DEVOTION   for  June 9th   *A.D. 2025 Written and calendared for this exact date by Charles Haddon Spurgeon 1834-1892

PLEASE VIEW THE FOLLOWING VIDEO TO DETERMINE  WHETHER YOUR                   PREFERRED VERSION  OF THE BIBLE HAS BEEN AND IS IS PROTECTED AND               PRESERVED BY GOD AS INSPIRED [GOD-BREATHED,
WORD  FOR WORD], INNERANT, INFALLIBLE,  IMMUTABLE AND HOLY   
WORD OF GOD?

 

Bridge to Babylon The 1881 Textual Criticism Controversy

(2 hrs. 49 mins.)

This video presents historical evidence explaining the explosion of over 100 published  English versions  of the Bible. This continuing attempt to replace, add or take away from the 1769 King James Version of the Holy Bible do not  prevail because GOD Himself preserves and protects His Holy Scripture from all heresy, blasphemy, confusion and error.

Note: The New King James Version does NOT follow the Greek text  of the Textus Receptus, but a Greek Text fabricated by Westcott and Hort and is therefore inferior to the  trustworthy 1769 [1611] King James Version, the  KJV!

JESUS CHRIST, THE MESSIAH, IS RISEN  INDEED! HE IS ALIVE FOREVERMORE!

Resurrection Romans 6:3-5

3  Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

EASTER [Resurrection Sunday] IS NEVER OVER BECAUSE…

Jesus said:

John 11:25 -26  “I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:26 And whosoever liveth and believeth in me, shall never die. Believest  thou this?”  2 Timothy 2:8-26

8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel.

9 Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.

10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him:

12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:

13 If we believe not, yet he abideth [abides] faithful: he cannot deny himself.

14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.

15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.

19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth [pottery] ; and some to honor, and some to dishonor.

21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet [the perfect match] for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.

22 Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strife.

24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure [perhaps] will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

 PRAYER 22, June 9th Part 2 of 10
THE PRESENCE OF GOD

        We thank Thee, Lord, for every leaf [page] of the Book [Holy Bible], not only for its promises which are inexpressibly sweet, but for its precepts [teachings] in which our soul delights, and especially for the revelation of Thy Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

 

        O God, we thank Thee for the manifestation of Him even in the types and shadows of the Old Testament. These are inexpressibly glorious to us, full of wondrous value, inexpressibly dear because in them and through them we see the Lord. But we bless Thee much more for the clear light of the New Testament, for giving us the key to all the secrets of the Old Testament, for now, reading the scriptures of the new covenant, [New Testament] we understand the language of the old covenant and are made to joy and to rejoice therein.

 

[We praise and thank You for every jot and tittle of Your eternal Word  Matthew 5:18; Inspired (God-breathed), self-authenticating, providentially preserved and protected Holy Scripture, for ever settled in Heaven  Psalm 119:89  as Thy infinite, eternal, immutable, inerrant and infallible Written Word. (Holy Scripture)

 

“Heaven and earth shall pass away but my words shall not pass away.” (Three identical citations: Matthew 24:35Mark 13:31,  Luke 21:33.)      

Thank you in the name of the Living Word, The Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.]

ANECDOTE 313:   Telling Everything to Jesus.

 I remember when once my young heart ached in boyhood, when I first loved the Savior. I was far away from father and mother, and all I loved, and I thought my soul would burst; for I was an usher [teacher aide] in a school, in a place where I could meet with no sympathy or help. Well, I went to my chamber, [bedroom] and told my little griefs into the ears of Jesus. They were great griefs to me then, *though they are nothing now. When I just whispered them on my knees into the ear of him who had loved me with an everlasting love, oh! it was so sweet, none can tell. If I had told them to somebody else, they would have told them again; but he, my blessed confidant, he knows my secrets, and he never tells them. Oh! what can you do [you] that have got no Jesus to tell your troubles to?
*English (USA) spelling

