Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" November 1st

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening"  November 1st Morning “We preach Christ crucified.” Acts 13:1-16 , Acts 13:38-42 Acts 13:1-3 Here we have the solemn setting apart of the first missionaries. Out of a living and flourishing church the Lord raised up fit men, and their brethren with humble prayer sent them forth. Acts 13:4 Here begin the voyages and travels of that greatest of missionaries, Saul of Tarsus, late an enemy of the cross. He chartered the first foreign missionary ship. Acts 13:5 John or John Mark Acts 13:5 to their minister or attendant Acts 13:6 , Acts 13:7 Bar-jesus or Son of Jesus Acts 13:9 , Acts 13:10 He called himself “son of Jesus,” but Paul called him “child of the devil;” he had also taken the name of Elymas, or wise, but he is rightly described as full of all subtilty and mischief. Acts 13:11 He who had refused spiritual light, now lost natural light; he tried to lead others astray, and became dependent upon the leading of others’ Acts 13:13...

Days of Heaven Upon Earth Devotional for November 1

 Days of Heaven Upon Earth Devotional for November 1 “We will come unto him and make our abode with him” (John 14:23) This idea of trying to get a holiness of your own, and then have Christ reward you for it, is not His teaching. Oh, no; Christ is the holiness; He will bring the holiness, and come and dwell in the heart forever. When one of our millionaires purchases a lot, with an old shanty on it, he does not fix up the old shanty, but he gets a second-hand man, if he will have it, to tear it down, and he puts a mansion in its place. It is not fixing up the house that you need, but to give Christ the vacant lot, and He will excavate below our old life and build a house where He will live forever. Now that is what we mean when we say that Christ will be the preparation for the blessing, and make way for His own approach. It is as when a great Assyrian king used to set out on a march. He did not command the people to make a road, but he sent on his own men, and they cut down the tr...

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for November 1

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for November 1 “Perfection and Preservation ”  - 1 Thessalonians 5:24 What will He do? He will sanctify us wholly. See the previous verse. He will carry on the work of purification till we are perfect in every part. He will preserve our "whole spirit, and soul, and body, blameless unto the coming of our LORD Jesus Christ." He will not allow us to fall from grace, nor come under the dominion of sin. What great favors are these! Well may we adore the giver of such unspeakable gifts.  Who will do this? The LORD who has called us out of darkness into His marvelous light, out of death in sin into eternal life in Christ Jesus. Only He can do this: such perfection and preservation can only come from the God of all grace.  Why will He do it? Because He is "faithful"--faithful to His own promise which is pledged to save the believer; faithful to His Son, whose reward it is that His people shall he presented...

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for November 1

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for November 1 Tozer in the Morning GOD KNOWS THE HYPOCRITES I do not consider that it is my place as a Christian to stand around making judgments and calling other people "hypocrites." Our Lord Jesus Christ is the only man I know who was holy and perfect enough to call the religious leaders of the day hypocrites. I am just a man with faults and shortcomings of my own, and I must always consider myself lest I be tempted! I preach to my own congregation about our faults and our failings, with the warning that some of our professions of blessing and victory may get into the area of "umntentional hypocrisy." Through the grace of God and the kindness of our spiritual ancestors we may have spiritual light that some others do not have-but in all honesty, we are wretchedly far below what we should be in living up to it, day by day. It helps us to be honest and frank and humble to know that the great God Almighty knows the sec...

G-d's Minute 1st November 2026

  G-d's Minute 1st November 2026  BE OF GOOD COURAGE, AND HE SHALL STRENGTHEN   YOUR HEART, ALL YOU WHO HOPE IN THE LORD.                        ( PSALM 31:24 *NKJV )      Our hope is in the Lord, because it flows to those who put   their faith and trust in Him with all of their heart.  For; FAITH IS THE   SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR, THE EVIDENCE OF   THINGS NOT SEEN.  ( HEBREWS 11:1 ) Thus the   more faith we have the more hope we will have as well.       We also gain hope and faith through reading the Scriptures,   for it is written; FOR WHATEVER THINGS WERE WRITTEN   BEFORE WERE WRITTEN FOR OUR LEARNING, THAT WE   THROUGH THE PATIENCE AND COMFORT OF THE   SCRIPTURES MIGHT HAVE HOPE.  ( ROMANS 15:4 )      So if you are running a little low on hope right now, ha...

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 1st November 2026

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 1st November 2026 November 1 Psalms 130:3-6 3If you, O LORD, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand? 4But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are feared. 5I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope. 6My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning. The LORD does keep a record of sins. Every idle word we speak, we will give an account of in the Day of Judgment (Matthew 12:36). BUT -- That word must be the most valuable conjunction to man. "But with You there is forgiveness!" Since we know it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to wash away sins (Hebrews 10:4), the psalmist's words can only be looking forward to the justice of God born by the Son of God. The ransom of our soul is precious indeed. It removes all our sins as far as the east from the west. If there is forgiveness with God, one would imagine that fear would then have no...
