Saturday, June 27, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Only ye shall not go very far away.”—Exodus 8:28. THIS is a crafty word from the lip of the arch-tyrant Pharaoh.

Friday, June 26, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Art thou become like unto us?”—Isaiah 14:10. WHAT must be the apostate professor’s doom when his naked soul appears before God?

Thursday, June 25, 2015 This Evening’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “The dove found no rest for the sole of her foot.”—Genesis 8:9. READER, can you find rest apart from the ark, Christ Jesus? Then be assured that your religion is vain. Are you satisfied with anything short of a conscious knowledge of your union and interest in Christ? Then woe… (more…)

Thursday, June 25, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Get thee up into the high mountain.”—Isaiah 40:9. OUR knowledge of Christ is somewhat like climbing one of our Welsh mountains. When you are at the base you see but little: the mountain itself appears to be but one-half as high as it really is. Confined in a little valley,… (more…)

Tuesday, June 23, 2015 This Evening’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Waiting for the adoption.”—Romans 8:23. EVEN in this world saints are God’s children, but men cannot discover them to be so, except by certain moral characteristics. The adoption is not manifested, the children are not yet openly declared. Among the Romans a man might adopt a child, and keep it… (more…)

 Tuesday, June 23, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Ephraim is a cake not turned.”—Hosea 7:8. A cake not turned is uncooked on one side; and so Ephraim was, in many respects, untouched by divine grace: though there was some partial obedience, there was very much rebellion left. My soul, I charge thee, see whether this be thy case.… (more…)

Monday, June 22, 2015 This Evening’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “That those things which cannot be shaken may remain.”—Hebrews 12:27.

Sunday, June 21, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Thou art fairer than the children of men.”—Psalm 45:2.

Friday, June 19, 2015 This Evening’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “My Beloved is mine, and I am His: He feedeth among the lilies.

Evening’s With Charles Spurgeon ~ 06.18.15

Thursday, June 18, 2015 This Evening’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse.”—Song of Solomon 5:1. THE heart of the believer is Christ’s garden.

Wednesday, June 17, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Help, Lord.”—Psalm 12:1. THE prayer itself is remarkable, for it is short, but seasonable, sententious, and suggestive. David mourned the fewness of faithful men, and therefore lifted up his heart in supplication—when the creature failed, he flew to the Creator. He evidently felt his own weakness, or he would not… (more…)

Monday, June 15, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.”—Genesis 21:6.

Sunday, June 14, 2015 This Evening’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face . . . because we have sinned against Thee.”—Daniel 9:8. Adeep sense and clear sight of sin, its heinousness, and the punishment which it deserves, should make us lie low before the throne. We have sinned as Christians. Alas! that it should… (more…)

Morning’s With Charles Spurgeon ~ 06.14.15

Sunday, June 14, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Delight thyself also in the Lord.”—Psalm 37:4.

Morning’s With Charles Spurgeon ~ 06.13.15

Saturday, June 13, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”—Revelation 22:17. JESUS says, “take freely.” He wants no payment or preparation. He seeks no recommendation from our virtuous emotions. If you have no good feelings, if you be but willing, you are invited; therefore come! You have no belief and… (more…)

Evening’s With Charles Spurgeon ~ 06.12.15

Friday, June 12, 2015 This Evening’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling.” 2 Timothy 1:9.

Friday, June 12, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Thou art weighed in the balances and art found wanting.”—Daniel 5:27.

Wednesday, June 10, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “We live unto the Lord.”—Romans 14:8. IF God had willed it, each of us might have entered heaven at the moment of conversion.
