DEVOTION for March 27th *A.D. 2026.

Written and calendared for this exact date by Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892)

_____________________________________________________________                                                                    

* Does it matter whether the Traditional  abbreviations  B.C. or A.D.
or the New Age inventions of  B.C.E. or C.E. is used to fully describe Calendar dates?

Yes, it does. Significantly,  without question!

 

B.C. or A.D. are the traditional abbreviations that stand for “Before Christ” and “Anno Domani” [Year of our Lord] A.D. Does NOT mean “After Death” as many erroneously have been taught.

 

B.C.E. or C.E are New Age inventions that stand for “Before Common Era” or “Common Era”. [These inventions are effort to eliminate the person of Jesus Christ, and to write Him out of History, altogether by not mentioning HIS NAME, at all].
__________________________________________

The Lord Jesus Christ  [Anointed Messiah and King] was supernaturally Fathered by GOD The  Holy Ghost,  born of a virgin girl, named Mary,  2026 years ago in Bethlehem of Judea.    

 

He was crucified, His lifeless body placed in a tomb and after three days, GOD  brought Him back to life again, victorious over sin, death and the grave.
He is GOD’S INCARNATE WORD and EVERLASTING SACRIFICE,
The Lamb of God, God’s WORD [The WORD of GOD  in Human  flesh.]  The Church is the Body of Christ, (The Anointed  Messiah and King). She is His espoused [Divinely promised]  Bride, for whom HE will come again to Wed.

 

This singular event of the birth of Jesus Christ both defines and establishes the Calendar dates in all of Human History as being either Before or After His Birth.     

 

John 1:1: 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the  WORD was GOD. [AS His WORD is ETERNAL and IMMUTABLE it IS and  WAS and  FOREVER FOR EVER MORE shall be]   Jesus Christ is GOD’s [incarnate] WORD, Made Flesh and He is ONE with the FATHER.    

 

I and my Father are One.   John 10:30

The Indestructible Book   [GOD’s HOLY WORDS]
By Dr. David Brown

The WORDS of the 1769 Edition of The King James Bible, KJV were and are,  for all time, Divinely Inspired, Inerrant, Infallible and Providentially Preserved and Protected Words of GOD.
 

They are God-Breathed, [Spoken] Eternal WORDS of 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  The fundamental scripture for the doctrine and the 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 works of the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ or has been Removed entirely in all Critical Text Translations by apostates that hold the untenable goal to support  False Doctrine that gives rise to all manner of Cults, False Doctrines, False Teaching and Heresies brought forward by 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 [Living Water 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
(* Anointed Messiah)].

 

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

Defense of I John 5:7

By Dr. Phil Stringer

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

 

Daniel Webster [Writer of the Webster’s Dictionary] was once asked. “Does it not bother you 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.”

A SINNER'S PRAYER March 27th

________________________________________

 

PRAYER 13, March 27th Part 8 of 11THE WINGS OF PRAYER.

Dear Savior, we are Thy disciples, and Thou art [are] teaching us the art of living; but we are very dull and very slow, and besides, there is such a bias [preference with no logical support] in our corrupt nature, and there are such examples in the world, and the influence of an ungodly generation tells [exposes] even upon those that know Thee. O, dear Savior, be not impatient with us, but still school [teach] us at Thy feet, till at last we shall have learned some of the sublime lessons of self-sacrifice, of meekness, humility, fervor, [vigor] boldness, and love which Thy life is fit [perfectly matched] to teach us.

O Lord, we beseech [implore] Thee mold us into Thine own image. Let us live in Thee and live like Thee. Let us gaze upon Thy glory till we are transformed by the sight, and become Christ-like among the sons of men.

[I pray this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ Amen.]

ANECDOTE 236: March 27th PERSONAL APPLICATION OF TRUTH.

A minister once sent his deacon to attend a certain anniversary service. The discourse turned upon [was about] Diotrephes, who loved the preeminence. The deacon’s character was aptly described. He did not, however, agree with the preacher. He was himself a Diotrephes, though he failed to detect his own portrait [bias of his own preeminence in himself]; or at least, with apparent indifference, he asked a friend of his if he supposed there were such persons existing as those who had been described in the discourse ?

