All Bible versions that are NOT translated from the Textus Receptus [The (traditional) Received Greek Text] include variant readings that diminish the full expressions of glory and the most Holy reverence due to the Omnipotent, Almighty GOD. He preserves and protects its immutably in the 1769 Edition of the 1611 King James Version Bible KJV. This version is known as the Authorized King James Version AKJV and the Authorized Version AV. ALL GLORY is due and must be given to the Omnipotent and Omniscient LORD of ALL.
The Geneva Bible was also translated from the Greek Textus Receptus including comments favorable to the Protestant Reformation from inspired, devoted, faithful Christian men of GOD; Puritan Believers known to be beyond reproach.
This Bible was first brought to Plymouth Massachusetts in the American Colonies by the Puritan Pilgrims guided by Captain Christopher Jones’s on the Mayflower sailing ship in 1620. A 1592 Edition of the Geneva Bible that belonging to a Mayflower passenger and the Governor of the Plymouth Colony (Later to become the State of Massachusetts) by William Bradford and is on display at the Pilgrim Hall Museum in Plymouth, Massachusetts, the oldest continuously operating public museum in the United States.
The traditional Textus Receptus [Received Greek Text] unlike any other Greek Text was taken from more than 5,321 original Majority Greek Manuscripts MT that agree 98% with one another. Other variant readings are translations invented by either Westcott and Hort or Nestle and Aland. These fabricated Greek Texts were translated from only a handful [45] of Majority Text Manuscripts MT and lack the trustworthiness of the inspired 1769 [1611] King James Version, KJV or the Geneva Bible and are the only two translations of the traditional, reliable, inspired, [GOD BREATHED] immutable and providentially and divinely protected Textus Receptus.

Bridge to Babylon The 1881 Textual Criticism Controversy

(169 mins.)
The historical video documentary Bridge to Babylon presents evidence that tracks the explosion of more than 100 new Critical Text editions of English translations of the Bible. The attempts to change by adding to, or taking away from the 1769 edition of the King James Version KJV of the Holy Bible cannot prevail because GOD Himself preserves and protects His inspired [God Breathed] , inerrant, immutable [incapability of any change] and infallible Holy Word from any and all heresy, blasphemy, confusion , error, additions to, or subtractions from the WORD of GOD.

BCE/CE vs. BC/AD Is there a difference?
defend the Truth. Won’t you?
*A.D. does NOT mean “After Death” as many mistakenly believe. It is Latin for Anno Domini, a phrase adopted into English usage that means “Year of [the] Lord”. The complete original phrase "anno Domini nostri Jesu Christi" means "in the year of our Lord Jesus Christ”. A.D. together with B.C. Before Christ divides all history into before and after the birth of Jesus the Christ [Messiah].

Can DAILYSPURGEON be trusted? Is it trustworthy?
Is it of God?
YES, it can! Yes, it is! Here’s why.
Beloved ones, don’t be believing every spirit [everyone or !everything] you hear but be testing the spirit [voice] whether it is of God: because many false prophets have gone [come] out into the world. Here’s how you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit [voice] that confesses [avows] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh, having come[who came] out of God, is of God: and every spirit that confesses not [doesn’t audibly avow] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Therefore I do audibly confess, that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh.
[All translations of the Bible using Greek translations other than the traditional and faithful Textus Receptus do not contain the Greek word “ictin”. This word means “is” in English] and its exclusion causes the meaning of its English equivalent, “is here” to change from “is” come” [is here] to “has” come”.
This error is self-evident because non-believers, false prophets, atheists and even heretics can, and frequently do, affirm that Jesus Christ “has come” [in the flesh].
While this is a true statement, when taken at face value, the meaning of “has come” is clearly not the same as “is here”. When has come is the meaning the scriptural test to discern whether the words being analyzed are from the Spirit of God or the spirit of antichrist is completely negated.
One of the most well documented facts in all history of humanity is that Jesus Christ [The Anointed Messiah] “has” come in the flesh. However, the question of much greater importance, is not whether the spirit [a spoken or written word] confesses that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh but, whether this confession affirms that Jesus Christ, “is come” [is here], in the flesh.
We now Compare and consider [Meditate upon] scripture with other relative scripture: Precept upon precept, Line upon line…
Isaiah 28:10-14
_________________________________________
For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32 This is a great mystery: but I [The Apostle Paul] speak concerning Christ and the church. [The body and Bride of CHRIST]
“I speak concerning Christ and the church.” [the fleshly embodiment, here and now, of the body of Christ]. Because followers of Jesus Christ are members of the incarnate Body of Christ [The Church] I affirm and avow that Jesus Christ is here
[Not “Has come”] in the flesh.

