  • Wisdom gives us perspective so that we aren’t discouraged when times are difficult or arrogant when things are going well. It takes a good deal of spirituality to be able to accept prosperity as well as adversity, for often prosperity does greater damage.

  • Christians must learn to treat each other better. The world is watching us. I talk about this all the time because I surrounded by alleged "Christians" all day, but I watch how they treat each other, and if there were charges pressed against the Christians, there would not be enough evidence to convict them.
    John 13:35
    By this shall all men know that ye are My disciples, if ye have love one to another.

  • NO Digital ID!
    No Digital Dollar!


    BREAKING! - COURT RULES AGE VERIFICATION VIOLATES THE FIRST AMENDMENT - TEXAS!

    In a historic win, the U.S. District Court Western District of Texas Austin Division has found age verification Bill SB2420 is a violation of the First Amendment!

    SB2420 will NOT come into effect on 1st Jan 2026.

    Cloaked as protecting children from online harms, all Age Verification bills hide a hidden agenda: they force adults to identify themselves in order to use basic functions like apps or the internet in general, which is unequivocally a violation of First Amendment right to free speech.

    Louisiana has also recently ruled the same. The Digital ID agenda is being toppled, one brave law team and law-abiding judge at a time.

  • Believer, when you face troubles, do you attempt to do so on your own? Do you rely upon your own wisdom, seek guidance from within, “follow your heart” as so many are apt to advise?

    Consider God’s servant David. When he faced difficulty, “David inquired of the Lord” (2 Sam. 5:23). He did not seek guidance from his friends. He did not turn to men he believed to have wisdom. He did not turn to his royal advisers. And he certainly did not seek inner peace or other direction from within.

    No, when the Philistines cam up against him, “David inquired of the Lord.” It did not matter to David that he had already once defeated them. David did not rest upon his laurels nor trust that, as he had bested the Philistines once before he would be able to do so anew. Instead, he again, as he had previously, sought the Lord’s guidance so that he would not be led astray nor would he lead his people astray.

    Brethren, we ought to follow David’s example. When we face difficulties, we have One to whom we can turn. We need not rely on our own strength, nor should we “lean on [y]our own understanding” (Pr. 3:5), but we should “trust in the Lord with all [y]our heart” (Pr. 3:5).

    Let us always, therefore, as Peter exhorts “humble [y]ourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt [us] at the proper time, casting all [y]our anxiety on Him, because He cares for [us]” (1 Pet. 5:6-7)

    Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions

    Morning, February 9

    "And David enquired of the Lord." 2 Samuel 5:23

    When David made this enquiry he had just fought the Philistines, and gained a signal victory. The Philistines came up in great hosts, but, by the help of God, David had easily put them to flight. Note, however, that when they came a second time, David did not go up to fight them without enquiring of the Lord. Once he had been victorious, and he might have said, as many have in other cases, "I shall be victorious again; I may rest quite sure that if I have conquered once I shall triumph yet again. Wherefore should I tarry to seek at the Lord's hands?" Not so, David. He had gained one battle by the strength of the Lord; he would not venture upon another until he had ensured the same. He enquired, "Shall I go up against them?" He waited until God's sign was given. Learn from David to take no step without God. Christian, if thou wouldst know the path of duty, take God for thy compass; if thou wouldst steer thy ship through the dark billows, put the tiller into the hand of the Almighty. Many a rock might be escaped, if we would let our Father take the helm; many a shoal or quicksand we might well avoid, if we would leave to His sovereign will to choose and to command. The Puritan said, "As sure as ever a Christian carves for himself, he'll cut his own fingers;" this is a great truth. Said another old divine, "He that goes before the cloud of God's providence goes on a fool's errand;" and so he does. We must mark God's providence leading us; and if providence tarries, tarry till providence comes. He who goes before providence, will be very glad to run back again. "I will instruct thee and teach thee in the way which thou shalt go," is God's promise to His people. Let us, then, take all our perplexities to Him, and say, "Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?" Leave not thy chamber this morning without enquiring of the Lord.

(Romans 8:15, 9:4, Galatians 4:4-5, Ephesians 1:4-5) God hates abortion. (Leviticus 18:21, 20:2-5, 2 Kings 10:23, Jeremiah 32:35) Pray that the LORD will work in their hearts and change their minds about destroying their unborn babies.

  • Brethren, we ought always to pray for one another. Paul exhorts us to such prayer in Ephesians when he writes, “With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints” (Eph. 6:18).

    Likewise, James encourages us to “pray for one another” (Jas. 5:16). This is important. Not only that we may look after each others’ welfare and desires. Prayer draws us close. Prayer is intimate.

    In order to pray for someone that person first must share what is on his or her mind and heart. Yes, we can pray generically, but to pray for someone’s needs, those needs must be made known to us.

    And just as prayer draws us close to God, praying for and with one another draws us close to each other.

    And the context of James’ statement is that of praying for healing and forgiveness of sin. Do not allow fear of judgement to prevent you seeking prayer. And when a brother or sister comes to you for prayer, do not stand in judgement, but petition the Lord for your brother’s forgiveness.

    In the book of Numbers, Moses did this many times over for Israel, even when they grumbled against him and the Lord, and the Lord’s wrath was turned.