“I cannot think,” said he, “who the preacher could have been aiming at?”

 

So his friend said, 

 

“Well, I think he must have been intending you and me.”

 

No better answer could have been given. I like each hearer to make the application to himself. ________________________________________

 

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK March 27th DRAWING NEAR TO GOD

-Draw nigh [come near] to God, and he will draw nigh [come near] to you- James 4:8

-Allegaos a Dios, y el se allegará a vosotros- Santiago 4:8

 

The nearer we come to God, the more graciously will He reveal Himself to us. When the prodigal [rebellious and wayward child] comes to their father, their father runs to meet them.

 

When the wandering dove returns to the ark, Noah puts out his hand to pull her in unto him.

When the tender wife seeks her husband’s society [desires to be with him],

 

he comes to her on wings of love. Come then, dear friend, let us draw nigh to God who so graciously awaits us, yea, [yes, even] comes to meet us.

 

Did you ever notice that passage in Isaiah 58:9?

There the Lord seems to put Himself at the disposal of His people, saying to them,

 

 -Here I am.-

 

 As much as to say -What have you to say to me? What can I do for you? I am waiting to bless you.- How can we hesitate to draw [come] near?

 

God is nigh [near] to forgive, to bless, to comfort, to help, to quicken [enliven], to deliver. Let it be the main point with us to get near to God.

 

This done, all is done.

 

If we draw [come] near to others, they may before long grow weary of us and leave us; but

 

if we seek the Lord alone, no change will come over His mind, but He will continue to come nearer and yet nearer to us by fuller and more joyful fellowship.

 

Prayer: Thank you, Lord, that when I come near to You, You will come near to me and I’m so glad that you never get tired of me being with You or Your being with me in your name, Lord Jesus, I pray, Amen.

MORNING March 27th  "THEN ALL THE DISCIPLES FORSOOK [ABANDONED] HIM AND FLED [RAN AWAY]." — Matthew 26:56

 

—Entonces todos los discípulos huyeron, dejándole.— Mateo 26:56

 

HE never deserted them, but they, in cowardly fear of their lives, fled from Him in the very beginning of His sufferings.

This is but one instructive instance of the frailty [weakness] of all believers if left to themselves; they [we] are but sheep at the best, and they [we] flee when the wolf comes. They had all been warned of the danger and had promised to die rather than leave their Master. Yet they were seized with sudden panic, and took to their heels [ran away].

 

It may be, that I, at the opening of this day, have braced up my mind to bear a trial for the Lord's sake, and I imagine myself to be certain to exhibit perfect fidelity; but let me watch out, lest having the same evil heart of unbelief, I should depart from my Lord as the apostles did.

 

It is one thing to promise, and quite another to perform.

 

It would have been to their eternal honor to have stood at Jesus' side right manfully [courageously].

They fled from honor; may I be kept from imitating them!

Where else could they have been so safe as near their Master, who could presently [right then]  call for twelve legions of angels? They fled from their true safety.

 

O God, let me not play the fool also.

 

Divine grace can make the coward brave.

 

The smoking flax can flame forth like fire on the altar when the Lord wills it. These very apostles who were timid as hares [rabbits],

 

grew to be bold as lions after the Spirit had descended on them, and even so the Holy Spirit can make my cowardly spirit brave to confess my Lord and witness for His truth.

 

What anguish must have filled the Savior as He saw His friends so faithless! This was one bitter ingredient in His cup; but that cup is drained dry; let me not put another drop in it. If I forsake my Lord, I would crucify Him afresh, and put Him to an open shame.

 

Keep me, O blessed Spirit, from an end so shameful.

EVENING March 27th

"And she said, TRUTH, LORD: YET THE DOGS EAT OF THE CRUMBS WHICH FALL FROM THEIR MASTERS' TABLE."

—Matthew 15:27

 

—Y ella dijo: Sí, Señor; mas los perrillos comen de las migajas que caen de la mesa

de sus señores — Mateo 15:27

 

THIS woman gained comfort in her misery by thinking great thoughts of Christ.