Which Bible Is The Best? (57 min.) David Hocking
GOD’S HOLY WORD is
Immutable, [unchanging and, unable to mutate or be changed],
Inspired, [God breathed, spoken],
Infallible,[Incapable of failing]
Inerrant [Without error]
Self-Authenticating [The Bible is considered to be self-authenticating because proponents who believe it to be so know it contains inherent divine qualities—Such qualities are unity, majesty, power, and internal consistency—that reveal its divine origin, that convinces readers of its truth without relying on external historical proof or church testimony.
This concept, championed by the Reformation, know that the Holy Spirit illuminate:
the "heavenliness of its matter," the "efficacy of its doctrine," and the "majesty of its style" within the text itself, allowing God's Word to be received directly, the same way as seeing God's glory in Christ.]
Providentially Protected and Preserved
Psalm 12:6-7: 6 The words of the Lord are pure words:
as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 Thou shalt keep them [Thy Words] , O Lord, thou shalt preserve them [Thy Words] from this generation for ever. (AKJV).
Isaiah 40:8: 8 The grass withereth, [withers] the flower fadeth [fades] :but the word of our God shall stand for ever. (AKJV).
Matthew 5:18: 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. (AKJV).
Matthew 24:35: 35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. (AKJV).
1 Peter 1:23: 23 being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. (AKJV).
1 Peter 1:25: 25 but the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you. (AKJV).
Psalm 119:89: 89 For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven, Psalm 119:89). (AKJV).
The Authorized King James Version (AKJV) also known as The Authorized Version (AV) and The Geneva Bible are faithful English Translations from the preeminent, [surpassing all others] and traditional Greek of the Textus Receptus [Received Text] that self-authenticate and are superior to all Critical Text translations or editions as to their authentic divine inspiration and fidelity from The Almighty andTriune GOD.
John 1:1: 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
_____________________________________________________
Which Bible Is The Best? (57 min.) David Hocking
(8 min.) The problem behind Bible translations is not English. The issue is what Greek text was being used. I believe the true Author is The Holy Spirit. I believe this is the Word of God… We need to understand that The word of GOD in and of itself is power. Power to change your life and through the work of the Holy Spirit can produce the New Birth. We are born again of an incorruptible seed of the Word of God which liveth and abideth forever.
- David Hocking
John 1:1-3 1In the beginning was he Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in he beginning with God. 3 all things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.
(AKJV) The Authorized Version AKJV Translation was faithfully translated by fully consecrated, and dedicated, preeminent linguists, language scholars who were fully devoted followers of The Lord Jesus Christ. The 1611 King James translation is from the inerrant, inspired and immutable Textus Receptus [Received Text]:
Psalm 119:89 ל (Lamed) Forever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.
“Thy Word” is The Inspired and Ultimate Stare Decisis [The Latin phrase in Legal jargon that establishes the principle of “Legal Precedence” means to stand by things decided, and with reference to Holy Scripture, to uphold all things God-Breathed [Inspired] and therefore eternally and immutably decided]
4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth [says] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Therefore, I now confess that “Jesus Christ is here in the flesh.”
[All other English translations of the Bible that use Greek manuscripts other than the Textus Receptus erroneously render the English translation as “Has come”.
This Translation error is because inferior Greek manuscripts do not include the Greek word “ictin” (This is The Greek word for is that is found only in the Textus Receptus) and therefore fail to correctly translate “Is come” [Is Here] into English.
The Authorized King James Version AKJV also known as The Authorized Version AV and the Geneva Bible stand alone in giving the correct translation, “is here”.
The error, “has come” is self- evident, because non-believers, false prophets and even heretics can, and sometimes do, make the confession that He “has come” in the flesh. This is no surprise to us because the birth of Jesus Christ is the most well documented fact in all of recorded history. Indeed, it is a factual statement that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. While this is, on the surface a true statement, when “has come” replaces “is come” its altered meaning does not now provide the test of discernment as to whether a spirit [voiced or written words being read or heard] is either from God or from antichrist. It is true that Jesus Christ “has come” in the flesh, but it’s essential and of crucial importance, that the confession that Jesus Christ, “is here, in the flesh.” Be made out-loud.
By Reading, comparing and meditating on any certain Scripture together with other relevant Scriptures, God’s Word clarifies and self-authenticates:
Therefore we study:
1 John 4:1-3 with Ephesians 5:30-32
Authorized (King James) Version
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: 3 and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
30: for we are members of his [Jesus Christs’] body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. 32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and His bride the church.
[We are members of His body, flesh and bones, one flesh with Him, as His bride the church].
He was born of a virgin 2026 years ago, and HE is alive today,
and He is coming soon for His bride; The Church.
"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit,
believed on in the world, received up into glory. "1 Timothy 3:16

