the dissidence of dissent. It would have us be more charitable and not carry matters with too severe a hand [too seriously]. Death to the world, and burial with Christ, are experiences which carnal minds treat with ridicule, and hence the Sacrament [Ordinance] which sets them forth is almost universally neglected, and even contemned [viewed with contempt].

 

Worldly wisdom recommends the path of compromise, and talks of "moderation. " According to this carnal policy, purity is admitted to be very desirable, but we are warned against being too precise; truth is of course to be followed, but error is not to be severely denounced. "Yes," says the world, "be spiritually minded by all means, but do not deny yourself a little gay society, [fun] an occasional ball [dance], and a Christmas visit to a theater. [entertainment that draws us away from holiness] What's the good of crying down [rejecting] a thing when it is so fashionable, [cool] and

 

 everybody does it?”

 

Multitudes of nominal Christians [In Name Only,] yield to this cunning advice, to their own eternal ruin. If we would follow the Lord wholly, we must go right away into the wilderness of separation, and leave the Egypt of the carnal world behind us.

 

We must leave its maxims [platitudes], its pleasures, and its religion too, and go far away to the place where the Lord calls His sanctified [redeemed, set-apart] ones. When the town is on fire, our house cannot be too far from the flames. When the plague is abroad, a man cannot be too far from its haunts [influences]. The further from a viper [poisonous snake] the better, and the further from worldly conformity the better. To all true believers let the trumpet call be sounded,

 

"Come ye out from among them, be ye separate."

EVENING June 27

"Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called." —1 Corinthians 7:20

—Cada uno en la vocación en que fué llamado, en ella se quede. —1 Corintios 7:20

 

SOME persons have the foolish notion that the only way in which they can live for God is by becoming ministers, missionaries, or Bible women. Alas, how many would be shut out from any opportunity of magnifying the Most High, if this were the case. Beloved, it is not office, [a big title] it is earnestness; it is not position, it is grace that will enable us to glorify God. God is more surely glorified in that cobbler's stall [shoemaker’s shop] , where the godly worker, as he plies the awl [hand tools] , sings of the Savior's love; ay, glorified far more than in many a *prebendal stall [* a room, per diem and fee provided from the church to a designated member] where official religiousness performs its scanty duties.

 

The name of Jesus is glorified by the poor unlearned carter [cart driver] as he drives his horse, and blesses his God, or speaks to his fellow laborer by the roadside, as much as by the popular divine [preacher] who, throughout the country, like Boanerges, [the sons of thunder, James and John] is thundering out the gospel.

 

God is glorified by our serving Him in our proper vocations [daily work] . Take care, dear reader, that you do not forsake the path of duty by leaving your occupation, and take care you do not dishonor your profession while in it. Think little of yourselves, but do not think too little of your calling.

Every lawful trade may be sanctified by the gospel to noblest ends. Turn to the Bible, and you will find the most menial forms of labor connected either with most daring deeds of faith, or with persons whose lives have been illustrious [good illustrations of] holiness. Therefore, be not discontented with your calling. Whatever God has made your position, or your work, abide in that, unless you are quite sure that he calls you to something else.

 

Let your first care be to glorify God to the utmost of your power where you are. Fill your present sphere [of influence] to His praise, and if He needs you in another, He will show it you. 

 

This evening lay aside vexing ambition, and embrace peaceful contentment.

A SINNER’S  PRAYER 

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

 Pray and call on the name of the Lord Jesus, like this. Won’t you? 

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

Thank you Lord Jesus that You love me and died for me before I was born and that You have always loved me and will never reject or turn your back on me. I know You are the Way, the Truth and the Life and that no one can come to the Father but by You.  

Thank you, Father that You have caused for me to see myself as I am; a lost sinner.  But,  because of Your love and goodness, You have made a way and given me the desire to come to You, to turn away from my sin and to trust in You, Lord Jesus.  You took my place on the cross and provided the way for  me to be forgiven. Thank You.
Thank You that You prompted a desire in me to believe in You, the only begotten  Son of God who died on the cross to be the sacrifice that would  atone for my sins.

Thank You, Father for Your love that allowed Jesus to suffer and die in my place. Thank You that You raised Jesus from the dead. He is RISEN and is ALIVE and in Him we are victorious over sin, death and the grave and in Christ Jesus I am free.

You raised Jesus from the dead, gave Him a Glorified body and after he was seen by many witnesses on earth You took Him up to reign with You  in heaven.  

