Thursday, November 19, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “Avoid foolish questions.”—Titus 3:9.

Sunday, November 15, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “The Lord’s portion is His people.”—Deuteronomy 32:9. HOW are they His? By His own sovereign choice.

Thursday, November 12, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “The trial of your faith.”—1 Peter 1:7.

Sunday, November 08, 2015 This Morning’s Meditation C. H. Spurgeon “As ye have received Christ Jesus the Lord.”—Colossians 2:6.