It should be the desire of every born-again believer to worship God with all their heart, soul, mind and strength, in Spirit and in truth.
“Study to show yourself approved unto God, a worker that needs not be ashamed, rightly dividing [accurately sharing] the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15
To this end, Heavenly Father, we pray that You will bless all who visit this website and bring many to confess the Lord Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. We ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
This Website does not replace nor can it be a substitute for the in-person, personal assembling of ourselves together. Hebrews 10:23-27
Rather, the Website’s purpose is to save lost sinners and to teach and encourage believers through God’s Word and prayer to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ [The Messiah] in personal discipleship and worship of the Lord Jesus as we are being conformed to His very image. “For whom God did foreknow he did also predestinate to be conformed to the image of his son…” Romans 8:29
We are, instructed by Holy Scripture to assemble, praise and worship God. Thus, we worship the Lord Jesus Christ and exhort [encourage] and provoke one another to do good works.
Such worship takes place through, congregational singing of sacred hymns and spiritual songs, reading, preaching and obeying God’s Word, sharing Christian love and fellowship, agreeing together with specific public prayer requests, and reading and exhorting one another in the Word, to provoke one another to love and serve and bear witness with one another in the Holy Ghost.
Admonition: Online streaming does not satisfy personal interaction, of warm fellowship of an in-person assembly of brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. Electronic media cannot substitute for the warm inter-personal fellowship, commitment, and humility, nor does it provide for a kind and comforting touch or embrace of another believer. e.g. Laying on of hands, 1 Timothy 4:14; the right hands of Christian fellowship, Galatians 2:9; or an embrace, Acts 20:1; or greeting with a holy kiss,
We give thanks to the Lord, for DailySpurgeon.com as an instrumentality for building up of fully devoted followers of the Lord Jesus Christ who are being taught and are taught to teach others to be disciples; Fully devoted followers of The Lord Jesus Christ [The anointed Messiah].
We pray that you will also be an inspired instrumentality of God to share the good news of Jesus Christ with every creature, encouraging them to become the very image of Jesus Christ.
This ministry was begun as daily e-mails of Faith’s Checkbook by Charles H. Spurgeon were sent to Jon Edward Riley. Jon shared these messages with others and soon many wered added to the mailing list as he witnessed and shared his testimony with them.
Jon was called home by his loving Father in Heaven on January 16, 2021 leaving a legacy of this Website to minister to all who will benefit in this labor of Love to the glorify God and His Eternal Kingdom. ALL Glory belongs to God, alone.
Jon is honored; giving honor to whom honor is due. Romans 13:7
We pray that many will be born again, challenged, encouraged, and built-up to become fully devoted followers of the Lord Jesus Christ and be conformed to His image; that they might be the firstborn among many brethren. Romans 8:28-29.

