DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
Lord, fill us full of your truth, with power to speak it. Oh that we might be clear at the last hour, the Lord will look upon the many that there are today who are preaching another gospel, that is not another, and let a blast and confusion from the Eternal go out against those who undermine the essential doctrines of your word.
O God, we grow negligent often in our prayers as we cry out before you against those who would rob your Son of his deity, his precious blood of its value, sinners of their only hope, who even dare to blot out the terrible threatenings of your Word, and make sin to be such a trifle as to be scarcely worth mentioning. Oh raise up a race of true preachers, we ask Thee. O God of Wesley and Whitefield, let not the breed die out. May we have again men that can thunder when God would have them be like a tempest, but can speak with soft and gentle words when God would find a Barnabas to comfort the sons of men. O God of the Eternal Truth, let the old doctrine yet prevail, and may those that hate it be put to the rout.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“I am amazed that you are so quickly turning away from him who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel—not that there is another gospel, but there are some who are troubling you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.” (Galatians 1:6–7)
There are not two gospels any more than there are two Gods. There is one only message from God, full of good news to men. If you turn away from that, you turn away to a falsehood, to that which will bring you trouble, to that which will pervert you and lead you astray.

There’s a new resource available now from Matthias Media that does a REALLY great job at helping you (and others) grow your understanding of the big story of Scripture, so that you’ll be more equipped to share it with others.
Learn the Gospel by Tony Payne isn’t just a book. It’s a “Learn Together” book — designed from the ground-up to be most useful in a small group setting.

It’s interactive, with reflection questions and free videos to help you apply and understand the material.
