Spurgeon's Morning and Evening Devotions

Morning, April 8

"If they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?" Luke 23:31

Among other interpretations of this suggestive question, the following is full of teaching: "If the innocent substitute for sinners, suffer thus, what will be done when the sinner himself- the dry tree- shall fall into the hands of an angry God?" When God saw Jesus in the sinner's place, He did not spare Him; and when He finds the unregenerate without Christ, He will not spare them. O sinner, Jesus was led away by His enemies: so shall you be dragged away by fiends to the place appointed for you. Jesus was deserted of God; and if He, who was only imputedly a sinner, was deserted, how much more shall you be? "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" what an awful shriek! But what shall be your cry when you shall say, "O God! O God! why hast Thou forsaken me?" and the answer shall come back, "Because ye have set at nought all My counsel, and would none of My reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh." If God spared not His own Son, how much less will He spare you! What whips of burning wire will be yours when conscience shall smite you with all its terrors. Ye richest, ye merriest, ye most self-righteous sinners- who would stand in your place when God shall say, "Awake, O sword, against the man that rejected Me; smite him, and let him feel the smart for ever"? Jesus was spit upon: sinner, what shame will be yours! We cannot sum up in one word all the mass of sorrows which met upon the head of Jesus who died for us, therefore it is impossible for us to tell you what streams, what oceans of grief must roll over your spirit if you die as you now are. You may die so, you may die now. By the agonies of Christ, by His wounds and by His blood, do not bring upon yourselves the wrath to come! Trust in the Son of God, and you shall never die.

It's the UK so it's normal.

The Christian life isn’t an easy one; it is one filled with trials. But Jesus promised that His burden is light. That is because He helps us to bear it. Do not shy away because you think our will be difficult. Embrace the trials with joy and watch your faith grow.

Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions

Morning, April 5

"On Him they laid the cross, that He might bear it after Jesus." Luke 23:26

We see in Simon's carrying the cross a picture of the work of the Church throughout all generations; she is the cross-bearer after Jesus. Mark then, Christian, Jesus does not suffer so as to exclude your suffering. He bears a cross, not that you may escape it, but that you may endure it. Christ exempts you from sin, but not from sorrow. Remember that, and expect to suffer.

But let us comfort ourselves with this thought, that in our case, as in Simon's, it is not our cross, but Christ's cross which we carry. When you are molested for your piety; when your religion brings the trial of cruel mockings upon you, then remember it is not your cross, it is Christ's cross; and how delightful is it to carry the cross of our Lord Jesus!

You carry the cross after Him. You have blessed company; your path is marked with the footprints of your Lord. The mark of His blood-red shoulder is upon that heavy burden. 'Tis His cross, and He goes before you as a shepherd goes before his sheep. Take up your cross daily, and follow Him.

Do not forget, also, that you bear this cross in partnership. It is the opinion of some that Simon only carried one end of the cross, and not the whole of it. That is very possible; Christ may have carried the heavier part, against the transverse beam, and Simon may have borne the lighter end. Certainly it is so with you; you do but carry the light end of the cross, Christ bore the heavier end.

And remember, though Simon had to bear the cross for a very little while, it gave him lasting honour. Even so the cross we carry is only for a little while at most, and then we shall receive the crown, the glory. Surely we should love the cross, and, instead of shrinking from it, count it very dear, when it works out for us "a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory."

Trump Doing Awesome Even With a Few Disagreements
I’m Not an All-or-Nothing Kind of Guy – Keep MAGA Going!
https://johnhouk.substack.com/p/trump-doing-awesome-even-with-a-few

SUMMARY: If you have read any of my blogs you are aware I am a huge Trump supporter. AND YET I have some issues with some Trump stands… (1 example: mRNA)… EVEN SO, the majority of President Trump’s Executive Actions are something I am on board with. Most importantly, President Trump’s very existence in the White House triggers TDS among Deep State Bureaucrats, Dem-Marxist un-Americans and Establishment RINOs to such a degree they keep shooting themselves in the foot by exposing their true evil nature to the American Public….MORE OPINION TO READ!

https://johnhouk.substack.com/p/where-do-ai-loving-globalists-peg

SUMMARY: … I finished reading two Substack posts on AI: one from Michael Snyder and another from whoever writes for Interest of Justice both posted on March 26… The premise is Wealthy Globalists will use AI to make the NOT-WEALTHY unneeded USELESS HUMANS. To make your thought pondering simpler to comprehend. Artificial Intelligence will enable the Globalist Elitist dream of DEPOPULATING the masses. …DO YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF A USELESS HUMAN?

JFK Files Revelations & Commentaries So Far
https://johnhouk.substack.com/p/jfk-files-revelations-and-commentaries

SUMMARY: … Why would the CIA want to coverup Israeli Intelligence operations mentioned in the JFK Files? Keep in mind, the once redacted and/or hidden mentions of Israeli Intelligence occurred in the 1960s after the JFK assassination. … Here's my speculation which is more balanced than the Jew-Haters speculation: My guess in the 1960s the CIA was using Israeli Intelligence services to do activities on U.S. soil the CIA would rather have plausible deniability about if the CIA got caught in the American Domestic Cookie Jar. …MORE TO READ & NOTABLY A STINCHFIELD VIDEO!

My favorite beer is Baltika 9, it’s Russian beer, 9% alcohol and comes in BIG bottles, each bottle fills 2 mugs and not just 1 paper cup like the others. Too bad all it takes is one Ukrainian war to cut off the good stuff.

Facts vs Lies: A Look at Jew-Hating Pseudo-Palestinians
Yup, I’m a Christian Zionist
https://johnhouk.substack.com/p/facts-vs-lies-a-look-at-jew-hating

SUMMARY: I’ve come to the conclusion Jew-Hating Antisemites exist in every sector of the political scale: Left-to-Right and in between. The Left have largely joined radical Muslims (aka Jihadists or terrorists) to cast hate on Jews. Sadly many Conservatives and Patriots that I otherwise join, hate on Jews because of a history of Jews embracing different degrees Marxism or Socialism. … LOOK AT four videos that examine the faux-Palestinians and Zionism!