Jon loved to say, “I’m a blood-bought, born-again Child of God!” to anyone he happened to meet or to anyone who would listen.
… Jon’s testimony lives on from one who, by grace, through faith was forever accepted in the Beloved; who’s loving ways brought the good news of Jesus to many. and one who is now present with the LORD in glory forever. One who, one day, we’ll meet again.
Amen.
Jon would sometimes just sing-out some of the following songs on the way to church, or sometimes just singing along with the Elvis Gospel CD that was always in our F-150’s CD player while riding with his Dad or,
Best of all, when an inspired, spontaneous praise from the Lord would just pop out from his joyful, creative, redeemed and loving heart.
Favorite Sacred Songs:
I Love You Lord by the Gaither choir
I Love You Lord Universal Music Group
I LOVE You Lord by Jared Reynolds
Where No One Stands Alone Gaither Vocal Band
Lead Me & Rock-a My Soul by Elvis and friends
He Knows Just What I Need by Elvis
How Great Thou Art with Elvis
Lead Me & Rock-a My Soul Elvis and friends
Lead Me, Guide Me by Elvis
It Is No Secret by Elvis written by Stuart Hamblen
The following recordings were discovered several months after Jon was called home on January 16th 2021. It’s such a blessing, to hear Elvis sing the Gospel message in song but, of course, it doesn’t compare with the Glory of being in the actual presence of the LORD.
LIFE by Elvis
*I Can Only Imagine being present with the LORD, or hearing the completed song the Lord completed with Jon when he arrived; a song known only to the Lord, to Jon and the few who heard Jon sing it here. Lyrics remembered from him singing: "See my Jesus, Walkin' on duh Waduh"… an original, inspired song from our beloved Jon, himself a true and renown original.
* Click and sing:
I CAN ONLY IMAGINE with Wynonna Judd.
LOVE WITHOUT END, AMEN (A Father’s Love) by George Strait honoring George H.W. Bush (41st President) A favorite song of the President.
It’s also my sincere message of love to all my children, grand-children and great grand-children etc.
…Jon would always say “Later”; [as in, see-ya later] instead of “good bye”. It was his only farewell greeting when parting company with a friend; and, everyone was Jon’s friend.
… He would never say “good-bye”.
Now, as we remember the sound of him saying “Later”, it rings true in a new and deeper meaning and it brings a joy and comfort to the hearts of those whom he loved so well; those who love him still and will forever more.
… and how much sweeter to us now, are the promises in these two Hymns:
’TILL WE MEET AGAIN. (sing along, won’t you?)

God Appeals to Reason Isaiah 30:15-21 with Dr. Peter Masters
Before conversion, the claims of God mean nothing to us, but when God's Word speaks to our hearts, [by the Holy Spirit] the challenge becomes inescapable [and Irresistible ]. Self-searching begins, and the kindness of God's forgiving love is grasped as never before. Here is God's reasoning with souls.

TEACHING SERMONS
Christ Prepares His Church
The call of the disciples, their unique role, and the care and patience of Christ in their training. Then the preparation of the church for extreme and persistent opposition, the reasons why demons were cast out, the unpardonable sin, and the supreme mark of true conversion.
Dr Peter Masters | 11:00am | December 2022
Dr Peter Masters 6:30 pm | December 2022
The goodness of God is fully demonstrated in the promises He makes in the Bible. That the Creator and Sovereign God should deign to give promises to us is amazing. Here are the major promises, how Christ makes them possible, and how we receive them.

Sanctify Them Through Thy Truth John 17:17 Dr. Peter Masters, Pastor
Sanctification (purification, consecration and commitment) by the Word is the will of Christ for His own, and here we turn to the first three of the Ten Commandments to challenge our souls. How should these be applied today in our lives and churches?
Closeness to Christ 2 Timothy 2:10-12 Dr. Peter Masters
In this hostile world, believers cannot live successfully and fruitfully without Christ being with their spirits. Here is why the soul is also called the spirit, and what it means for Christ to be with our spirit. Examples and counsels for securing His nearness.

