“He said unto them, Let us go into the next towns, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.”
Mark 1:38
Jesus went about doing good. He did not confine His blessings to single localities. He sought to reach as many souls as possible. He did not wait for people to come to Him, [...]

Our Advocate {C.H. Spurgeon}
Posted in Advocate, C.H. Spurgeon, Devotions, Holiness, Isaiah on March 31, 2008 | No Comments »
“He was numbered with the transgressors.”
–Isaiah 53:12
Why did Jesus suffer Himself to be enrolled amongst sinners? This wonderful condescension was justified by many powerful reasons. In such a character He could the better become their advocate. In some trials there is an identification of the counsellor with the client, nor can they be looked upon [...]
Fundamental Facts
Posted in Baptist, Definitions to Make You Think, Faith, Fundamental, Salvation on March 31, 2008 | No Comments »
On a few occasions this past week I have come across articles dealing with, or should I say, condemning, anyone who is a fundamentalist. The well-meaning authors express concern that fundamentalism is a dangerous thing.
We are living amongst terrorist attacks and fanatical interest groups; it’s no wonder “fundamentalism” has become a fearful word. But what is biblical fundamentalist?
According to [...]
The Saviour’s Stripes {C.H. Spurgeon}

“With His stripes we are healed.”
–Isaiah 53:5
Pilate delivered our Lord to the lictors to be scourged. The Roman scourge was a most dreadful instrument of torture. It was made of the sinews of oxen, and sharp bones were inter-twisted every here and there among the sinews; so that every time the lash came down these [...]

…there standeth one among you,

Is your heart burning?

And they said one to another,
Did not our heart burn within us,
while he talked with us by the way,
and while he opened to us the scriptures?
Luke 24:32
Joy and Afflictions {C.H. Spurgeon}
Posted in Affliction, C.H. Spurgeon, Devotions, Grace, James, Job, Joy, Love, Righteousness on March 29, 2008 | No Comments »
One Christian grace to be exercised is joy: Count it all joy, James 1:2. We must not sink into a sad and disconsolate frame of mind, which would make us faint under our trials; but must endeavour to keep our spirits dilated and enlarged, the better to take in a true sense of our case, [...]
Care of Our Feet {C.H. Spurgeon}
Posted in C.H. Spurgeon, Devotions, Faith, I Samuel, Obedience on March 29, 2008 | No Comments »
He will keep the feet of his saints. (1 Samuel 2:9)
The way is slippery and our feet are feeble, but the Lord will keep our feet. If we give ourselves up by obedient faith to be His holy ones, He will Himself be our guardian. Not only will He charge His angels to keep [...]
Not of Us

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels,
that the excellency of the power
may be of God,
and not of us.
2 Corinthians 4:7
Will I Forsake Him? {C.H. Spurgeon}
Posted in C.H. Spurgeon, Devotions, Matthew, Suffering on March 29, 2008 | No Comments »
“Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled.” –Matthew 26:56
He never deserted them, but they in cowardly fear of their lives, fled from Him in the very beginning of His sufferings. This is but one instructive instance of the frailty of all believers if left to themselves; they are but sheep at the best, and [...]
Sowing and Reaping {J.R. Miller}

“One soweth, and another reapeth.” John 4:37
This word of Christ is ofttimes illustrated in its literal sense. Many a man sows a field of wheat, and before the harvest lies in his grave. Many a man plants a tree, and does not live to taste its fruits; others coming after him enjoy the benefit of [...]
Obedience to Christ

So likewise ye,
when ye shall have done all those things
which are commanded you, say,
We are unprofitable servants:
we have done that
which was our duty to do.
Jesus ~ Luke 17:10
