FOOD FOR THOUGHT – c.h. spurgeon

I believe the man who is not willing to submit to the electing love and sovereign grace of God, has great reason to question whether he is a Christian at all, for the spirit that kicks against that is the spirit of the devil, and the spirit of the unhumbled, unrenewed heart.

******************************

If your religion shines and glitters, and seems to you to be inexpressibly lovely, yet if it has budded out of your own nature, or is the result of your own free will, and is not traceable to the operation of divine grace, and to that alone, do as the man did with the bad banknote – throw it down on the highway, or into a ditch, and run away from it.  Let no one know that the homemade counterfeit belongs to you: for it is worthless now, and it will prove deceptive at the last.  But and if the religion you have received is the work of God, then be certain that he who began the work will perfect it.
C.H. SPURGEON

From A Message By C.H. Spurgeon

One of our evangelists once said that some Christian people, when they first profess to be Christians, are like a man who is going a long distance by rail, but only takes a ticket for a short distance, and then he has to get out and make a rush for new tickets as he goes along.  "Now," said he, "there are other believers who know better and take a ticket all the way through at the first, which is by far the wiser way."  Some trust the Lord to keep them for a quarter of a year, and others for a month, but when I believed in Christ Jesus, I thank his name.  I trusted him to save me to the end.  I sought for and obtained a finished salvation, which is my joy and hope at this moment.  I took a ticket all the way through, and I have not had to get a fresh ticket yet.  I have sometimes thought I should but when I have run to the office they have handed me back my old ticket, the one I lost, the same one as before, and I knew it to be the same, for it bore this stamp upon it – "He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved."

******************************

Peace without truth is a false peace! Unity without the gospel of Christ is a worthless unity. Let us never be ensnared by those who advocate a peace and unity without Christ's righteousness and atoning blood. There was no one who loved peace and unity more than the Apostle Paul; yet when he saw the Apostle Peter act contrary to REDEMPTION BY GRACE (Galatians 2:11), Paul withstood him to his face and publicly rebuked him. We dare not sacrifice our peace with God, in Christ, for the sake of a peaceful co-existence with this religious world. We dare not lose that blessed "fellowship with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ" in order to live without controversy among men. Let us remember the words of our Master, "Do not think that I come to bring peace ON EARTH; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword" (Matthew 10:34).

CALL TO WORSHIP
Charitie Lees Smith (1841–1923)

Before the throne of God above,
I have a strong a perfect plea;
The Great High Priest, whose name is love,
Will ever live and plead for me.

My name is graven on His hands;
My name is written on His heart;
I know that while in heav'n He reigns,
No tongue can bid me to depart.

Because the sinless Saviour died,
My sinful soul is counted free;
For God, the Just, is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me.

Behold Him there, the worthy Lamb!
My perfect, spotless righteousness,
The great unchangeable "I AM,"
The King of glory and of grace.

(Tune:  Doxology)

(2 Peter 1:1-4)  "Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:  Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord, According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:  Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust."
