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 […]
THE FIRST ACT OF REGENERATION? Coming to Christ is the very first act of regeneration. No sooner is the soul quickened,than it at once discovers it’s lost estate, is horrified thereat,looks for a refuge, and believing Christ to be a suitable one, flies to him and reposes in him. –Spurgeon
“I go to prepare a place for you!” The following is from Spurgeon’s sermon, “Jesus Affirmed to Be Alive” #2016. Acts 25:18-19 That pierced hand has taken hold of eternal bliss on the behalf of those for whom He shed His blood. Jesus is now in Heaven making preparation for our coming. What has to be […]
“Do not be afraid—for I Myself will help you—declares the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.” Isaiah 41:14 This morning, let us hear the Lord Jesus speak to each one of us: “I Myself will help you. It is but a small thing for Me, your God, to help you. Consider what I have done […]
The Robe! From Spurgeon’s, “The Treasure of Grace” God’s children are wrapped around with a robe, a seamless robe, which earth and heaven could not buy the like of it, were it once lost. For texture it excels the fine linen of the merchants; for whiteness it is purer than the driven snow; no looms on earth […]
The love of God! Spurgeon, “The Love of God and the Patience of Christ” “May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God…” 2 Thes. 3:5 Believer, God loves you as much as if there were nobody else in all the world to love! God can pour the infinite love of His heart upon one […]
You might as soon yoke a gnat with an archangel as think of your going in to help Christ save you. To join a filthy rag from off a dunghill with the golden garments of a king or a queen cannot be permitted. Christ will be everything, or else he will be nothing. You must […]
I believe that Christ came into the world not to put men into a salvable state, but into a saved state. Not to put them where they could save themselves, but to do the work in them and for them, from first to last. If I did not believe that there was might going forth […]
Spurgeon, “Christ the Glory of His People” The best sermons are the sermons which are most full of Christ. A sermon without Christ…. it is an awful, a horrible thing; it is an empty well; it is a cloud without rain; it is a tree twice dead, plucked by the roots. It is an abominable […]
