DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
Dear Savior, will you so deal with us when you wash us, that you shall not only take away the guilt of sin, but the power of it—that henceforth we may treat you better; that holiness and true reverence, and hearty loyalty may be our service all our days. O you, who hung naked on the cross, we pray, we ask you, take our whole body, soul, and spirit, and dwell in it and reign over it, and get your glory from it, while we live and when we die, and when we rise again, and to eternity.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“For every firstborn among the Israelites is mine, both man and animal. I consecrated them to myself on the day I struck down every firstborn in the land of Egypt.” (Number 8:17)
God’s people are the elect; they have escaped from death. In that day when the sword of the Lord was drawn, they were shielded by the blood of the lamb sprinkled on the lintel and on the two side posts; and, henceforth, because they have been thus preserved, they belong to the Lord.
RECOMMENDED RESOURCE
Be encouraged by Spurgeon’s earliest sermons*
If this newsletter encourages you every day, I know you’ll find more encouragement in Spurgeon’s other writings.
Recently, I’ve been really blessed by The Lost Sermons of C. H. Spurgeon, a collection of books featuring Spurgeon’s earliest sermon outlines. This series was recently completed with the publication of the seventh volume.
Up until a few years ago, these sermons were locked away in the archives and weren’t available for reading anywhere. Now, they’re available for our benefit in The Lost Sermons series.
Here’s what you can expect:
- Hundreds of outlines and sermons from Spurgeon’s early ministry
- Full-color scans of Spurgeon’s personal notebooks
- Critical footnotes to connect with Spurgeon’s early influences and later ministry
- Introductions by well-known pastors and scholars
- Beautiful books that will look stunning in your library
- Thousands of pages of gospel-saturated teaching
I highly recommend grabbing the Collector’s Edition series as a Christmas gift for a Spurgeon fan you love. Right now, this beautiful series of books is available for more than $350 off.
I’ve never seen this series so heavily discounted, and I don’t know how long this deal will last, so I hope you’ll grab it today.
