MISSION STATEMENT and SINNER’S PRAYER:
CONTENTS:
SERMON: The Christian Commitment Philippians 4:8-9 from Spurgeon’s Metropolitan Tabernacle (London) with Dr. Peter Masters
Here are the matters which should occupy the minds and plans of believers. 'Whatsoever things are true' refers to the spiritual realities which should be our chief concern, unless we are becoming pliable, indifferent and ambivalent concerning the service and standards of the Lord.
PRAISE: O Be Carefull Little Eyes What You See with the Cedarmont Kids…be filled with the Spirit; speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody [music] in your heart to the Lord; Ephesians 5:18-19
PRAYER 12. Part 7 of 10
ON HOLY GROUND.
We pray today also that Thy truth may prevail against the many Antichrists that have gone forth against it. Our Father, restore a pure language to Thy Zion once again.
Take away, we pray Thee, the itching for new doctrine, the longing for that which is thought to be scientific and wise above what is written, and may Thy Church come to her moorings [secure foundation], may she cast anchor in the truth of God and there abide [remain] ; and if it be Thy will may we live to see brighter and better times. If it might be so we would pray for the coming of our Lord very speedily to end these sluggish [unenergetic] years, these long delaying days. But, if He come not [if He doesn’t come], yet put power into Thy truth and quicken [enliven] Thy Church that she may become energetic for the spread of it, [Thy Truth] that so Thy kingdom may come.
[In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ] Amen.

