Devotion
Faith And Risk
If any man is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, "From his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water" (John 7:37, 38). The story is told of a prospector in the last century who had to make a four-day journey across a burning […]
Glorifying God
You have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body (1 Corinthians 6:20). If I were asked to determine the spiritual vitality of any religious group using only one criterion, I would evaluate its representative leaders. Are they a group of individuals vying for power, arming themselves with arguments to defend their […]
Heaven (C.H.Spurgeon)
Spurgeon’s Morning & Evening Devotions Morning, August 9 "The city hath no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it." – Revelation 21:23 Yonder in the better world, the inhabitants are independent of all creature comforts. They have no need of raiment; their white robes never wear out, neither shall they […]
Does Prayer Work?
That may sound irreverent but I’m sure you know what I mean. It is a fact of human nature that when people feel threatened they turn to prayer. Yet few persist. Do you remember the story of the small boy who sat on the jetty, dipping his feet into the cool water. Beside him sat […]
Meditation
Spurgeon’s Morning & Evening Devotions Morning, August 15 "Isaac went out to meditate in the field at the eventide." – Genesis 24:63 Very admirable was his occupation. If those who spend so many hours in idle company, light reading, and useless pastimes, could learn wisdom, they would find more profitable society and more interesting engagements […]
Loving Others
If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them (Luke 6:32). For many people, loving others is a nebulous concept. Fortunately, agape love is very clearly defined in the Scriptures. When love is used as a noun in Scripture, it is referring to […]
Living Above Life’s Circumstances
I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am (Philippians 4:11). Some of us tend to assume that it is God’s will if the circumstances are favorable and it isn’t God’s will if the circumstances are unfavorable. Next to the Bible, I would guess that more Christians are "guided" by this means than […]
Passion For God [2]
“I conceived a mighty desire to receive three wounds in my life; that is to say, the wound of very contrition, the wound of kinde compassion, and the wound of willfull longing to God -” Julian of Norwich, II (Sent to all – 12/8/98 Week 2) In her third request, Julian goes further and also […]
Reprogramming Your Mind
Gird your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 1:13). Since we came into this world physically alive but spiritually dead, we had neither the presence of God in our lives nor the knowledge of […]
Everlasting Consolation
(C.H.Spurgeon) – 2 Thessalonians 2:16 "Consolation." There is music in the word: like David’s harp, it charms away the evil spirit of melancholy. It was a distinguished honour to Barnabas to be called "the son of consolation"; nay, it is one of the illustrious names of a greater than Barnabas, for the Lord Jesus is […]