 

The Master had talked about the children's bread:

"Now," argued she, "since You are the Master of the table of grace, I know that You are a generous housekeeper, and there is sure to be abundance of bread on Your table. There will be such an abundance for the children that there will be crumbs to throw on the floor for the dogs, and the children will not fare any worse because the dogs are fed."

 

She thought Him one who kept so good a table that all that she needed would only be a crumb in comparison; yet remember, what she wanted was to have the devil cast out of her daughter. It was a very great thing to her, but she had such a high esteem of Christ, that she said,

 

"It is nothing to Him, it is but a crumb for Christ to give."

 

This is the royal road to comfort. Great thoughts of your sin alone will drive you to despair; but

great thoughts of Christ will pilot [guide] you into the haven of peace.

 

"My sins are many, but it is nothing to Jesus to take them all away. The weight of my guilt presses me down as a giant's foot would crush a worm, but it is no more than a grain of dust to Him, because He has already borne its curse in His own body on the tree [cross]. It will be but a small thing for Him to give me full remission, although it will be an infinite blessing for me to receive it."

The woman opened her soul's mouth very wide, expecting great things of Jesus, and He filled it with His love.

 

Dear reader, do the same.

 

She confessed what Christ laid at her door, but she laid fast hold upon Him [held Him tight], and drew arguments even out of His hard words. She believed great things of Him, and she thus overcame Him.

She won the victory by believing in Him. Her case is an instance of prevailing faith; and if we would conquer like her, we must imitate her tactics [actions]. 

All  Versions and Editions of Bibles that are NOT  translated from the Traditional  Text [AKA the Received Text (Latin:Textus Receptus) TR or The Byzantine Text]  contain variant  readings that diminish the person and works of Jesus Christ. All  Glory belongs to The Almighty GOD.  He has preserved and protected  HIS WORD as immutable [incapability of any mutation or any change] in the 1769 Edition of the 1611 King James Version  [KJV] Bible Also known as the Authorized Version AV.  ALL GLORY,  LOVE, HONOR AND RESPECT  is due and must be given to the Omnipotent [Almighty], Omniscient [All-knowing], Omnipresent and Infinitely Holy GOD.

Over 5,321 hand written Greek Manuscripts known as the Majority Text support  the Traditional Text AKA The [Latin: Textus Receptus] and demonstrate 99% of the manuscripts in agreement.

 

Additionally, Translational Evidence from Jerome’s Latin Vulgate establishes evidence as to  the  authenticity of The Traditional Text as well as proof that it pre dates the “Translation ERROR” that purportedly occurred  previously. The Traditional Text was first used in the First Christian Church at Antioch.

A person comes to Jesus by  believing and (whole heartedly) praying like this:

 

 “Lord Jesus, I’m a sinner. I’m lost and hopeless without You.  I will never be able to save myself by my own merits. Without you and your death on the cross I would deserve and spend forever in Hell.

I know that me doing my best or being good (in my own opinion)  and justifying my own behavior as "good"  or "OK" will never  save me.
I look to You, alone  Lord Jesus to save me. 
I come to You   right now.  Lord Jesus.   Please save me.  I believe You died on the cross in my place to pay for my sin debt and put to death my sin nature. I know  You always keep your word.  Please save me. You say and  it’s written in the Bible that you won’t reject anyone who comes to You. I'm coming  to You now. Thank You for saving me.
I  give myself (all of myself) to You, Lord Jesus. I declare that You are my Savior and Lord. I’m sorry for and I turn away from  every sin (every bad thought, every bad word I have spoken and every bad thing I have ever done)  and look to You free me from the penalty of sin, to keep me free from the power of sin and empower me overcome any temptation from sin’s  presence.  Thank you for forgiving  all of  my sins by dying on the cross to pay the punishment that I deserve.  (I was a sinner by nature and by behavior). But now I'm washed clean by Your blood that was shed [poured out] for me at Calvary [at the cross].

