Happy, happy, happy day! by Spurgeon “Your eyes shall see him.” I have heard of him, and though I have not seen his face, unceasingly I have adored him. But I shall SEE him! Yes, we shall actually gaze upon the exalted Redeemer! Realize the thought! Is there not a ‘young heaven’ within it? You […]
He comes! -Spurgeon, “The Beatific Vision” With clouds of angels, cherubim, seraphim, and all the armies of heaven, He comes! With all the forces of nature– thundercloud, and blackness of tempest, the Lord of all makes his triumphant entrance to judge the world! The clouds are the dust of his feet in that terrible day […]
The Wisdom of the Gospel The gospel is the sum of wisdom; a collection of knowledge; a treasure-house of truth; and a disclosure of mysterious secrets.

Cleopatra’s asp was brought in a basket of flowers; and men’s ruin often […]

Two seeds? Spurgeon, “In the Garden with Him.” #2106. So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, you will be punished… And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed…” Genesis 3:14-15 There are two seeds in the world- the seed of the […]
