What Power, What Love, What Immutability!
Choice Devotions from Charles Haddon Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" and "Morning and Evening" Devotionals. In the experience of practical Christianity it is so easy for dear saints, as they tread the "narrow way", to fall in many episodes of doubt in the promises given us in Christ Jesus. Many a moment I find myself questioning the omniscient mind of God in futility, asking "Why God? Where are you in this moment?" And yet unfailingly I am reminded again ...

To Have No Delight But the Lord!
I count it no less than Christian perfection to have God be the source and target of all our affections; in that we draw our joy, our satisfaction, our peace, our delight from Him alone, and the only reason why these affections have even the slightest weight of glory in them is because it is directed to Him who is infinitely valuable! Him, the God of the ages, ever sufficient in times of peace and ever ...

Sovereign Omniscience Would Bother to Care for Me?
What is the proper response and activity that must be done in our first waking moment in a new day? What should be the proper response in remembering that while we were yet asleep, while we were yet in non-existence, nay, while we were yet in our misery and in our abominable wickedness, we were already endeared in the heart of God? This morning our desires go forth for growth in our acquaintance with the Lord ...

To Have No Wish, No Thought, No Desire, But Christ
It has been quite a number of days sine I last posted something. I sincerely apologize. I went through days of physical fatigue, some days of emotional tiredness and others of spiritual dryness. I am sure, reader, that you too have gone through such cycles. Through this little post, would you let me invoke yet again our affections to that which is infinitely Sufficient? Again, these are from Charles Spurgeon's little devotional called "Daily Help" of which ...

Trusting Him. It is by Faith not Emotions and Feelings.
Reading C. H. Spurgeon's two small devotions "Daily Help" and "Faith's Checkbook" I felt that sharing today's entries from both would be a good thing and here I pray that the Lord might be pleased to use them to bless others more than it did me. The first piece is from Spurgeon's "Daily Help". We may labor with all our might to climb towards the peak of Mount Sinai. But instead of meeting a vision of hope ...

I Could Not Believe That My Sins Could be Forgiven
There are many of us, throughout the years, who have sat under the preaching of the Word yet little does it shine true in our own hearts. Week in and week out we hear the Gospel preached yet as if it falls unto deaf ears. Like the whistling of the wind that a busy city would care less about. Perhaps there are some of you here today reading this entry who are still in this ...

There is a Power in God’s Gospel Beyond All Description!
I am at a loss for words as to why it seems that most of us have lost confidence in the Gospel of God. We esteem it in words and lip-service but deny it's power in the practicality of life. In battling sin we look to so many devices and methods and deny Christ's place in the power of His Gospel that overcomes and subdues the very root of sin. Even in our preaching of the Gospel, ...

Grief That One Poor Fountain of Tears can Never Express
The coldness of heart toward sin is always such a terrible thing. A tragic thing. How is it that our hearts can look at the dying, bleeding Savior and not be broken with such a vision? Perhaps it is because we take it too lightly. The vision of the God-man, Christ Jesus, bearing the shame of the wrath of men whilst bearing the full weight of the fury of the wrath of God, somehow has tragically ...

My Heart is Melted Within Me in Sorrow, in Heaviness
I determined myself to simply continually draw the Daily Devotion's from C.H. Spurgeon's recollection of his conversion, but the richness of this entry off his bi-daily devotional "Morning and Evening" impressed much on my soul that I just had to post it. Reader, I pray it would bless you and be a great balm for your soul far more than it did mine. When sin overcomes you, when temptations roll ten thousand strong, though you may ...
