DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
Our Father, we worship and love you; and it is one point of our worship that you are holy. There was a time was when we loved you for your mercy; we knew no more; but now you have changed our hearts and made us in love with goodness, purity, justice, true holiness; and we understand now why “the cherubim and seraphim continually do cry, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts.” We adore you because you are holy, and we love you for your infinite perfection.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you.” (1 Peter 1:4)
Our inheritance is undefiled, for it was won by the obedience, the perfection, and sufferings of Jesus. No thought of wrong was used in the getting of the portion of the well-beloved of God. An inheritance may be defiled after it is possessed, but heaven never shall be. Satan shall never enter there, nor sin of any kind pass through the gate of pearl. What a joy is this! Defilement is on everything in this fallen world. We cannot purge ourselves completely; earthly things all bring a measure of defilement with them. But up there our portion shall not be stained with sin; we shall be perfect, and all around us perfect too.

A Hands-On Bible Study for Real Men
I created The God Centered Husband Bible Study Workbook to teach men two things:
- How to be the husbands God has called them to be.
- How to study the Bible for themselves (not just skim it)
The secret to becoming a godly husband is not making your life revolve around your wife, but centering your life on God. So this hands-on Bible study will leave you amazed at God’s grace and empowered to be a more Christ-like leader.
Grab copies for yourself, a small group, or one-on-one discipleship.
