DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)

We adore you because you are holy, and we love you for your infinite perfection. For now we sigh and cry after holiness ourselves. Sanctify us wholly, spirit, soul and body. Lord, we mourn over the sins of our past life and our present shortcomings. We bless you that you have forgiven us; we are reconciled to you by the death of Thy Son. There are many who know that they have been washed, and that he that takes away sin has taken their sin away. These are they who now cry to you to be delivered from the power of sin, to be delivered from the power of temptation without, but especially from indwelling sin within.

Amen.

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“You are being guarded by God’s power through faith for a salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.” (1 Peter 5:5)

What a glorious thing it is to know that the salvation God has given us in Christ is a perfect salvation of our complete selves! Not a hair of your head shall perish. You shall go into the furnace, you shall walk amid the glowing coals of death, but you shall come forth with not a smell of fire passed upon you. At the Lord’s appearing you shall be none the worse for the fall of Adam. You shall be none the worse for your own transgressions; you shall be none the worse for all the scars of battle; you shall be none the worse for dying. You shall be in heaven as bright as God himself could have made you if you had never fallen and never sinned.

Evangelism is an urgent and weighty task. We know that we need to do it (and most of us feel guilty that we don’t do it more), but we have a lot of questions about how to do it right.

I’m really thankful for the way Share the Gospel by Tony Payne (A new resource from Matthias Media) answers so many of these questions. And because this book is rooted in the truth of Scripture, it isn’t full of guilt-trips about missed opportunities — it’s about letting the wonderful grace of God propel us to announce it to everyone and anyone!

This book is one of the most practical resources on evangelism that I’ve seen — it is full of easy-to-use tools to start conversations, transition to the gospel, and share with clarity.

If you want to live faithfully as Christ’s ambassador, you will NOT regret the time you spend in this book.

THIS MONTH ONLY, if you pre-order Share the Gospel, you’ll also receive TWO FREE COPIES of The Christian Gospel (which helps non-Christians understand the Bible’s big story and God’s plan to save sinners through Jesus).
