Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions

Morning, July 20

"The earnest of our inheritance." Ephesians 1:14

Oh! what enlightenment, what joys, what consolation, what delight of heart is experienced by that man who has learned to feed on Jesus, and on Jesus alone. Yet the realization which we have of Christ's preciousness is, in this life, imperfect at the best. As an old writer says, "'Tis but a taste!" We have tasted "that the Lord is gracious," but we do not yet know how good and gracious He is, although what we know of His sweetness makes us long for more. We have enjoyed the firstfruits of the Spirit, and they have set us hungering and thirsting for the fulness of the heavenly vintage. We groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption. Here we are like Israel in the wilderness, who had but one cluster from Eshcol, there we shall be in the vineyard. Here we see the manna falling small, like coriander seed, but there shall we eat the bread of heaven and the old corn of the kingdom. We are but beginners now in spiritual education; for although we have learned the first letters of the alphabet, we cannot read words yet, much less can we put sentences together; but as one says, "He that has been in heaven but five minutes, knows more than the general assembly of divines on earth." We have many ungratified desires at present, but soon every wish shall be satisfied; and all our powers shall find the sweetest employment in that eternal world of joy. O Christian, antedate heaven for a few years. Within a very little time thou shalt be rid of all thy trials and thy troubles. Thine eyes now suffused with tears shall weep no longer. Thou shalt gaze in ineffable rapture upon the splendour of Him who sits upon the throne. Nay, more, upon His throne shalt thou sit. The triumph of His glory shall be shared by thee; His crown, His joy, His paradise, these shall be thine, and thou shalt be co-heir with Him who is the heir of all things.

Epstein List Debacle is a HUGE Chink in Trump Armor:
YET I Still Support Trump Because Dem-Marxist Tyranny is Far Worse!

SUMMARY: I want to write upfront, I AM STILL A TRUMP SUPPORTER! But this post definitely will not come across as Trump supportive. There are plenty of issues for MAGA adherents to criticize about President Trump decisions and Trump Administration actions. … BUT THERE IS A BIGGER PICTURE! I am very convinced if Trump’s TOO BIG TO RIG reelection in 2024 had not happened, more MAGA-Patriots would have joined J6ers in prison AND Dem-Marxist Reeducation Camps would…MORE TO READ!

I left school when I was ten. I've been working and supporting myself ever since. I've been an avid reader and self-educator the whole time. Grateful.

After listening to this episode of @podcast_just, if I had school age children or grandchildren, there is NO WAY I would tolerate their going through the public school system. Your children belong to you, parents...not the school system! Get your kids OUT of public school now!!! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-133-public-education/id1328733796?i=1000702739631

After listening to this episode of the Just Thinking Podcast, I cannot understand how ANY PARENT can allow their children to attend public schools. Education has never been the goal: indoctrination was the end game all along.

I'm glad to see this happening. I voted for this!!! 💪🏾

During a February 20, 2025 White House press briefing, Stephen Miller gave a master class on schooling the press. Unfortunately, he gave them a civics education no more accurate than that coming out of public schools.

Staunton Virginia real estate agent Wilson Fauber, had been found guilty of hate speech by the Virginia Board of Realtors. His violation? A post in 2015 about his support for traditional marriage, that being marriage between a man and woman. His post violated ethic rules of the National Association of Realtors. Wilson has to undergo reeducation classes and pay a fine, or have his real estate license suspended. In other words, you can’t speak biblical truth if you are a real estate agent. Wilson is fighting this. We believers in Christ need to support him.