What Is the Gospel by the late Dr. R. C. Sproul
Christians are called to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but in our day there is confusion about the content of the Gospel. The biblical Gospel is challenged not only by Roman Catholics and liberals, but by those who claim to be evangelical. In this lecture, Dr. R. C. Sproul will clarify exactly what the Gospel is and what it is not.

The Phenomenon of Love Isaiah 63.7 Dr. Peter Masters
The nature and scope of human love is impressive, but Divine love, made visible in history and, supremely in the atoning sacrifice of Christ, is limitless, freely bestowed and certain toward all who find Him. Here are the 'loving-kindnesses of the Lord' they experience.
Living for the Flesh or for the Spirit Romans 8.5-6 Dr. Peter Masters
There are two classes of people in the Bible, those who focus on 'the flesh', and those who relate to the Spirit. Here are the characteristics and goals of each, and how God can free us from the captivity of flesh to know communion with Himself.
Mutual Debts in Marriage 1 Corinthians 7:3 Dr. Peter Masters 15 January 2012
A key word has slipped out of some modern translations – the marital debt of benevolence, meaning goodwill and kind benefits. Here are seven debts each has to the other in Christian marriage, a sevenfold bond and blessing to the crowning earthly friendship of life’s journey. Are we paying what is ‘due’?
God’s Order for Man and Women 1 Corinthians Ch 11 Dr. Peter Masters
Paul answers the question on the roles of husbands and wives and affirms conformity to the dress code of head coverings in Greek society at that time. With Calvin and major confessions we show that the ‘message’ of clothing may change in other ages and lands.
Things Only Believers See 1 Corinthians 2:9 Dr. Peter Masters
Sunday Morning 13 February 2022
The apostle impresses upon us the spiritual blindness of the unconverted state to the wonders revealed in the Gospel, including future glories (described here). Here also is the meaning of 'comparing spiritual things with spiritual,' judging all things and living the mind of Christ

Sunday Morning 11 April 2021 (March 17 Sermon)
In the building of a spiritual family the work of the Holy Spirit is the vital power. Here several Holy Spirit verses in Ephesians are explored (including 'Be filled with the Spirit') to show the different activities of the Spirit in the Christian life.
The True Source of Power with Dr. Peter Masters
Sunday Morning 23 January 2022
For the Gospel to be credible, (the Corinthians [and many today] erroneously taught), we need conspicuous personalities or preachers. Here Paul proclaims the true source of spiritual power, the preaching of the cross of Christ, and why it is foolishness to the perishing and power to the saved.

SERMONS: from Spurgeon’s Metropolitan Tabernacle (London, UK)
He Loved and Gave Himself with Dr. Peter Masters
The enduring amazement of Paul the Apostle shines through these famous words, urging us to explore and ponder the glorious Person of Christ and the way in which He 'gave Himself', or handed Himself over, to the work of redeeming His people.

PRAYER 3 Part 3 of 5 January 14th THE LOVE WITHOUT MEASURE OR END
We feel like singing all the time; we would [like to] take down our harp from the willows, if we had hung it there, and we would waken every string to the sweetest melody of praise unto the Lord our God. Yet, Lord, we cannot close with praise, for we are obliged [obligated] to come before Thee with humble confession of our sin. We are not worthy of the least of all these favors; we cannot say, “He is [we are] worthy for whom Thou shouldst [should] do this thing,”
Nay, [no] but we are altogether unworthy, and Thy gifts are according to the riches of Thy grace, for which again we praise Thee.
Lord, forgive us all our sin. May Thy pardoned ones have a renewed sense of their acceptance in the Beloved [The Lord Jesus]. If any cloud has arisen to hide Thee from any believing eye, take that cloud away. If in our march through this world, so full of mire as it is, we have any spot on us, dear Savior, wash our feet with that blessed foot-bath, and then say to us,
“Ye are clean every whit [bit].”
May we know it so, that there is no condemnation, no separation; sin is removed as to its separating as well as its destroying power, and may we enter into full fellowship with God. May we walk in the light as God is in the light, and have fellowship with Him, while the blood of Jesus Christ, His Son, cleanseth [cleanses] us from all sin.
Let no child of Thine have any dead work upon his conscience, and may our conscience be purged [cleansed] from dead works to serve the living and true God.
And oh! if there are any that after having made the profession of religion [faith] have gone astray by any form of sin, Lord, restore them. If they have fallen by strong drink, if they have fallen by unchastity, if they have fallen by dishonesty; if, in any way, they have stained their garments, Oh! that Thy mighty grace might bring them back and put them yet among the children.
But give them not up, [Don’t give up on them] set them not as Admah, make them not as Zeboim, but let Thy repentings be kindled and Thy bowels [heart] of compassion be moved for them, and let them also be moved, and may they return with weeping and with supplication, and find Thee [find that You are] a God ready to pardon.
[In the name of the Lord Jesus, Amen]

