Morning and Evening Thoughts C H Spurgeon [framed in terms of the last day of the year]

31 Dec 2022 Michael A

MORNING: Based on John 7:37: …Proclamation is made most freely, that every thirsty one is welcome. No other distinction is made but that of thirst. Whether it be the thirst of avarice, ambition, pleasure, knowledge, or rest, he who suffers from it is invited. The thirst may be bad in itself, and be no sign of grace, but rather a mark of inordinate sin longing to be gratified with deeper draughts of lust; but…. EVENING: “The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.” — Jer_8:20 Not saved! Dear reader, is this your mournful plight? …Years have followed one another into eternity, and your last year will soon be here: youth has gone, manhood is going, and yet you are not saved….

Repent or Perish! – A. W. Pink

27 Dec 2022 Michael A

The following 5-minute devotional says much about repentance and the hindrances to it. The chief obstacle is self, which he addresses in a succinct but thorough manner. [One big problem of the Christian walk is learning to deny self. This culture has made that a huge problem because we are taught from childhood, by TV ads and by observing what the people around us value, that self-gratification is the height of personal freedom.] Sermon highlights precede the 5-minute video

Trendy Christians Err Greatly

11 Nov 2022 Michael A

This post contains the Evening portion of C H Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Thoughts for November 10. His words are very needful to the contemporary church because these words reveal their betrayal of Him, whom they falsely profess to be their Master. If you are struggling to carry your cross because it is so difficult due to the maltreatment from the world, then Spurgeon’s words will encourage and comfort you, as this message is woven throughout the Bible. Jesus stated it often, see John 15:18-27 for one example, other texts referenced in the post.

What Has Been Will Be Again – A. W. Pink

7 Nov 2022 Michael A

The following 7-minute video uses verses from Ecclesiastes, Matthew, Revelation… to explain how sensationalists, who are unaware of history, are always talking about new extraordinary events that are signs of the end of the age. The video encourages one to get into the word of God and trust in Him instead of allowing yourself to be influenced by sensationalists who blow current wickedness out of proportion because they do not understand the sin problem and its fruit which has been manifest since the fall.

It Would Be An Awful Thing – Charles Spurgeon

8 Mar 2022 Michael A

It Would Be An Awful Thing – Charles Spurgeon [one-minute video short from CS&A] Millions of men are in the outlying regions, far off from God and peace; for these we pray, and to these we give warning. But just now we have to do with a smaller company, who are not far from the kingdom, but have come right up to the wicket gate [a term from Pilgrim’s Progress] which stands at the head of the way of life. One would think that they would hasten to enter, for a free and open invitation is placed over the entrance, the porter waits to welcome them, and there is but this one way to eternal life. He that is most loaded seems the most likely to pass in and begin the heavenward journey; but what ails the other men?