Thank you, Father,  for saving me in the name, of Your only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Romans 6:11  

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

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

A SINNER’S PRAYER:   … FOR WHOSOEVER WILL: [For One and all]

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

“Lord Jesus, I’m a lost sinner and without You I am hopeless.  I can’t save myself. Without your death on the cross for my sin debt I would be condemned to spend eternity condemned to Hell. I have been  self-centered 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 guilty and sorry for each and every sin I have done and look to You to forgive me of them all. 
I look to You, alone  Lord Jesus to save me.
I call on You,  Lord Jesus, right now to save me.  You died on the cross for me, because of my sin  and You say,  “It shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21.

 

Right now, just as I am, I call on You, Lord Jesus to save me,  I trust You, to  be my Lord and Savior from now on.
Thank You, Lord Jesus, that You have forgiven me of all my sins.  I ask You to abide in me and give me the desire to always follow You.
You paid the price for all of my sins by dying on the cross.  Even the sins of the whole world.

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

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

 

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. Romans  8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. [Holy Ghost, Comforter, Spirit of Truth]
 

Thank You for saving me heavenly Father. With all my heart, thank you Father for saving me in Jesus’ name,  Amen.


Allow us to share the joy of your new birth with heaven. Won’t you? Heaven rejoices over each redeemed sinner. Luke 15:7

Published Titles written by Spurgeon are included each day in DailySpurgeon.com

 Devotions are:

·       C.H. Spurgeon Prayers

·       Spurgeon’s  Illustrative Anecdotes

·       Faith’s Checkbook

·       Morning & Evening

These titles are from the inspired body of work created from the preaching and writing of Charles Haddon Spurgeon 1834-1892. He created an unexcelled  legacy of gospel preaching and exposition and is known as the “Prince of Preachers”.  Spurgeon has been and is today widely read with great benefit from the 1800’s to this present time. He is the beloved founder of the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London, England (Thriving TODAY through the faithful preaching of the Gospel and the Sacred Worship of Jesus the Christ [Messiah].) 

 

 [Click this link to live-stream current gospel preaching in real time each Sunday from London by Dr. Peter Masters, Metropolitan Tabernacle pastor since 1970.
      

Prayer: Lord Jesus, please be blessed by the winning of many souls, and give us love and compassion toward all who are in need, especially those in the household of faith. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and for His sake, Amen. 

    

      Disclaimer: The John Mark Publishing Company does not praise or exalt  Charles H. Spurgeon above or beyond the honor due him. He didn’t need or want it when he was here on earth and would have no need or desire for it now, in Heaven. Our aim is to lift up and glorify the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and to preach HIM and Him crucified.

 

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

      Written Prayers by Spurgeon must not be offered as a substitute for personal, intimate fervent, heart-felt, prayer. They are rather intended to warm the hearts of those who are seeking a season of authentic two-way, heart-to-heart  fellowship and prayer with the Father, His Son and the Holy Spirit. Go to the book of Romans Chapter 8      

        Preaching  Preparation: Find and compare a sermon by Charles H. Spurgeon from the same scripture(s) of a sermon you may now be preparing.

 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 frequently give greater glory to God when compared to variant readings of all modern translations from Modern Critical Texts based on only 55 hand picked inferior Greek manuscripts fabricated from either Westcott and Hort or Nestle and Aland. Both of these Greek textual sources follow an assumption that OLDER IS BETTER. Of course, this assumption is not valid if the older manuscripts contain error.

 

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 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 and the KJV  is deemed Public Domain. If a new publication changes at least a 10% of an existing  publication a lucrative Copyright can be granted. Therefore  the NKJV and many other copyrighted 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 translated from the superior Greek Textus Receptus as its Primary time tested and self-authenticating Greek text Source.

DEFENDING  THE  KING JAMES BIBLE    by the Millennium Bible Institute

https://youtu.be/RL1px3GRfo4

 

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

__________________________________

 

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

 

The inspired, god breathed, immortal words, were  uttered, word-by-word, to the  holy prophets and apostles who were chosen of God and moved by the holy ghost. These words are protected and preserved in holy scripture and are written word-by-word and are immutable, [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 Authorized (King James) Holy Bible.

 

ל  Lamed

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

 Psalm 119:89


Authorized (King James) Version:

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

 

Authorized (King James) Version:

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

 The complete Inside  Story of Westcott and Hort: 

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


URL:   https://www.febc.edu.sg/v15/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 is present in it. The presence of their work means that it is based on a defective text. Those who want to honor the Word of God must not promote the use of 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, without error 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 would be to Him if His people now chose instead to use versions that are  based on  defective Greek manuscript  created by Westcott & Hort or Nestle & Aland.

 

Let the biblical story of Nadab and Abihu be a lesson for us all:

And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not. And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD. Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace. And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp. So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said. And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD hath kindled” (Lev 10:1–6).
