Only ye shall not go very far away." DR SPURGEONS DEVOTIONS. Exodus 8:28 This is a crafty word from the lip of the arch-tyrant Pharaoh. If the poor bondaged Israelites must needs go out of Egypt, then he bargains with them that it shall not be very far away; not too far for them to escape the...

Morning DR SPURGEONS DEVOTIONS. "Art thou become like unto us?" Isaiah 14:10 What must be the apostate professor's doom when his naked soul appears before God? How will he bear that voice, "Depart, ye cursed; thou hast rejected me, and I reject thee; thou hast played the harlot, and departed...

"Get thee up into the high mountain." DR CHARLES SPURGEONS DEVOTIONS. Isaiah 40:9 Our knowledge of Christ is somewhat like climbing one of our Welsh mountains. When you are at the base you see but little: the mountain itself appears to be but one-half as high as it really is. Confined in a...

Morning DR CHARLES SPURGEONS DEVOTIONS "A certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked. But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it." Luke 11:27-28 It is fondly...

TRUE Sir, but I've been to several Catholic funerals where they prayed to the dead. Once we die, our destination is sealed. NOBODY can pray, or buy us into Heaven, or OUT of hell. ALL of the Saints, and Mary too, are dead, they should be praying to JESUS CHRIST instead of dead people.

DR CHARLES SPURGEONS DEVOTIONS. "And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me." Genesis 21:6 It was far above the power of nature, and even contrary to its laws, that the aged Sarah should be honoured with a son; and even so it is beyond all ordinary...

DR CHARLES SPURGEONS DEVOTIONS. "Delight thyself also in the Lord." Psalm 37:4 The teaching of these words must seem very surprising to those who are strangers to vital godliness, but to the sincere believer it is only the inculcation of a recognized truth. The life of the believer is here...

Many years ago when I was growing up, after BRO Sparling retired they hired a new Preacher, very young, married with a baby. Pay was not great so he took another job with the city, 350 people. He was to read the water meters around town, collect overdue bills, and turn water off to those way...

SHITTIM. Thanks, I got it. CHARLIE.

DR CHARLES SPURGEONS DEVOTIONS. "Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely." Revelation 22:17 Jesus says, "take freely." He wants no payment or preparation. He seeks no recommendation from our virtuous emotions. If you have no good feelings, if you be but willing, you are invited...

TRUE story. When I was a pup many years ago I always went to Bible School. Brother Sparling was the Pastor there and Not really known for joking around, I thought. WE were outside at recess drinking our kool ade and eating cookies. I was happily eating a windmill cookie, with a hole in the...

Morning "Thou art weighed in the balances and art found wanting." Daniel 5:27 It is well frequently to weigh ourselves in the scale of God's Word. You will find it a holy exercise to read some psalm of David, and, as you meditate upon each verse, to ask yourself, "Can I say this? Have I felt as...

DR SPURGEONS DEVOTIONS. "We love him because he first loved us." 1 John 4:19 There is no light in the planet but that which proceedeth from the sun; and there is no true love to Jesus in the heart but that which cometh from the Lord Jesus himself. From this overflowing fountain of the infinite...

DR SPURGEONS DEVOTIONS. We live unto the Lord." Romans 14:8 If God had willed it, each of us might have entered heaven at the moment of conversion. It was not absolutely necessary for our preparation for immortality that we should tarry here. It is possible for a man to be taken to heaven, and...

Years ago when my two girls were small, they were taught how to say their blessing before eating their meal. One night as I was busy scurrying around the kitchen, I told them both to stay their blessings without me. I took a moment to watch them as they both squeezed their eyes tightly shut...

DR CHARLES SPURGEONS DEVOTIONS. "The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad." Psalm 126:3 Some Christians are sadly prone to look on the dark side of everything, and to dwell more upon what they have gone through than upon what God has done for them. Ask for their impression...

A while back I read a story of a visiting pastor who attended a men's breakfast in the middle of a rural farming area of the country. The group had asked an ol...der farmer, decked out in bib overalls, to say grace for the morning breakfast. "Lord, I hate buttermilk", the farmer began. The...

UNITAS. Maybe because Christians have been persecuted, attacked, and murdered for thousands of years. We have had to defend ourselves with whatever we had, pitchforks, sycles, swords, spears and arrows, now guns. Guns are a very useful tool and Christians need to be well taught in using them...

DR SPURGEONS DEVOTIONS. "There fell down many slain, because the war was of God." 1 Chronicles 5:22 Warrior, fighting under the banner of the Lord Jesus, observe this verse with holy joy, for as it was in the days of old so is it now, if the war be of God the victory is sure. The sons of...