ANECDOTE 165: January 14th DEATH CAN DO NO REAL HARM.
Certain Swiss peasants not very long ago were feeding their flocks on one of the lofty upland valleys. On one side of the pasturage [pasture] stood a number of chalets, or wooden huts, in which they were accustomed to live during the summer, poor shelters which were left as soon as the winter set in. One day they heard a strange rumbling up in the lofty Alps, and they understood what it meant; it meant that a mass of rock or snow or ice had fallen, and would soon come crushing down in the form of an avalanche. In a brief space their fears were realized, for they saw a tremendous mass come rushing from above, bearing destruction in its course. What did it destroy? Only the old, crazy chalets: that was all. Every man of the shepherds was safe, and untouched: the event was rather to them a matter which caused a Te Deum [Ta-Dum!, Praise the Lord] to be sung in the village church below than a subject for mourning and sorrow. They said,
“The avalanche is terrible, but it has not slain the aged mother, nor crushed the babe in its cradle: it has injured none of us, but only buried a few hovels which we can soon rebuild.”
Their case is a picture of ours. The avalanche of death will fall; but O ye saints, when it comes this is all it will do for you your earthly house will be dissolved !
Will you fret over so small a loss?

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK January 14th REST IS A GIFT by C.H. Spurgeon 1834-1892
-Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest- Matthew 11:28
-Venid a mi todos los que estais trabajados y cargados, que yo os haré descansar- Mateo 11:28
We who are saved find rest in Jesus [Christ]. Those who are not saved will receive rest if they come to Him, for here He promises to –give– it. Nothing can be freer than a gift; let us gladly accept what He gladly gives. You are not to buy it, nor to borrow it; but to receive it as a gift.
You labor under the lash [whip] of ambition, covetousness, lust, or anxiety: He will set you free from this iron bondage, and give you rest.
You are –laden– yes, -heavy laden- with sin, fear, care, remorse, fear of death; but if you come to Him, He will unload you. He carried the crushing mass of our sin, that we might no longer carry it.
He [Jesus Christ] made Himself the great Burden-bearer, that every heavy laden one might cease from bowing down under the enormous pressure [weight].
Jesus gives rest. It is so. Will you believe it? Will you put it to the test? Will you do so at once?
Come to Jesus, by quitting every other hope, by thinking of Him, believing God’s testimony about Him, and trusting everything with Him. If you thus come to Him, the rest which He will give you will be deep, safe, holy, and everlasting.
He gives a rest which develops into heaven, and He gives it this day to all who come to Him.
Prayer: Thank you Lord for Your rest, given to all who labor and are heavily burdened that come to you. Help me to come back to you and receive this rest in Your name, Lord Jesus, I pray Amen.

