In fact as we sleep there can rise up within us opposition to the purposes and plans our Lord has for our lives. Opposition is a reality of life and it can ...

In my personal study to prepare my heart for Christmas 2019 I ran across this message by Charles Spurgeon which he preached on December 21, 1862 ( 157 years ago ).

The longer I live in this world the greater I long for the next world-HEAVEN! I can't take the credit for such, it is a work of God in me that is setting me apart (sanctification) for His glory.