FAITH’S CHECKBOOK  JUNE 9th C.H. Spurgeon 1834 – 1892
 

A TRUSTWORTHY NAME
-I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor  people, and they shall trust in the name of the Lord-   Zephaniah 3:12
-Y dejare en medio de ti un pueblo humilde y pobre, los cuales esperaran en el nombre de Jehova-  Sofonias 3:12 

      When true religion is ready to die out among the wealthy it finds a home among the poor of this world, [who are] rich in faith. The Lord has even now his faithful remnant. Am I one of them?  Perhaps it is because men are afflicted and poor that they learn to trust in the name of the Lord. He that hath no money must try what he can do on trust. He whose own name is good for nothing in his own esteem, acts wisely to rest in another name, even that best of names, the name of Jehovah. God will always have a trusting people, and these will be an afflicted [crippled] and poor people. Little as the world thinks of them, their being left in the midst of a nation is the channel of untold blessings to it. Here we have the conserving salt which keeps in check the corruption which is in the world through lust [covetousness and greed].  Again the question comes home to each one of us, Am I one of them? Am I afflicted [crippled, compromised] by the sin within me and around me? Am I poor in spirit, poor spiritually in my own judgment? Do I trust in the Lord?

That is the main business. Jesus reveals the name, the character, and the person of God; am I trusting in Him? If so, I am left in this world for a purpose. Lord, help me to fulfill it.
 

Prayer:  Lord, thank you for Your promise. I do trust in your name, Lord Jesus knowing that in Your name I will be blessed and kept free from sin. Please use me as salt of the earth to stand against corruption, to be your reflection  of integrity and to faithfully trust in and follow You.  I’m  asking, in faith knowing that You always keep Your word. Thank You in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Amen. 
 

 MORNING        June 9th

"The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad. " —Psalm 126:3
—Grandes cosas ha hecho Jehová con nosotros; Estaremos alegres. — Salmos 126:3  

 

         SOME Christians are sadly prone to look on the dark side of everything, and to dwell more on what they have gone through than on what God has done for them. Ask for their impression of the Christian life, and they will describe their continual conflicts, their deep afflictions, their sad adversities, and the sinfulness of their hearts, yet with scarcely any allusion to the mercy and help which God has given them. But a Christian whose soul is in a healthy state will come forward joyously and say, "I will speak, not about myself, but to the honor of my God. He has brought me up out of a horrible pit, and out of the miry clay, and set my feet on a rock, and established my goings: and He has put a new song in my mouth, even praise to our God. The Lord has done great things for me, whereof I am glad." Such an abstract of experience as this is the very best that any  child of God can present. It is true that we endure trials, but it is just as true that we are delivered out of them. It is true that we have our corruptions, and mournfully do we know this, but it is quite as true that we have an all-sufficient Savior, who overcomes these corruptions, and delivers us from their dominion. In looking back, it would be wrong to deny that we have been in the Slough of Despond, [The “Swamp of Despondency” described in Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress] and have crept along the Valley of Humiliation [op. cit], but it would be equally wicked to forget that we have been through them safely and profitably; we have not remained in them, thanks to our Almighty Helper and Leader who has brought us "out into a wealthy place."
The deeper our troubles, the louder our thanks to God, who has led us through all, and preserved us until now. Our griefs cannot mar [deface or vandalize] the melody of our praise; we reckon [rely-on , consider]  them to be the bass [lower supporting voice] part of our life's song, "He has done great things for us, whereof we are glad."