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

Thank you Father that You have made a way for me to see myself as ungodly.  But,  because You are good You have made a way and given me the desire to come to You, to turn away from my sin and to trust in the Lord Jesus.  You have forgiven me because He took my place and You have provided for  me to be born again [born from above, born of the Holy Spirit].  
You prompted this desire and faith to believe in Your only begotten Son who,gave up  His life and died on the cross to pay my sin debt, not mine alone, but the sins of the whole world. 

Thank You, Heavenly Father that you raised Jesus from the dead. He is ALIVE and in Him we are victorious over sin, death and the grave and in Christ Jesus there is no condemnation. After You raised Him from the dead You gave Him a Glorified, [everlasting] physical body and  after he was seen by many witnesses on earth You took Him up to reign with  You  in heaven. 

 

 I pray this in the name, of Your only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ with a grateful heart.   Thank You for saving me heavenly Father and for sending the Comforter, The Spirit of Truth, for my guidance and solemn instruction into all truth.,  Amen.”

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

Thank you that you, Holy Spirit,  always exalt [lift up] the Lord Jesus.  John 16:8-11

 

With all my heart, I thank you Lord Jesus for saving me. 
I ask now that You live Your life through me in Your name, Lord Jesus I pray, Amen.

 

 

Please allow us to celebrate with you and with the angels in heaven at the news of your new birth.   Please write to:

… and pray for souls to be saved and believers to be strengthened

The Lord … is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.  2 Peter 3:9

Pray also that believers will be led…                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           by the Holy Spirit to rightly divide and proclaim God’s Word providentially protected and preserved by God, Himself.

 

John 3:16:   

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

 

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 His WORD. All of His Word is inspired, [God-breathed], self-authenticating, immutable [unchanging and unchangeable], eternal, inerrant, infallible, infinite and all-powerful [omnipotent] Word.

 

 MISSION PURPOSE:         
 

We aim to be fully devoted followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. We trust the Holy Spirit to impart God’s  divine revelation to us from His Word, the Holy Bible.  We trust that many who are lost will be saved, that believers will be comforted, strengthened and encouraged as we are being conformed to the image of the Lord Jesus Christ; all, to God’s glory.

Divine Scripture is God’s infinite, eternal, inerrant, infallible, immutable revelation to all mankind.  Herein, all revealed truth is given to the world. It is God-breathed [inspired] , self-authenticating [compare scripture to scripture]  and providentially protected and will endure, immutable, forever.  We purpose, therefore, with God enabling, to rightly divide and follow The Holy Bible in all things.  Personal guidance in Holiness and all divine revelation to His Church body are through God’s Holy Word, the Bible.

Hence, we resolve, God helping us, to pray, read, study, meditate-on, trust-in  and obey God’s revealed and divinely preserved Word,  holding it to be the final authority and legal precedent in all things as the divinely established Stare Decisis [Latin: to stand by that which is decided].

Therefore, the purpose of The John Mark Publishing Company is to publish and proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every creature, ministering God’s love to all, especially those in the household of faith.  The Bible is God’s everlasting, inspired, (God breathed) inerrant, infallible, unchangeable, divinely protected and preserved Word of love and salvation to the entire world forever settled in heaven.

 

It is also the essence and  foundation of this ministry as we aim to encourage a fully devoted discipleship demonstrating  devotional vigor.
 

History: The preaching, teaching and writing  of Charles Haddon Spurgeon, continues to reveal God’s love through His WORD, rightly divided and conforming to all doctrines of Biblical Christianity.  His work continues to benefit, bless and challenge readers through authentic Gospel preaching and sound biblical teaching. The Lord’s ministry through Charles Spurgeon  continues to flourish from  (Spurgeon’s)  Metropolitan Tabernacle,   (Brief History)

This Website is shared with the hope that growth in personal devotions and the edification of the church as well as fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ will be encouraged.  We desire that the written Word of God will be the Living  Word in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ to each and every reader.

To this end,  DailySpurgeon.com is offered to hear Gospel preaching and engage in daily devotions,  Bible study, meditation, prayer, and the singing of Sacred  Praise and Worship music to The Lord Jesus Christ.

