The FaithFul of God
“Cast your burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain you.” Psalm 55:22 It is by an act of simple, prayerful faith we transfer our cares and anxieties, our sorrows and needs, to the Lord. Jesus invites you come and lean upon Him, and to lean with all your might upon that arm that balances […]
Eternal love moved the heart of Jesus to relinquish heaven for earth—a diadem for a cross—the robe of divine majesty for the garment of our nature; by taking upon Himself the leprosy of our sin. Oh, the infinite love of Christ! What a boundless, fathomless ocean! Ask the ransomed of the Lord, whose chains He […]
The inquiry of the soul is after that which is most excellent. The excellency of Christ is such, that the discovery of it is exceedingly contenting and satisfying to the soul. The carnal soul imagines that earthly things are excellent- one thinks riches most excellent, another has the highest esteem of honor, and to another […]

JBear patiently the rod for a season, and under the darkness still trust in God, for His love burns towards you. God loves you, his child, with a love too deep for human imagination! He loves you with all His infinite heart! God has not forgotten us because He smites — His blows are […]

Spurgeo “NO TEARS IN HEAVEN” In heaven, all inward evils will have been removed by the perfect sanctification wrought in us by the Holy Spirit.

The Lord our God is a God of purpose- absolute and unalterable purpose. God’s purpose must and shall be accomplished. Before the world was made, before time began, almighty God sovereignly purposed all that comes to pass. Everything that is, has been, and shall hereafter be, was purposed by God from eternity. Everything […]
Psalm 112:7. The worst calamity is the wisest and the kindest thing that could occur to me, if God ordains it. “We know that all things work together for good to those who love God.” The Christian does not merely hold this as a theory, but he knows it as a matter of fact. […]
Matthew 9:12. Many people think that, when we preach salvation, we mean salvation from going to hell. We do not mean that, but we mean a great deal more. We preach salvation from sin; we say that Christ is able to save a man; and we mean by that that he is able to save […]
Octavius Winslow (1808-1878) The precious blood of Christ.—1 Peter 1:19 HE Word of God is the only book that conveys to us a correct idea of the sanctity and meaning of blood. The instructions of God as to its nature and use in the Levitical economy present the spectacle to the mind invested with an impressiveness […]
Freely adapted from Intercessory Prayer by Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892) Intercessory prayer is exceedingly prevalent. What wonders it has wrought! It has stayed plagues, healed diseases, and raised the dead. As to how many souls intercessory prayer has instrumentally saved, recording angel, thou canst tell! There is nothing which intercessory prayer cannot do. O believer, you […]
Beloved, make your lives clear! Be as the brook wherein you may see every stone at the bottom. Do not be as the muddy creek, of which you only see the surface- but be clear and transparent, so that your heart’s love to God and man may be distinctly visible to all. You need not […]
Believers, as they grow in grace, are made to feel more and more acutely the evil of their old nature. You will find that those who are most like Christ have the deepest knowledge of their own depravity, and are most humble while they confess their sinfulness. I think, throughout eternity, if we had this […]
The following is from Spurgeon’s sermon, “The Gospel’s Power in a Christian’s Life” No. 640 Oh! the great thing the Church needs is more holiness. The worst enemies of the Church are the hypocrites, the formalists the mere professors, the inconsistent walkers. It is shocking to think how persons dare to remain members of Christian […]
I hope you have a blessed Memorial Day, which to me, is a very somber day… Every Memorial Day, I struggle to find the right words to say, as I don’t think there are any words that can do this day justice. I have angry swell up in me over the many that have gave […]
