Have you seen Jesus lately? “But they did not know who He was.” Luke 24:16 (Charles Spurgeon) The disciples ought to have recognized Jesus, they had heard His voice so often, and gazed upon that marred face so frequently, that it is amazing that they did not know Him. Yet is it not so with you also? Have you seen […]
ENDLESS ADORATION! The vista of a praiseful life will never close, but continue throughout eternity. From psalm to psalm, from hallelujah to hallelujah, we will ascend the hill of the Lord; until we come into the Holiest of all, where, with veiled faces, we will bow before the Divine Majesty in the bliss of endless adoration! […]
“Come unto Me!” Matthew 11:28 The cry of the Christian Religion is the gentle word, “Come.” The Jewish LAW harshly said, “Go, take heed unto your steps as to the path in which you shall walk. Break the commandments, and you shall perish; keep them, and you shall live.” The LAW was a dispensation of terror, […]
“Sovereign Grace Hated by the Modern Religionist” By C H Spurgeon If anything is hated bitterly, it is the out-and-out gospel of the grace of God, especially if that hateful word “sovereignty” is mentioned with it. Dare to say “He will have mercy on whom he will have mercy, and he will have compassion on […]
Why did Jesus come? His master-purpose… Spurgeon, “Christ’s Incarnation, the Foundation of Christianity” Let us gather with grateful boldness around the Infant in the manger, and behold our God! The Great Object of Our Lord’s Coming Here Was Not to Live, but to Die. He appeared, not so much to subdue sin by His teaching, […]
Are you hungry? from Spurgeon’s sermon, “BREAD FOR THE HUNGRY” We should come to hear the Word, like baby birds in the nest– when the mother-bird comes with the worm, they are all stretching their necks to see which one shall get the food, for they are all hungry and want it. And so should hearers be ready to […]
The Life Giver You may take a corpse, you may dress it in all the garments of eternal decency; you may wash it with the water of morality; yes, you may adorn it with the crown of profession, you may put on its forehead a tiara of beauty, you may paint its cheeks, until you […]
THE LORD’S JEWELS by Spurgeon- Goldsmiths make exquisite forms from ‘precious materials’. They fashion the bracelet and the ring from gold. But God makes His precious things out of ‘base materials’. From the black pebbles of the defiling brooks He has taken up stones which He has set in the golden ring of His immutable […]
The “illuminated” Bible? You may read the Bible continuously and yet never learn anything by it, unless it is illuminated by the Spirit. Then the words shine forth like stars. Then the book seems made of gold leaf; every single letter glitters like a diamond. Oh! it is a blessed thing to read an “illuminated Bible” […]
Stuffed Christians? Spurgeon’s, “Life’s Ever Springing Well” “We are all Christians.” “Why, we belong to a Christian nation; are we not born Christians?” “Surely we must be all right; we have always attended our parish church, is not that enough?” “Our parents were always godly; we were born into the church, were we not? Did […]