 

EVENING       June 9th

"Search the Scriptures. " —John 5:39
—Escudriñad las Escrituras—Juan 5:39 

      THE Greek word here rendered search signifies a strict, close, diligent, curious search, such as men make when they are seeking gold, or hunters when they are in earnest after game [hunting for food]. We must not rest content with superficially reading a chapter or two, but with the candle of the Spirit we must deliberately seek out the hidden meaning of the word. Holy Scripture requires searching—much of it can only be learned by careful study. There is milk for babes, but also meat for strong men. The rabbis wisely say that a mountain of matter hangs on every word, yes, on every tittle [crossing each “t”] of  Scripture. 
      Tertullian [AD 160—230, The Carthaginian theologian] exclaims, "I adore the fullness of the Scriptures."  No man who merely skims the book of God can profit thereby; we must dig and mine until we obtain the hidden treasure. The door of the word only opens to the key of diligence. The Scriptures claim [merit and require]  searching. They are the writings of God, bearing the divine stamp and imprimatur—who shall dare to treat them with levity [light heartedly, seeking amusement and entertainment]?    He who despises them despises the God who wrote them. God forbid that any of us should allow our Bibles to become swift witnesses against us in the great day of account.

 

The word of God will repay searching. God does not bid us sift a mountain of chaff with here and there a grain of wheat in it, but the Bible is winnowed corn  [pure grain with no chaff]—we have but to open the granary [silo]  door and find it. Scripture grows on the student. It is full of surprises.


Under the teaching of the Holy Spirit, to the searching eye it glows with splendor of revelation, like a vast temple paved with wrought gold, and roofed with rubies, emeralds, and all manner of gems. No merchandise [is] like the merchandise of Scripture truth.

 

Lastly, the Scriptures reveal Jesus: "They [the Scriptures] are they which testify of Me."  No more powerful motive can be urged    [recommended earnestly and persistently]   on Bible readers than this: he who finds Jesus finds life, heaven, all things. Happy he who, searching his Bible, discovers his Savior.   A SINNER’S  PRAYER 

 

Whosoever shall call on the name of the lord shall be saved. Acts 2:21

Pray and call on the name of the Lord Jesus, like this. Won’t you? 

“Lord Jesus, I’m a sinner. I’m lost and hopeless to save myself. Without you and your blood that was shed for me and Your death on the cross  I would spend eternity in Hell’s fire.

Thank you Lord Jesus that You love me and died for me before I was born and that You have always loved me and will never reject or turn your back on me. I know You are the Way, the Truth and the Life and that no one can come to the Father but by You.  

Thank you, Father that You have caused for me to see myself as I am; a lost sinner.  But,  because of Your love and goodness, You have made a way and given me the desire to come to You, to turn away from my sin and to trust in You, Lord Jesus.  You took my place on the cross and provided the way for  me to be forgiven. Thank You.
Thank You that You prompted a desire in me to believe in You, the only begotten  Son of God who died on the cross to be the sacrifice that would  atone for my sins.

Thank You, Father for Your love that allowed Jesus to suffer and die in my place. Thank You that You raised Jesus from the dead. He is RISEN and is ALIVE and in Him we are victorious over sin, death and the grave and in Christ Jesus I am free. You raised Jesus from the dead, gave Him a Glorified body and after he was seen by many witnesses on earth You took Him up to reign with You  in heaven.  Thank you, Father,  for saving me in the name, of Your only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Romans 6:11  Thank you, Holy Spirit, that you always give witness to and exalt the Lord Jesus Christ. 
John 16:8-11With all my heart, thank you Lord for saving me.
Live Your life in me,  Lord Jesus, in Your name I pray, Amen.

Who was (is) Charles Haddon Spurgeon

*A.D. did not and does NOT mean “After Death” as many erroneously now think. It actually abbreviates  Anno Domini,  a  Latin phrase adopted into English that literally means  “Year of our Lord”.  It has been used together with B.C. Before Christ   for centuries.

 

B.C.E  is not a synonym for B.C. (Before Christ)]  It is not the same thing. Not even close.

 

B.C.E. / C.E  or   B.C. /A.D.  What’s the difference?     

 

B.C.E. (BEFORE COMMON ERA [or  BEFORE CURRENT ERA] ― Anything to avoid all reference or mention of anything CHRISTIAN by atheist and anti-Christians and to remove A.D. [Anno Domini] and  B.C. [Before Christ] from being used.

