by Jim Hughes Prov. 28:23 In the end, people appreciate frankness more than flattery. Flattery makes us feel good, for a little while. Everyone likes to have their ego stroked. We all want to be noticed and appreciated. We are geared to being liked. Some will go out of their way to be […]

by Charles Haddon Spurgeon “Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken” (Isaiah 62:4). “Forsaken” is a dreary word. It sounds like a knell. It is the record of I sharpest sorrows and the prophecy of direst ills. An abyss of misery yawns in that word forsaken. Forsaken by one who pledges his honor! […]

by Charles Haddon Spurgeon “And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many people as a dew from the LORD, as the showers upon the grass, that tarrieth not for man, nor waiteth for the sons of men” (Micah 5:7). If this be true of the literal Israel, much more […]

by Charles Haddon Spurgeon “There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God” (Hebrews 4:9). God has provided a Sabbath, and some must enter into it. Those to whom it was first preached entered not in because of unbelief; therefore, that Sabbath remains for the people of God. David sang of […]

by Jim Hughes Prov. 28:13 People who cover over their sins will not prosper. But if they confess and forsake them, they will receive mercy. It has never worked and it never will. Whenever we try to cover over our sins we make a mess of things and our lives. We may be […]

by Charles Haddon Spurgeon “Knowing that tribulation worketh patience” (Romans 5:3). This is a promise in essence if not in form. We have need of patience, and here we see the way of getting it. It is only by enduring that we learn to endure, even as by swimming men learn to swim. You […]