… and pray for souls to be saved and believers to be strengthened
The Lord … is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9
Pray also that believers will be led… led by the Holy Spirit to rightly divide and proclaim God’s Word providentially protected and preserved by God, Himself.
John 3:16:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but be having everlasting life.
This Translation is from the Textus Receptus (TR) [Received Text] and is an example of the overwhelming majority of extant Greek texts MT that is in substantial agreement in their text itself and avoids inferior, ambiguous and missing primary source texts of the variant codices Alexandrinus, Sinaiticus and Vaticanus. There is substantial disagreement and missing texts among these codices which do not agree with one another, are created from incomplete codices and introduce modern biblical criticism theory that embraces ambiguities, uncertainties and variant readings [interpretations]. These are found in a multitude of new English translations and contain doctrinal compromises that nuance-away or otherwise diminish the highest glory due to God Almighty. The TR is the original primary New Testament Greek source of the Authorized King James Translation. It’s the ONLY ENGLISH translation that comes directly from the time tested and superior Textus Receptus.
For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in Heaven. Psalm 119:89
God is not the author of confusion. 1 Corinthians 4:33
God, Himself, providentially protects and preserves His WORD. All of His Word is inspired, [God-breathed], self-authenticating, immutable [unchanging and unchangeable], eternal, inerrant, infallible, infinite and all-powerful [omnipotent] Word.

MORNING January 14th “MIGHTY TO SAVE.” — Isaiah 63:1
- Grande para salvar¾ Isaías 63:1
Sing Mighty to Save with Laura Story
BY the words "to save" we understand the whole of the great work of salvation, from the first holy desire onward to complete sanctification. The [Latin] words are multum in parvo; indeed, here is all mercy in one word. Christ is not only "mighty to save" those who repent, but He is able to make men repent. He will carry those who believe to heaven; but He is, moreover, mighty to give men new hearts and to work faith in them.
He is mighty to make the man who hates holiness [to] love it, and to constrain the despiser of His name to bend the knee [in reverent submission] before Him [in His presence]. But, this is not the total meaning, for the divine power is equally seen in sanctification [to be chosen and set apart for holy purposes].
The life of a believer is a series of miracles wrought [done] by "the Mighty God." The bush burns, but is not consumed. [doesn't burn-up].
He is mighty to keep His people holy after He has made them so, and to preserve [keep] them in His fear and love until He consummates [completes] their spiritual existence in heaven.
Christs’ might does not lie [is not] in making a believer and then leaving him to shift [protect and provide] for himself; but
He [God] who begins the good work carries it on. He who imparts the first germ [spark] of life in the dead soul, prolongs the divine existence, and strengthens it until it bursts asunder [blows-up] every bond [restriction, knot and tangle] of sin, and the soul leaps from earth, perfected in glory.
Believer, here is encouragement. Are you praying for some beloved one? Do not give up [stop] your prayers, for Christ is
"mighty to save."
You are powerless to reclaim the rebel [unbeliever], but your Lord is Almighty.
Lay hold on that mighty arm, and rouse [wake] it to put forth [the action of] its strength. Does your own case trouble [bother] you?
Fear not [don’t be afraid], for His strength is sufficient [adequate] for you.
Whether to begin with others or to carry on the work in you [alone], Jesus is "mighty to save," the best proof of which lies in the fact that He has saved you. What [great] mercy [from Him] that you experienced His grace and
have not found Him mighty to destroy!