ANECDOTE 228 Salvation Only Through The Lord Jesus Christ.
The sinner in his natural estate reminds me of a man who has a strong and well-nigh impenetrable castle into which he has fled [run]. There is the outer moat; there is a second moat; there are the high walls; and then afterward there is the dungeon and keep, into which the sinner will retire.
Now, the first moat that goes round the sinner’s trusting place is his good works. “Ah !” he says,” I am as good as my neighbor; twenty shillings in the pound down, ready money, I have always paid [my debts] ; I am no sinner ; I tithe mint and cumin [give 10% to the Church from my increase of everything, even spices]; a good respectable gentleman I am indeed.”
Well, when God comes to work with him, to save him, he sends his army across the first moat; and as they go through it, they cry [shout] , “Salvation is of the Lord ;” and the moat is dried up, for if it be of the Lord, how can it be of good works ?
But when that is done, he has a second intrenchment ceremonies. “Well,” he says, “I will not trust in my good works, but I have been baptized, I have been confirmed; do not I take the sacrament [communion, the Lord’s Supper] ? That shall be my trust.”
Over the moat ! Over the moat!
And the soldiers go over again, shouting, “Salvation is of the Lord.” The second moat is dried up; it is all over with that.
Now they come to the next strong wall; the sinner, looking over it, says, “I can repent, I can believe, whenever I like; I will save myself by repenting and believing.”
Up come the soldiers of God, his great army of conviction, and they batter this wall to the ground, crying,
“Salvation is of the Lord”. Your faith and your repentance must all be given you, or else you will neither believe nor repent of sin.”
And now the castle is taken; the man’s hopes are all cut off; he feels that it is not of self; the castle of self is overcome, and the great banner upon which is written “Salvation is of the Lord ”is displayed upon the battlements.
But is the battle over? O no; the sinner has retired to the keep [the strongest and securest part of a medieval castle], in the center of the castle; and now he changes his tactics.
“I cannot save myself,” says he, “therefore I will despair; there is no salvation for me.” Now this second castle is as hard to take as the first, for the sinner sits down and says, “I can’t be saved, I must perish.”
But God commands the soldiers to take this castle, too, shouting, “Salvation is of the Lord”; “though it is not of man, it is of God;” he is able to save, even to the utter most,” though you can not save yourself.
This sword, you see, cuts two ways; it cuts pride down, and then it cleaves [splits-open] the skull of despair.
If any man say he can save himself, it halveth [halves] his pride at once; and if another man say he cannot be saved, it dasheth [throws] his despair to the earth, for it affirms that he can be saved, seeing,
“Salvation is of the Lord.” That is the effect this doctrine has upon the sinner:
may it have that effect on you!
FAITH’S CHECKBOOK March 16 TO OTHERS AN –ENSAMPLE- [PATTERN] C.H. Spurgeon
-Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you- Philippians 4:9
Lo que aprendisteis y recibisteis y oisteis y visteis en mi, esto haced; y el Dios de paz será con vosotros— Filipenses 4:9
It is well when a man can with advantage be so minutely [precicely] copied as Paul might have been. Oh, for grace to imitate him this day and every day!
Should we, through divine grace, carry into practice the Pauline teaching [Given by apostolic authority through Paul], we may claim the promise which is now open before us; and what a promise it is! God, who loves peace, makes peace, and breathes peace, will be with us. -Peace be with you- is a sweet benediction; but for the God of peace to be with us is far more. Thus, we have the fountain as well as the streams, the sun as well as his beams.
If the God of peace be with us, we shall enjoy the peace of God which passeth [passes] all understanding, even though outward circumstances should threaten to disturb.
If men quarrel, we shall be sure to be peacemakers, if the Maker of peace be with us. It is in the way of truth that real peace is found. If we quit the faith or leave the path of righteousness under the notion of promoting peace, we shall be greatly mistaken.
First pure, then peaceable, is the order of wisdom and of fact. Let us keep to Paul’s line, [teaching] and we shall have the God of peace with us as He was with the apostle.
Prayer: Please help us, Lord to do Those things, which we have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in Paul so that the God of peace, You Lord, will be with us as Paul says, in the name of the Lord Jesus, Amen.
MORNING March 16
"I am a stranger [Pilgrim] with thee [Lord].” —Psalm 39:12
¾Porque peregrino soy para contigo, — Salmos 39:12
YES, O Lord with You, but not to You. All my natural alienation [stand-offish-ness] from You, Your grace has effectually removed; and now, in fellowship with you, I walk through this sinful world as a pilgrim in a foreign country.
You are a stranger in Your own world. Man forgets You, dishonors You, sets up new laws and alien customs, and does not know You. When Your dear Son came to His own [people], His own received Him not [didn’t accept Him]. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not [didn’t know Him]. Never was [a] foreigner so speckled a bird among the denizens [indigenous] of any land as Your beloved Son among His mother's brethren [His relatives].
It is no marvel, then, if I who live the life of Jesus, should be unknown and a stranger here below. Lord, I would not be a citizen where Jesus was an alien. His pierced hand has loosened the cords which once bound my soul to earth, and now I find myself a stranger in the land.
My speech seems an outlandish tongue to these Babylonians [Babblers] among whom I dwell. My manners are singular [with oneness of purpose], and my actions are strange [odd to the world]. A Tartar [high-born] would be more at home in Cheapside than I could ever be in the haunts [digs, lodgings] of sinners.
But here is the sweetness of my lot: I am a stranger with You. You are my fellow sufferer, my fellow pilgrim. Oh, what joy to wander in such blessed society! My heart burns within me by the way when You speak to me, and though I am a sojourner, I am far more blest than those who sit on thrones, and far more at home than those who dwell in their ceiled houses.
To me remains nor place, nor time:
My country is in every clime;
I can be calm and free from care
On any shore, since God is there.
While place we seek, or place we shun,
The soul finds happiness in none:
But with a God to guide our way,
Tis [it’s] equal joy to go or stay.
EVENING March 16
"Keep back Thy servant also from presumptuous sins." —Psalm 19:13
¾Detén asimismo á tu siervo de las soberbias; Que no se enseñoreen de mí. —Salmos 19:13
SUCH was the prayer of the "man after God's own heart." Did holy David need to pray thus? How needful, then, must such a prayer be for us babes in grace! It is as if he said, "Keep me back, or I shall rush headlong over the precipice of sin."
Our evil nature, like an ill-tempered horse, is apt to run away. May the grace of God put the bridle upon it and hold it in, that it rush not into mischief [wrong doing]. What might not the best of us do if it were not for the checks [divine limits] which the Lord sets on us in both providence and in grace! The psalmist's prayer is directed against the worst form of sin—that which is done with deliberation and willfulness. Even the holiest need to be "kept back" from the vilest transgressions. It is a solemn thing to find the apostle Paul warning saints against the most loathsome sins. "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence [lust], and covetousness, which is idolatry."
What! Do saints want [lack] warning against such sins as these? Yes, they do. The whitest robes, unless their purity be preserved by divine grace, will be defiled by the blackest spots.
Experienced Christian, boast not in your experience; you will trip yet, if you look away from Him who is able to keep you from falling. You whose love is fervent, whose faith is constant, whose hopes are bright, say not, "We shall never sin," but rather cry,
"Lead us not into temptation."
There is enough tinder [flammable material] in the heart of the best of men to light a fire that shall burn to the lowest hell, unless God shall quench the sparks as they fall.
Who would have dreamed that righteous Lot could be found drunken, and committing uncleanness?
Hazael said,
"Is Thy servant a dog, that he should do this thing?"
and we are very apt to use the same self-righteous question.
May infinite wisdom cure us of the madness [insanity] of self-reliance. ________________________________________
A SINNER’S PRAYER: … FOR WHOSOEVER: [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