    Let us therefore seek the Lord in prayer on one another’s behalf, as Paul did, telling the Colossians that he gave thanks to God for them, and prayed always for them (Col. 1:3).

    Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions

    Evening, February 6

    "Pray one for another." James 5:16

    As an encouragement cheerfully to offer intercessory prayer, remember that such prayer is the sweetest God ever hears, for the prayer of Christ is of this character. In all the incense which our Great High Priest now puts into the golden censer, there is not a single grain for Himself. His intercession must be the most acceptable of all supplications- and the more like our prayer is to Christ's, the sweeter it will be; thus while petitions for ourselves will be accepted, our pleadings for others, having in them more of the fruits of the Spirit, more love, more faith, more brotherly kindness, will be, through the precious merits of Jesus, the sweetest oblation that we can offer to God, the very fat of our sacrifice. Remember, again, that intercessory prayer is exceedingly prevalent. What wonders it has wrought! The Word of God teems with its marvellous deeds. Believer, thou hast a mighty engine in thy hand, use it well, use it constantly, use it with faith, and thou shalt surely be a benefactor to thy brethren. When thou hast the King's ear, speak to Him for the suffering members of His body. When thou art favoured to draw very near to His throne, and the King saith to thee, "Ask, and I will give thee what thou wilt," let thy petitions be, not for thyself alone, but for the many who need His aid. If thou hast grace at all, and art not an intercessor, that grace must be small as a grain of mustard seed. Thou hast just enough grace to float thy soul clear from the quicksand, but thou hast no deep floods of grace, or else thou wouldst carry in thy joyous bark a weighty cargo of the wants of others, and thou wouldst bring back from thy Lord, for them, rich blessings which but for thee they might not have obtained:

    "Oh, let my hands forget their skill,
    My tongue be silent, cold, and still,
    This bounding heart forget to beat,
    If I forget the mercy-seat!"

  • Beloved brethren, the importance of prayer in our lives can never be overstated. As with any relationship, if we wish to draw near to God, we must communicate. He communicates to us through His word and by His Spirit, and we communicate with Him through prayer.

    In our flesh, we tend to pray when we are in need, when we struggle, when situations seem dire. Yet we ought also to pray when we are well, when we are blessed, when all seems right.

    Thus, Paul urges us, “pray at all times” (Eph. 6:18). We are to come to God with our needs. We are to come to God to make petition for others. We are to pray for all men (1 Tim. 2:1), and for those in government (1 Tim. 2:2). We are to pray for the sick (Jas. 5:16). We are to pray for our enemies, for those who persecute us (Mt. 5:44). We are to come to God with our anxieties, our concerns, with thanksgiving and praise.

    Clearly this does not mean we need to join a monastery, nor spend 24 hours per day, 7 days per week on our knees. What it does mean is that, inasmuch as possible, we are to recognize God’s presence in our lives at all times. We are to take time to separate ourselves and pray, as Jesus Himself often did (Lk. 5:16).

    Realize also that our prayers aren’t simply about getting what we ask for. Prayers are not quarters, and God is not a cosmic candy dispenser. God does answer prayer, though not always as we wish. But the end goal of prayer shouldn’t be to bend God to our will, but to conform our will to His, and thus to be conformed to the likeness of Christ who prayed, “not as I will, but as you will” (Mt. 26:39; Lk. 22:42).

    Let us therefore humble ourselves before the mighty hand of God and cast our anxiety on Him, because He cares for us (1 Pet. 5:6-7). Let us come to Him, not harboring worry, but giving thanks, presenting to Him our requests and He will give us a peace that surpasses all understanding (Phil. 4:6-7). Let us pray at all times that we might draw near to Him, and He will draw near to us (Jas. 4:8).

    Morning, February 6

    "Praying always." Ephesians 6:18

    What multitudes of prayers we have put up from the first moment when we learned to pray. Our first prayer was a prayer for ourselves; we asked that God would have mercy upon us, and blot out our sin. He heard us. But when He had blotted out our sins like a cloud, then we had more prayers for ourselves. We have had to pray for sanctifying grace, for constraining and restraining grace; we have been led to crave for a fresh assurance of faith, for the comfortable application of the promise, for deliverance in the hour of temptation, for help in the time of duty, and for succour in the day of trial. We have been compelled to go to God for our souls, as constant beggars asking for everything. Bear witness, children of God, you have never been able to get anything for your souls elsewhere. All the bread your soul has eaten has come down from heaven, and all the water of which it has drank has flowed from the living rock- Christ Jesus the Lord. Your soul has never grown rich in itself; it has always been a pensioner upon the daily bounty of God; and hence your prayers have ascended to heaven for a range of spiritual mercies all but infinite. Your wants were innumerable, and therefore the supplies have been infinitely great, and your prayers have been as varied as the mercies have been countless. Then have you not cause to say, "I love the Lord, because He hath heard the voice of my supplication"? For as your prayers have been many, so also have been God's answers to them. He has heard you in the day of trouble, has strengthened you, and helped you, even when you dishonoured Him by trembling and doubting at the mercy-seat. Remember this, and let it fill your heart with gratitude to God, who has thus graciously heard your poor weak prayers. "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits."
