Charles Spurgeon was a popular Baptist minister in London in mid-Victorian times; his ministry was highly influential and had a significant effect on many families in London and further afield. It was difficult to find a hall large enough to accommodate the crowd who wished to hear him. At times the Royal Surrey Gardens’ Music Hall was hired to accomodate the Sunday congregation; this could seat 10,000 but large numbers were unable to gain admittance. His world-wide heritage is very much wit ...

HE WHO SPOKE and wrote this message will be greatly disappointed if it does not lead many to the Lord Jesus. It is sent forth in childlike dependence upon the power of God the Holy Ghost, to use it in the conversion of millions, if so He pleases. No doubt many poor men and women will take up this little volume, and the Lord will visit them with grace. To answer this end, the very plainest language has been chosen, and many homely expressions have been used. But if those of wealth and rank sh ...

“A living dog is better than a dead lion.” — Ecclesiastes 9:4 Life is a precious thing, and in its humblest form it is superior to death. This truth is eminently certain in spiritual things. It is better to be the least in the kingdom of heaven than the greatest out of it. The lowest degree of grace is superior to the noblest development of unregen…

30 de Setembro. Salmodiai a glória do seu nome, dai glória ao seu louvor. (Salmos 66.2) Quer louvemos a Deus, quer não, fazer isso não é opcional. O louvor é um direito de Deus; e todo crente, como recipiente da graça de Deus, está obrigado a louvá-Lo, todos os dias. É verdade que não temos uma regra oficial para louvor diário; não temos nenhum man…

~ Around the Wicket Gate ~Almost Saved, But Altogether Lost Here in Chapter 3, Spurgeon explores the necessity of personal faith in Jesus for salvation, stressing that it’s not enough to acknowledge Christ’s sufficiency without actively seeking refuge in Him. Through vivid analogies, Spurgeon illustrates how faith involves running to Christ, much l…

“Sing forth the honour of His name, make His praise glorious.” — Psalm 66:2 It is not left to our own option whether we shall praise God or not. Praise is God’s most righteous due, and every Christian, as the recipient of His grace, is bound to praise God from day to day. It is true we have no authoritative rubric for daily praise; we have no comma…

“I found Him whom my soul loveth: I held Him, and would not let Him go.” — Song of Solomon 3:4 Does Christ receive us when we come to Him, notwithstanding all our past sinfulness? Does He never chide us for having tried all other refuges first? And is there none on earth like Him? Is He the best of all the good, the fairest of all the fair? Oh, the…

“Behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague.” — Leviticus 13:13 Strange enough this regulation appears, yet there was wisdom in it, for the throwing out of the disease proved that the constitution was sound. This morning it may be well for us to see the typical teaching of so singular a rule…

29 de Setembro. Se a lepra cobriu toda a sua carne, declarará limpo o que tem a mancha. (Levítico 13.13) Esta norma parece estranha, mas continha sabedoria, visto que a expulsão da enfermidade comprovava que a constituição do homem estava saudável. Neste dia, seria bom para nós vermos o ensinamento característico de uma regra tão incomum. Também so…

“Go again seven times.” — 1 Kings 18:43 Success is certain when the Lord has promised it. Although you may have pleaded month after month without evidence of answer, it is not possible that the Lord should be deaf when His people are earnest in a matter which concerns His glory. The prophet on the top of Carmel continued to wrestle with God, and ne…

“The Lord looketh from heaven; He beholdeth all the sons of men.” — Psalm 33:13 Perhaps no figure of speech represents God in a more gracious light than when He is spoken of as stooping from His throne, and coming down from heaven to attend to the wants and to behold the woes of mankind. We love Him, who, when Sodom and Gomorrah were full of iniqui…

28 de Setembro. O SENHOR olha dos céus; vê todos os filhos dos homens. (Salmos 33.13) Talvez nenhuma outra figura de linguagem retrate a Deus de maneira tão brilhante quanto a figura que O apresenta descendo do seu trono, vindo do céu para atender às necessidades e contemplar os problemas da humanidade. Amamos Aquele que, ao ver as cidades de Sodor…

“My Beloved put in His hand by the hole of the door, and my bowels were moved for Him.” — Song of Solomon 5:4 Knocking was not enough, for my heart was too full of sleep, too cold and ungrateful to arise and open the door, but the touch of His effectual grace has made my soul bestir itself. Oh, the longsuffering of my Beloved, to tarry when He foun…

“Happy art thou, O Israel; who is like unto thee, O people saved by the Lord!” — Deuteronomy 33:29 He who affirms that Christianity makes men miserable, is himself an utter stranger to it. It were strange indeed, if it made us wretched, for see to what a position it exalts us! It makes us sons of God. Suppose you that God will give all the happines…

27 de Setembro. Feliz és tu, ó Israel! Quem é como tu? Povo salvo pelo SENHOR (Deuteronômio 33.29) A pessoa que imagina o cristianismo como uma religião que torna o homem miserável desconhece completamente a natureza do cristianismo. Seria realmente estranho se o cristianismo nos tornasse miseráveis, pois vejam a que posição o cristianismo nos exal…

“Howl, fir tree, for the cedar is fallen.” — Zechariah 11:2 When in the forest there is heard the crash of a falling oak, it is a sign that the woodman is abroad, and every tree in the whole company may tremble lest to-morrow the sharp edge of the axe should find it out. We are all like trees marked for the axe, and the fall of one should remind us…

