Slaves of Christ – Martyn Lloyd-Jones

The Bible has made it clear that the life of the Christian will not be one of ease, but a continuous battle against the evil one. In order to live in victory, one must put on the breastplate of righteousness. The question, then, is how does one do this? …He begins by stating that putting on the breastplate of righteousness can be equated to putting on Jesus and walking in the Spirit. …Walking in the Spirit shows that the Christian is a new creation in Christ and has made Him the master rather than themselves….

Morning and Evening by C H Spurgeon for March 29

Spurgeon’s Morning commentary is on the following verse: “Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered.” — Heb_5:8. His Evening thoughts are about this verse: Song of Solomon 5:6  I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.  [The morning thoughts are in line with the MLJ sermon which will be posted later today.]
