“Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels.” -Revelation 12:7 War always will rage between the two great sovereignties until one or other be crushed. Peace between good and evil is an impossibility; the very pretence of it would, in fact, be the triumph of the powers of darkness. Michael will always fight; his holy soul is vexed with sin, and will not endure it. Jesus will always be the dragon’s foe, and […] The post Charles Spurgeon’s “Morning and Evening” – November 30, Evening appeared first on Theology Mix.

“And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, The Lord is able to give thee much more than this.” -2 Chronicles 25:9 A very important question this seemed to be to the king of Judah, and possibly it is of even more weight with the tried and tempted O Christian. To lose money is at no […] The post Charles Spurgeon’s “Morning and Evening” – November 30, Morning appeared first on Theology Mix.

“Spices for anointing oil.”-Exodus 35:8 Much use was made of this anointing oil under the law, and that which it represents is of primary importance under the gospel. The Holy Spirit, who anoints us for all holy service, is indispensable to us if we would serve the Lord acceptably. Without his aid our religious services are but a vain oblation, and our inward experience is a dead thing. Whenever our ministry is without unction, what miserable stuff it becomes! nor […] The post Charles Spurgeon’s “Morning and Evening” – November 29, Evening appeared first on Theology Mix.

“Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people … Thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.” -Leviticus 19:16-17 Tale-bearing emits a threefold poison; for it injures the teller, the hearer, and the person concerning whom the tale is told. Whether the report be true or false, we are by this precept of God’s Word forbidden to spread it. The reputations of the Lord’s people should be very precious […] The post Charles Spurgeon’s “Morning and Evening” – November 29, Morning appeared first on Theology Mix.

“Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him.” -John 12:2 He is to be envied. It was well to be Martha and serve, but better to be Lazarus and commune. There are times for each purpose, and each is comely in its season, but none of the trees of the garden yield such clusters as the vine of fellowship. To sit with Jesus, to hear his words, to mark his acts, and receive his smiles, was […] The post Charles Spurgeon’s “Morning and Evening” – November 21, Evening appeared first on Theology Mix.

“Grieve not the Holy Spirit.”-Ephesians 4:30 All that the believer has must come from Christ, but it comes solely through the channel of the Spirit of grace. Moreover, as all blessings thus flow to you through the Holy Spirit, so also no good thing can come out of you in holy thought, devout worship, or gracious act, apart from the sanctifying operation of the same Spirit. Even if the good seed be sown in you, yet it lies dormant except […] The post Charles Spurgeon’s “Morning and Evening” – November 21, Morning appeared first on Theology Mix.

“The conies are but a feeble folk, yet make they their houses in the rocks.”-Proverbs 30:26 Conscious of their own natural defencelessness, the conies resort to burrows in the rocks, and are secure from their enemies. My heart, be willing to gather a lesson from these feeble folk. Thou art as weak and as exposed to peril as the timid cony; be as wise to seek a shelter. My best security is within the munitions of an immutable Jehovah, where […] The post Charles Spurgeon’s “Morning and Evening” – November 20, Evening appeared first on Theology Mix.

“O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul.”-Lamentations 3:58 Observe how positively the prophet speaks. He doth not say, “I hope, I trust, I sometimes think, that God hath pleaded the causes of my soul;” but he speaks of it as a matter of fact not to be disputed. “Thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul.” Let us, by the aid of the gracious Comforter, shake off those doubts and fears which so much mar our peace […] The post Charles Spurgeon’s “Morning and Evening” – November 20, Morning appeared first on Theology Mix.

“O that I knew where I might find him!” –Job 23:3 In Job’s uttermost extremity he cried after the Lord. The longing desire of an afflicted child of God is once more to see his Father’s face. His first prayer is not “O that I might be healed of the disease which now festers in every part of my body!” nor even “O that I might see my children restored from the jaws of the grave, and my property once […] The post Charles Spurgeon’s “Morning and Evening” – November 19, Evening appeared first on Theology Mix.

“Avoid foolish questions.” –Titus 3:9 Our days are few, and are far better spent in doing good, than in disputing over matters which are, at best, of minor importance. The old schoolmen did a world of mischief by their incessant discussion of subjects of no practical importance; and our Churches suffer much from petty wars over abstruse points and unimportant questions. After everything has been said that can be said, neither party is any the wiser, and therefore the discussion […] The post Charles Spurgeon’s “Morning and Evening” – November 19, Morning appeared first on Theology Mix.

“Thou art from everlasting.” -Psalm 93:2 Christ is Everlasting. Of him we may sing with David, “Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever.” Rejoice, believer, in Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever. Jesus always was. The Babe born in Bethlehem was united to the Word, which was in the beginning, by whom all things were made. The title by which Christ revealed himself to John in Patmos was, “Him which is, and which was, and which is […] The post Charles Spurgeon’s “Morning and Evening” – November 18, Evening appeared first on Theology Mix.

“A spring shut up, a fountain sealed.” -Song of Solomon 4:12 In this metaphor, which has reference to the inner life of a believer, we have very plainly the idea of secrecy. It is a spring shut up: just as there were springs in the East, over which an edifice was built, so that none could reach them save those who knew the secret entrance; so is the heart of a believer when it is renewed by grace: there is […] The post Charles Spurgeon’s “Morning and Evening” – November 18, Morning appeared first on Theology Mix.

“He that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby.” -Ecclesiastes 10:9 Oppressors may get their will of poor and needy men as easily as they can split logs of wood, but they had better mind, for it is a dangerous business, and a splinter from a tree has often killed the woodman. Jesus is persecuted in every injured saint, and he is mighty to avenge his beloved ones.

“To whom be glory forever. Amen” –Romans 11:36 “To whom be glory forever.” This should be the single desire of the Christian. All other wishes must be subservient and tributary to this one. The Christian may wish for prosperity in his business, but only so far as it may help him to promote this–“To him be glory forever.” He may desire to attain more gifts and more graces, but it should only be that “To him may be glory forever.” […] The post Charles Spurgeon’s “Morning and Evening” – November 17, Morning appeared first on Theology Mix.

“Thine eyes shall see the King in his beauty.” -Isaiah 33:17 The more you know about Christ the less will you be satisfied with superficial views of him; and the more deeply you study his transactions in the eternal covenant, his engagements on your behalf as the eternal Surety, and the fulness of his grace which shines in all his offices, the more truly will you see the King in his beauty. Be much in such outlooks. Long more and […] The post Charles Spurgeon’s “Morning and Evening” – November 16, Evening appeared first on Theology Mix.
