Because He loves you… From Spurgeon’s sermon, “CHASTISEMENT” When God afflicts his child, the chastisement is applied in love, and his strokes are, all of them, put there by the hand of love. The rod has been baptized in deep affection before it is laid on the believer’s back. God does not afflict willingly, nor […]
The greatest wonder in heaven, or earth, or even in hell! Spurgeon, “Open House for All Comers” No. 665. But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, “This man welcomes sinners and eats with them.” -Luke 15:2 Jesus receives sinners into his heart’s love! This is the greatest wonder in heaven, or earth, […]
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.

“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’.