“The myrtle trees that were in the bottom.” — Zechariah 1:8 The vision in this chapter describes the condition of Israel in Zechariah’s day; but being interpreted in its aspect towards us, it describes the Church of God as we find it now in the world. The Church is compared to a myrtle grove flourishing in a valley. It is hidden, unobserved, secret…

26 de Setembro. As murteiras que havia num vale profundo. (Zacarias 1.8) A visão deste capítulo descreve a condição do povo de Israel nos dias do profeta Zacarias. Interpretada em seus aspectos para nós, esta passagem descreve a igreja de Deus como a encontramos hoje no mundo. A igreja é comparada a um bosque de murteiras florescendo em um vale. Es…

“Who of God is made unto us wisdom.” — 1 Corinthians 1:30 Man’s intellect seeks after rest, and by nature seeks it apart from the Lord Jesus Christ. Men of education are apt, even when converted, to look upon the simplicities of the cross of Christ with an eye too little reverent and loving. They are snared in the old net in which the Grecians were…

“Just, and the justifier of him which believeth.” — Romans 3:26 Being justified by faith, we have peace with God. Conscience accuses no longer. Judgment now decides for the sinner instead of against him. Memory looks back upon past sins, with deep sorrow for the sin, but yet with no dread of any penalty to come; for Christ has paid the debt of His …

25 de Setembro. Justo e o justificador daquele que tem fé. (Romanos 3.26) "Justificados, pois, mediante a fé, temos paz com Deus" (Romanos 5.1). A consciência não mais nos acusa. Agora, o julgamento decide a favor e não contra o pecador. A memória olha para trás, considera os pecados cometidos e sente tristeza por causa deles. Todavia, não sente te…

“I sleep, but my heart waketh.” — Song of Solomon 5:2 Paradoxes abound in Christian experience, and here is one — the spouse was asleep, and yet she was awake. He only can read the believer’s riddle who has ploughed with the heifer of his experience. The two points in this evening’s text are — a mournful sleepiness and a hopeful wakefulness. I slee…

“For I was ashamed to require of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way: because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them for good that seek Him; but His power and His wrath is against all them that forsake Him.” — Ezra 8:22 A convoy on many accounts would have been desirabl…

24 de Setembro. Porque tive vergonha de pedir ao rei exército e cavaleiros para nos defenderem do inimigo no caminho, porquanto já lhe havíamos dito: A boa mão do nosso Deus é sobre todos os que o buscam, para o bem deles; mas a sua força e a sua ira, contra todos os que o abandonam. (Esdras 8.22) Um regimento armado teria sido desejável para os pe…

“Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe.” — Mark 9:23 A certain man had a demoniac son, who was afflicted with a dumb spirit. The father, having seen the futility of the endeavours of the disciples to heal his child, had little or no faith in Christ, and therefore, when he was bidden to bring his son to Him, he said to Jesus, “If Thou cast do a…

“Accepted in the beloved.” — Ephesians 1:6 What a state of privilege! It includes our justification before God, but the term acceptance” in the Greek means more than that. It signifies that we are the objects of divine complacence, nay, even of divine delight. How marvellous that we, worms, mortals, sinners, should be the objects of divine love! Bu…

23 de Setembro. Para louvor da glória de sua graça, que ele nos concedeu gratuitamente no Amado. (Efésios 1.6) Que privilégio! Isto inclui nossa justificação diante de Deus. Mas o termo "concedeu gratuitamente" significa muito mais do que isso. Significa que somos objetos do prazer divino, ou mais ainda, do encanto divino. Quão maravilhoso é o fato…

“When my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the Rock that is higher than I.” — Psalm 61:2 Most of us know what it is to be overwhelmed in heart; emptied as when a man wipeth a dish and turneth it upside down; submerged and thrown on our beam ends like a vessel mastered by the storm. Discoveries of inward corruption will do this, if the Lord permits t…

“Let Israel rejoice in him.” — Psalm 149:2 Be glad of heart, O believer, but take care that thy gladness has its spring in the Lord. Thou hast much cause for gladness in thy God, for thou canst sing with David, “God, my exceeding joy.” Be glad that the Lord reigneth, that Jehovah is King! Rejoice that He sits upon the throne, and ruleth all things!…

22 de Setembro. Regozije-se Israel no seu Criador. (Salmos 149.2) Crente, seja alegre de coração, mas certifique-se de que a fonte de sua alegria seja o Senhor. Você tem muitas razões de regozijo em seu Deus, e, com Davi, pode cantar: "Deus...minha grande alegria" (Salmos 43.4). Regozije-se em que o Senhor reina, que Jeová é Rei! Regozije-se em que…

“Gather not my soul with sinners.” — Psalm 26:9 Fear made David pray thus, for something whispered, “Perhaps, after all, thou mayst be gathered with the wicked.” That fear, although marred by unbelief, springs, in the main, from holy anxiety, arising from the recollection of past sin. Even the pardoned man will enquire, “What if at the end my sins …

“I will rejoice over them to do them good.” — Jeremiah 32:41 How heart-cheering to the believer is the delight which God has in His saints! We cannot see any reason in ourselves why the Lord should take pleasure in us; we cannot take delight in ourselves, for we often have to groan, being burdened; conscious of our sinfulness, and deploring our unf…

21 de Setembro. Alegrar-me-ei por causa deles e lhes farei bem. (Jeremias 32.41) O deleite que Deus tem nos seus santos é um motivo de júbilo para o crente. Não podemos ver em nós mesmos qualquer razão para que Deus encontre prazer em nós. Não podemos achar deleite em nós mesmos, porque frequentemente temos de lamentar, por estarmos sobrecarregados…