 

Adherence to Spurgeon’s calendared dates and original, unabridged text is carefully transmitted.
_________________________________________________

Alterations to and alternative readings in Biblical Text were brought about by the Critical Greek Text of Westcott & Hort and was used to translate the: NIV, ESV, RSV and other Modern Language Translations. These Greek translations came from the Greek Codices Vaticanus and Sinaiticus.  90% is from Vaticanus and 8-9% from Sinaiticus  and were the principle source Texts used by Westcott and Hort to invent their Critical Greek Text. There are  more disagreements than there are agreements between these two Codices.

 

17 verses are deleted out of the New Testament in the Critical Text. 7,000 words are deleted.

Codices Sinaiticus  and Vaticanus are counterfeits that were  overwritten in the 10th 11th and  completely overwritten in the 15th centuries. There are more points of disagreement than there are points of agreement between them.

The Geneva Bible was also translated from the Traditional Greek Text, The Textus Receptus [The 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 [The 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]

 

There is also translational evidence from Jerome’s Latin Vulgate that establishes The Traditional Greek Text as both the OLDEST and the BEST. [Unlike the Counterfeit proofs  offered with The Critical Test].

Can the Website  DAILYSPURGEON  be trusted? Is it trustworthy?
Is it of God?
YES, it can!    Yes, it is!     Here’s why.

1 John 4:1-3
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 confess,  that Jesus Christ is come  [is here]  in the flesh.

[All translations of the Bible that use  Greek translations other than the Traditional AKA the faithful Textus Receptus do not have the Greek word “ictin”.  This word  means “is” in English] and  its exclusion causes the meaning of its translation, “is here” to change to “has” come.

This mistake 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 made void.

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

 Ephesians 5:30-32
For we are members of his 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 [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 hereNot “Has come”] in the flesh.

Which Bible Is The Best?  (57 minutes) David Hocking

David’s Summary  (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

THE  WORDS of GOD Are :
 

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.]
 

Divinely Protected and Providentially 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] (Note Plural), O Lord, thou shalt preserve them [Thy Words] from this generation for ever. (KJV).

 

Isaiah 40:8: 8 The grass withereth, [withers] the flower fadeth [fades] :but the word of our God shall stand for ever. (KJV).

 

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. (KJV).

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.  (KJV).

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.  (KJV).

 

Psalm 119:89:  89 For ever, [sic] O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven, Psalm 119:89).  (KJV).

 

The Authorized King James Version (AKJV)  also known as The King James Version, Edition of 1769 (KJV), The Authorized Version (AV) and The Geneva Bible are faithful Translations from the preeminent, [surpassing all others],  Traditional Greek Text which predates the name given to the  Textus Receptus [The Received Text] TR, and is superior to all modern Critical Text translations rendered from inferiorGreek Sources that include: (Westcott & Hort, Nestle & 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.
_____________________________________________________

 

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.

(KJV) The Authorized Version AV 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 Legal Term in Latin that establishes the principle of “Legal Precedence”. It means to stand by things decided, and  to uphold all things God-Breathed [Inspired] and therefore eternally, Divinely and immutably decided FOREVER]

 

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

 

1 John 4:1-3

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.

 

Ephesians 5:30-32

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

Why Have Traditional  Sacred Hymns Endured for Such a Long aTime? 
 

Because God preserves and protects His Word. The lyrics in Sacred hymns are divinely God breathed [Inspired and Spoken by God] words and are therefore infinite, immutable and eternal.

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.

  DailySpurgeon.com

 

This Website can not replace nor can it be a substitute for the in-person, personal assembling of ourselves together as is the manner of some.  Hebrews 10:23-27  

 

Rather, its 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 and worship  of the Lord Jesus as we are predestined to be 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.

 

Warning: Online streaming cannot 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,

1 Thessalonians 5:26.

 

 

We give thanks to the Lord, for the  Website DailySpurgeon.com  and pray that it will continue to be an instrumentality of The Lord Jesus to build up fully devoted followers of the Lord Jesus Christ [Anointed Messiah] .  These followers will be taught to be disciples themselves and will then teach others to be disciples.

We pray that you will also be a radiant messenger of God to share the good news of Jesus Christ with every one, encouraging them to believe in Christ Jesus and 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.

 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 of Jon’s Favorites:

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.

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?)