You too can cast your cares on the Lord…
Call on Him. As for me, I will call upon God; and the Lord shall save me.. ...Psalm 55:16
Trust Him. Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass ... Psalm 37:5
Come to Him. Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.. Matthew 11:28
Give Him the burden. Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:22]

The Published Titles from Spurgeon that are included exclusively each day in the Devotion are:
· C.H. Spurgeon Prayers
· Spurgeon’s Illustrative Anecdotes
· Faith’s Checkbook
· Morning & Evening
These titles are selected from the inspired body of work created from the preaching and writing of Charles Haddon Spurgeon 1834-1892. He created an excellent 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 (Still thriving TODAY through the faithful preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.) [Click 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 bless Your disciples toward the winning of many souls, and help us to be loving and compassionate toward all who are in need, especially those in the household of faith. I pray this 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 beyond the honor due him. He didn’t need or want it when he was on earth and would have no need or desire for it now. Our aim is to lift up and glorify the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and to preach HIM and Him crucified.
Precaution: These Messages and prayers alone will not substitute for continual fellowship with the Lord Jesus. Neither do they replace personal reading, meditation, prayer and fasting over God's divinely preserved and eternal Word. (The King James version (KJV), known also as the Authorized Version (AV), is the preferred English Bible because its accuracy and fidelity to the Greek Textus Receptus [received text] and the Hebrew Masoretic Text) avoid doctrinal and editorial weaknesses found in many contemporary editions.
Prayer Selection by Spurgeon must not be offered as a substitute for personal, intimate fervent, heart-felt, prayer. It is intended rather, to warm the hearts of those who are in prayer seeking a season of authentic two-way, heart-to-heart fellowship and prayer with the Father, His Son and the Holy Spirit. Read from the NT Book of Romans Chapter 8.

The above link is to search for specific words or Scripture references in the King James Bible (KJV) inerrant and infallible English Bible because it is providentially protected and preserved by GOD Himself through the only translation into English by faithful brethren from the established majority text MT from which the Greek Textus Receptus [received text] manuscripts of the New Testament 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 inferior Greek manuscripts.
The established majority manuscripts avoid doctrinal error, inaccuracies in translation, uninspired editorial notations, variant or ambiguous readings 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.

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 evil in itself, but because the attitude of being contented to use a blemished version rather than an existing unblemished one, dishonors God. If God has taken the trouble to preserve 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 change over to a version that is based on a defective text.
Let the biblical story of Nadab and Abihu be a lesson to 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).