 

This argument, claims to have a neutral point of view to remove the reference to Jesus Christ by omitting the use of A.D Ano Domini and B.C. Before Christ This argument brings forward a faulty and egregious hypothesis.  Without consideration of a person’s religious views analysis of the hypothesis of a neutral point of view (NPOV) must be made.

 

What is A NEUTRAL point of view?  Such a fool’s errand would argue that a point of view could set forth a valid, genuine, authentic and simultaneously  be neutral. What?  This defies logic. A neutral point of view, were it possible, is no point of view at all. Rather, it’s  illogical and by applying simple common sense, impossible.  Anytime a point of view is combined, confused or blended with another one so that the properties are clouded, weakened or confused the actual definite and certain POV is lost and any rational adherence or support for it is now moot.   A Neutral point of view exists only in  the imagination of those who prefer confusion to a true, authentic, genuine, robust and proven point of a verifiable fact.

 

A neutral point of view, were it possible, would be, at best,  illogical, unattainable,  indefensible and irresponsible. The king of oxymorons.

 

Therefore, the mere consideration of an imagined but impossible and unattainable neutral point of view (NPOV) is ludicrous.  A point of view cannot be NEUTRAL. An authentic point of view cannot be neutral, or ambiguous, but must clearly advance a singular, definite and certain  point of view (POV).  It cannot be both a  POV and neutral.   A neutral point of view is a logical impossibility.  A neutral (POV), were it possible, would ignore the historical fact of Jesus Christ’s birth. The pretense of seeking a neutral point of view  is therefore misleading and  disingenuous.

 

The Lord Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh,
was born of a virgin  2025 years ago.                       
He’s  alive  today, has always existed as God’s eternal and everlasting Word, 
and will soon return for his bride, the Church
[The body of all redeemed believers in Jesus Christ].

 

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  

 

Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: for I am God and there is none else.

Isaiah 45:22

 

You are invited to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior and Lord and to follow Him in believer’s baptism.

        Jesus came from Galilee  to Jordan to be baptized by John the Baptist. But, John forbad [refused] Him and said, “I have need to be baptized of You and [yet] you are coming to me?” [for baptism]  And Jesus answering him said, “Suffer it to be so [Do it] now: for thus it becometh us [is beautifully fitting and expected of us] to fulfil all righteousness.” 

        Baptism is not a requirement for salvation but it is the willing desire of all believers to demonstrate agreement and consistency with  the righteousness of preaching Repentance and Baptism as preached and practiced by John the Baptist is obedience to scriptural teaching.  The issue of baptism is therefore not an issue of salvation but of obedience and the fulfilling of all righteousness.

        Worshiping Him in Spirit and in truth will spring-up and be manifested in a sense of gratitude from all born again believers.  Such trust and worship can come through prayer, Bible reading, scriptural meditation and study. Fellowship in a local church body, hearing gospel preaching and singing of sacred hymns and spiritual songs are also acts of worship and reflects active discipleship.

        To this purpose, DailySpurgeon,  is offered as a reliable, dependable and effective resource.

 It is not intended, were it possible to take the place of fellowship or congregational worship in a local body of believers.

“Study to show yourself  approved unto God, a worker that needs not be ashamed, rightly dividing [accurately comprehending and sharing] the word of truth.”   2 Timothy 2:15

 

Trusting in and following the Lord Jesus Christ is our chief purpose. We trust Him for salvation, guidance, strength and our eternal destiny according to His perfect will.  We follow Him in soul winning through DailySpurgeon  or any other instrumentality He may choose.   We invite and encourage non-believers to turn away from sin, look to Him and be saved.  We trust that believers (old and new) will benefit from its use knowing that He will sustain, guide and build us up as we are conformed to His image by the power of the Holy Spirit.

SERMON:  The Metropolitan Tabernacle  (Charles Spurgeon 1834-1892)

The Strategy of Resurrection   John Ch. 20    with Dr. Peter Masters, Pastor

It is clear the resurrection was completely unexpected by the disciples. Here is how it came, first by gentle intimation, then with a caution, then as a proof of Christ's successful atonement, and then as a command to trust in the living Lord.

