DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
There are some of us that cried to you about our country. You know how, in secret, we groaned and sighed over evil times; and you have begun to hear us already, for which we desire to praise and bless your name. But we would not cease to pray for this land, that you would roll away from it all its sin—that you would deliver it from the curse of drunkenness, from infidelity, from false religion, from ritualism, from rationalism, and every form of evil; and that this land might become a holy land.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“As we have said before, I now say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, a curse be on him!” (Galatians 1:9)
The modern style of speaking is, “Let us fraternize with him; he is a man of original thought. Surely, you would not bind all men down to one mode of speech. Perhaps, if he has made mistakes, you will bring him round to your way of thinking by receiving him kindly into your fellowship.” “No, no;” says Paul, “As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preaches any other gospel unto you than that you have received, let him be accursed.”

Spurgeon lived in a day of theological crisis.
While many of the Christians around him were denying crucial doctrines such as the virgin birth or salvation in Christ alone, Spurgeon stood firm on the Word of God. Spurgeon was a defender of God’s Word and God’s Gospel, even against fierce opposition.
