Charles Spurgeon's "Faith's Checkbook"
We Receive as We Give

Charles Spurgeon's "Morning & Evening"
Morning / Evening Devotional — May 16

We are made partakers of the Divine nature through the promises; then we have to "manipulate" the Divine nature in our human nature by habits, and the first habit to form is the habit of realizing the provision God has made.

'Every Day Light' with Selwyn Hughes
On looking back

It is not difficult to imagine the kind of thoughts that may have been going through Naomi's mind as she dwells on Ruth's first day in the harvest field. How will she fare?

"Today's Word" with Skip Moen
The Un-promised Land

Sweat — So, how's it working out for you? Is life a struggle? Are you eating bread by the sweat of your face? Adam did us no favor by disobeying God. Today, humanity is part of the life-long sorrow syndrome. You're born, you work all your life, you die. That's the implication in the Hebrew word ze'ah. Staying alive takes a lot of effort. We have to… — (click here to read more)