Mission and Invitation
 

The aim of this work is to save souls, strengthen and encourage believers in the Word, proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ as we serve those in need. We believe the Bible is God’s revealed Word and that through His Word He guides us as individuals and as a local body of believers. We are resolved, God helping us, to study, meditate and pray to rightly divide God’s revealed Word holding it as the final authority in all things. 
 

The purpose of The John Mark Publishing Company is to make known the Gospel of The Lord Jesus Christ to every creature. We aim to love the brethren, win souls, and  build-up of the Body of Christ, [The Universal Church of true believers].  We purpose to publish the Good News of Jesus Christ and to proclaim (preach) HIM everywhere.  We purpose also to serve everyone, especially those in the household of faith.. 
       We believe the Bible is God’s everlasting, inspired (God breathed) Word.  By His Word He guides us individually and corporately through His local Church.
       God’s Word [The Bible] is the driving essence of all our work. To this end we annotate and reprint, unabridged, the sermons and publications from The Holy Bible that were preached and taught through the inspired servant Charles Haddad Spurgeon.

He didn’t need it and wouldn’t have wanted it.  Rather, it is offered as an encouragement, for seekers and believers who read, meditate on, pray-over and desire to obey through the power of The Holy Spirit, God’s inspired [God breathed] inerrant, revealed, immutable Word, the Bible.

       Printed Prayer:  Should not be read or offered as a substitute for personal, fervent, effectual, heart-felt, prayer.

Paul’s gratitude, contentment and blessing recorded in the book of Philippians quotes the principle and practices regarding all contributions to the Publishing Company. We desire fruit that may abound to your account through your generosity:  (vis.)
"For even in  [the]  Thessaloni'ca [jail] ye sent once and again unto my necessity.  Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.  Philippians 4:17. But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received the things which were sent from you, an odor of a sweet smell, Exodus. 29.18 a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God. …But I know that my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:17-19.  Now unto God and our Father  be  glory  for ever and ever. Amen. Salute [Greet]  every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren which are with me greet you All the saints salute [Greet]  you, chiefly they that are of  *Caesar’s household. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Philippians 4:23 Amen” 

* Not only were new converts won to the truth in Caesar's household, but after their conversion they remained in that household. They did not feel at liberty to abandon their post of duty because their surroundings were no longer congenial. [They were now out of their comfort zone but obliged to steadfastly remain and serve there] The truth had found them there, and there they remained, by their changed life and character testifying to the transforming power of their new found faith in Jesus Christ.  Thank you for your prayers.

 

Let us make daily use of our riches, and ever repair [return] to Him as to our own Lord in covenant, taking from Him the supply of all we need with as much boldness as men take money from their own purse [wallet].

Can You trust this website?

Is it of God?

Is it trustworthy?

1 John  Chapter 4

Beloved ones, don’t be believing every spirit [everything you hear] but [continually] be testing the spirit whether it is of God: because many false prophets have come out in the world. Here’s how you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit [voice] that confesseth [confesses, says] that Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh, having come out of God, is of God: and every spirit [voice] that confesseth not [doesn't confess] 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.

Hence, I confess [declare and affirm] "Jesus Christ is come [is here] in the flesh."

___________________________________________________________________

He has always existed from eternity past [FOREVER] as the WORD of God.    John 1:1-2

And He was born of a virgin 2,024 years ago in Bethlehem, the WORD made flesh,

is alive today, and is coming soon for His *bride, the Church

[*All redeemed believers].

"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

 

Let me invite you to trust in  the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord and to publicly confess [declare] Him as such before men [publicly]. He will therefore be able to acknowledge and confess you before His Father in Heaven. He is The God of Abraham. Isaac and Jacob. Following your public confession, You also invited to follow Him in believer’s baptism by immersion.
