DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
We worship the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit with all the powers of our being. We prostrate ourselves before the awe-inspiring yet glorious throne of the infinite majesty of heaven. Lord, accept us as we offer these praises in the name of Jesus.
Take these hearts completely and unite them with your own. Be our heart, soul, life, and everything, for whom do we have in heaven but you? There is no one on earth we desire besides you.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“And you were dead in your trespasses and sins” (Ephesians 2:1)
Is it so? Could the apostle say that to you, and to me? Look back to what you used to be, to the hole of the pit whence you were trapped: “You he has quickened, were dead in trespasses and sins.”

God Centered Family — PRINT EDITION Family Devotionals NOW AVAILABLE!
Two years ago, I launched God Centered Family with a mission to give parents everything they needed to teach the Bible in just ten minutes each day. Since then, I’ve been providing family devotionals that cover the whole Bible for all ages.
I’m really excited to share that the first PRINT EDITION of these family devotionals are finally available. Paul’s Letters: A God Centered Family Devotional is a 12-week study for parents and kids of all ages. You’ll read, discuss, and apply all of Paul’s New Testament letters (Romans–Philemon). And this devotional is full of bonus interactive material (because we long for our children to become active listeners — to ENJOY the Bible, not just sit through it).
Parents, as you get ready to start the new school year, I hope you’ll grab this family devotional and make God and his Word the center of your home.
