Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: September 9th

 Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening" Devotional: September 9th Morning “Have salt in yourselves.” Mark 9:33-44 , Mark 9:49 , Mark 9:50 Mark 9:33 , Mark 9:34 This was the old evil, and it broke forth in many ways and at singular times. The Master spoke of his death, and the disciples spoke of pre-eminence. He was infinitely superior to the best of his followers, and in nothing more evidently so than in the unselfishness of his nature. Oh that we may have grace to keep clear of the apostles fault! Mark 9:38 Surely this was a case of schism! John had in his bosom all the zeal of the high-churchman, and his fellow apostles shared the feeling. This unknown worker honoured the name of Jesus and was clothed in his power, and one would have thought that the apostles would have recognised him as a brother: but no, “ he followeth not us ” was enough to sour all their brotherly kindness, and they forbad the good man to cast out any more devils, or to do anything more in the n...

Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for September 9

 Days of Heaven on Earth Devotional for September 9 “All things are lawful for Me” (1 Corinthians 10:23) I may be perfectly free myself to do many things, the doing of which might hurt my brother and wound his conscience, and love will gladly surrender the little indulgence, that she may save her brother from temptation. There are many questions which are easily settled by this principle. So there are many forms of recreation which, in themselves might be harmless, and, under certain circumstances, unobjectionable, but they have become associated with worldliness and godlessness, and have proved snares and temptations to many a young heart and life; and, therefore, the law of love would lead you to avoid them, discountenance them, and in no way give encouragement to others to participate in them. It is just in these things that are not required of us by absolute rules, but are the impulses of a thoughtful love, that the highest qualities of Christian character show themselves, and ...

Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for September 9

 Morning and Evening with A.W. Tozer Devotional for September 9 Tozer in the Morning "TOWARD THE MARK" It is one of the devil's oldest tricks to discourage Christian believers by causing them to look back at what they once were. It is indeed the enemy of our souls who makes us forget that we are never at the end of God's love. No one will make progress with God until the eyes are lifted to the faithfulness of God and we stop looking at ourselves! Our instructions in the New Testament all add up to the necessity of looking forward in faith-and not spending our time looking back or just looking within. Brethren, our Lord is more than able to take care of our past. He pardons instantly and forgives completely, and his blood makes us worthy! The goodness of God is infinitely more wonderful than we will ever be able to comprehend. If the "root of the matter" is in you and you are born again, God is prepared to start with you where you are! Tozer in the Evening PR...

Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for September 9

 Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook" Devotional for September 9 “Fear Has Its Place ”  - Proverbs 28:14 The fear of the LORD is the beginning and the foundation of all true religion. Without a solemn awe and reverence of God there is no foothold for the more brilliant virtues. He whose soul does not worship will never live in holiness.  He is happy who feels a jealous fear of doing wrong. Holy fear looks not only before it leaps, but even before it moves. It is afraid of error, afraid of neglecting duty, afraid of committing sin. It fears ill company, loose talk, and questionable policy, This does not make a man wretched, but it brings him happiness. The watchful sentinel is happier than the soldier who sleeps at his post. He who foreseeth evil and escapes it is happier than he who walks carelessly on and is destroyed.  Fear of God is a quiet grace which leads a man along a choice road, of which it is written, "No lion shall be there, neither shall any ravenou...

Worthy Brief - September 9, 2026

 Worthy Brief - September 9, 2026 Keep tending the field!  Mark 4:18–19  "Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, 19 and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful." There is something easy to overlook in Yeshua’s (Jesus’) parable. Even good soil needs care. Receiving the seed is just the start of the farmer’s work, not the end. A field can be prepared, planted with good seed, and watered, but weeds can still show up. The farmer doesn’t just say, "But I already prepared this field." He goes back and deals with whatever is competing with the harvest. That’s what cultivation is, and it’s part of our journey with God. Coming to Yeshua doesn’t mean every old desire, habit, fear, or misplaced priority disappears right away. The seed of the Kingdom is truly in us, but the King keeps working on the soil of our hearts. There’s a meaningful picture of this in Eden. Before sin entered the world...

Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 9th September 2026

 Wayside Chapel Daily Devotional 9th September 2026 September 9 Nehemiah 10:28-29 28"The rest of the people-priests, Levites, gatekeepers, singers, temple servants and all who separated themselves from the neighboring peoples for the sake of the Law of God, together with their wives and all their sons and daughters who are able to understand- 29all these now join their brothers the nobles, and bind themselves with a curse and an oath to follow the Law of God given through Moses the servant of God and to obey carefully all the commands, regulations and decrees of the LORD our Lord. After the people had confessed their sins and repented, they took the difficult step of making things right with God. Then they went one step further. They took an oath. They realized how easily they slid back into the ways that destroyed the nation before, so they took an oath binding themselves with a curse if they broke it. The oath begins with the very things they had been most likely to compromise, ...