EVENING January 14th "BEGINNING TO SINK, HE [Peter] CRIED, SAYING, LORD, SAVE ME." — Matthew 14:30
— Comenzándose á hundir, dió voces, [Pedro] diciendo: Señor sálvame.¾ Mateo 14:30
SINKING times are praying times with the Lord's servants. Peter neglected prayer at the beginning of his venturous journey, but when he began to sink his danger made him a suppliant [an earnest prayor], and his cry though late was not too late.
In our hours of bodily pain and mental anguish, we find ourselves as naturally driven to prayer as the wreck is driven to the shore by the waves.
The fox runs to its hole for protection; the bird flies to the wood for shelter; and even so the tried believer hastens to the mercy seat [in prayer] for safety. Heaven's great harbor of refuge [safety] is prayer; thousands of weather-beaten vessels [ships] have found a haven [safety] there, and the moment a storm comes on, it is wise for us to make for it with all sail [full steam ahead].
Short prayers are long enough. There were but three words in the petition which Peter gasped out, but they were sufficient for his purpose.
Not length but strength is what is important. A sense of need is a mighty teacher of brevity.
If our prayers had less of the tail feathers of pride and more wing they would be all the better.
Verbiage is to devotion as chaff [is] to the wheat. Precious things lie within small boundaries.
In many a long address [prayer] all that is real prayer might have been uttered in a petition as short as that of Peter.
Our extremities [extreme difficulties] are the Lord's opportunities.
Immediately a keen sense of danger forces an anxious cry from us [so] that the ear of Jesus hears, and
with Him ear and heart go together,
and the hand does not linger [procrastinate].
At the last moment we appeal to our Master, but His swift hand makes up for our delays by instant and effective action. Are we nearly engulfed by the tumultuous waters of affliction [storms and troubles of life]?
Let us then lift up our souls unto our Savior, and we may rest assured that He will not allow us to perish.
When [even though] we can do nothing, Jesus can do all things; let us enlist His powerful aid through earnest prayer, and all will be well. [Amen].
A SINNER’S PRAYER: January 14th … FOR WHOSOEVER:
Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21
Call on the name of the Lord Jesus and be saved … pray like this, won’t you?
“Lord Jesus, I’m a lost sinner and without You I am lost. I can’t save myself. Without your death on the cross to pay my sin debt I would be condemned to spend eternity in Hell. My nature and behavior has been sinful from birth. Please forgive me.
I realize that doing my best, being as good as possible, or being better than other people can never save me. . I’m sorry for each and every sin I have ever done and look to You to forgive them all.
I look to You, alone Lord Jesus to save me.
I call on You, Lord Jesus, right now to save me. You died on the cross for me, as God’s sacrifice for my sin.
Right now, just as I am, I call on You, Lord Jesus to save me, I trust You to be my Savior and Lord.
Thank You, Lord Jesus, that You have forgiven me of all my sins. I want to follow You from now on.
You paid the price for all of my sins by dying on the cross.
Thank you, Lord Jesus that You loved me and died for me before I was born and that You love me still
Thank you, Heavenly Father, that You called me away from sin and death into the Life everlasting in Your only begotten son, the Lord Jesus.
Thank You, Heavenly Father that you raised Jesus from the dead. He is alive and in Him we are victorious over sin, death and the grave.
Thank You for saving me heavenly Father and Holy Spirit for Your comfort and guidance in all things.
With all my heart, thank you Lord Jesus for saving me. In your name, I pray, Amen.

MISSION STATEMENT
Our solemn aim is to trust and obey the Lord Jesus in everything. This relies completely upon God to achieve His purpose for us through His means. We purpose, with God’s empowerment and help, to save the lost, comfort, strengthen and encourage believers, and rightly divide God’s Word to proclaim the Gospel (Good News) of Jesus Christ to every creature.
The Holy Bible is God’s eternal, inerrant, infallible, immutable revealed and divinely preserved Word. It is His supernatural, complete scripture of all revealed truth. He brings guidance through it to us personally and to each local body of Christian believers. With God’s empowerment, we will read, study, meditate-on, trust-in and obey God’s Holy Bible and encourage others to do the same. We hold it to be the supreme authority and the preeminent and divinely established Stare Decisis [Latin: to stand by that which is decided, the legal principle of precedence, literally "to stand by decided matters"] in all things.
Tabernacle History:
The inspired preaching, teaching, soul winning and writings of Charles Haddon Spurgeon were solely based, empowered and inspired by God’s Holy Word the Bible. His written sermons and devotional content continue to benefit today’s readers with authentic Gospel preaching and sound biblical teaching. His ministry continues to flourish from the original (Spurgeon’s) Metropolitan Tabernacle, a church fellowship began in 1650 with the present building constructed by members of the congregation in 1861 and rebuilt after the second world war..
Spurgeon's written materials are for the edification of the church body as well as a great benefit, blessing and challenge to all readers. Our desire is that the written Word of God will become the Living Word in each and every reader. To this end, a calendar is indexed (top, right) on the Home page of DailySpurgeon.com for daily study, meditation and prayer. An unabridged and strictly maintained fidelity to Spurgeon’s original calendar and unabridged text is carefully guarded.
