 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for October 31

“Immortal Till Work Done ” 

- Psalms 118:17

A fair assurance this! It was no doubt based upon a promise, inwardly whispered in the psalmist’s heart, which he seized upon and enjoyed. Is my case like that of David? Am I depressed because the enemy affronts me? Are there multitudes against me and few on my side? Does unbelief bid me lie down and die in despair-a defeated, dishonored man? Do my enemies begin to dig my grave? 

What then? Shall I yield to the whisper of fear, and give up the battle, and with it give up all hope? Far from it. There is life in me yet: "I shall not die." Vigor will return and remove my weakness: "I shall live." The LORD lives, and I shall live also. My mouth shall again be opened: "I shall declare the works of Jehovah." Yes, and I shall speak of the present trouble as another instance of the wonder-working faithfulness and love of the LORD my God. Those who would gladly measure me for my coffin had better wait a bit, for "the LORD hath chastened me sore, but he hath not given me over unto death." Glory be to His name forever! I am immortal till my work is done. Till the LORD wills it, no vault can close upon me.

Worthy Brief - July 1, 2026

 Worthy Brief - July 1, 2026  The pure in heart will see the King! Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. There is a purity the world misunderstands. It is not outward behavior or carefully managed reputation, but something deeper — the hidden place of motive, desire, and love. When Yeshua (Jesus) says, "Blessed are the pure in heart," He is not describing external cleanliness. He is describing an inner life realigned with God. Through the Hebraic sense of ashrei (אַשְׁרֵי), we might hear it this way: Oh, what a great blessing belongs to the pure in heart, for they shall see God. This is not shallow happiness but the deep flourishing of a life made clear before the King -- the settled blessedness of a heart no longer divided by competing masters or hidden idols. The Greek word for "pure," katharos, means clean, unmixed, free from defilement — sincere and undivided. Yeshua is not blessing those who appear clean before men. He is blessing t...

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

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for January 1 “ The Bible’s First Promise ”  - Genesis 3:15 This is the first promise to fallen man. It contains the whole gospel and the essence of the covenant of grace. It has been in great measure fulfilled. The seed of the woman, even our LORD Jesus, was bruised in His heel, and a terrible bruising it was. How terrible will be the final bruising of the serpent’s head! This was virtually done when Jesus took away sin, vanquished death, and broke the power of Satan; but it awaits a still fuller accomplishment at our LORD’s second advent and in the Day of Judgment. To us the promise stands as a prophecy that we shall be afflicted by the powers of evil in our lower nature, and thus bruised in our heel; but we shall triumph in Christ, who sets His foot on the old serpent’s head. Through- out this year we may have to learn the first part of this promise by experience, through the temptations of the devil and the unkind...
