Just a thought here, how about finding a member that may be bashful about posting.
Maybe ask for a volunteer, their respective job would be posting a daily reading
from Mr. Spurgeons Daily Meditations found here.

Would you like Spurgeon's Devotions in a digitized form? It will save typing them in and I already have them available.

writer I just don't get it.

This Morning's Meditation
C. H. Spurgeon

"The hope which is laid up for you in heaven."—Colossians 1:5.

OUR hope in Christ for the future is the mainspring and the mainstay of our joy here. It will animate our hearts to think often of heaven, for all that we can desire is promised there. Here we are weary and toilworn, but yonder is the land of rest where the sweat of labour shall no more bedew the worker's brow, and fatigue shall be for ever banished. To those who are weary and spent, the word "rest" is full of heaven. We are always in the field of battle; we are so tempted within, and so molested by foes without, that we have little or no peace; but in heaven we shall enjoy the victory, when the banner shall be waved aloft in triumph, and the sword shall be sheathed, and we shall hear our Captain say, "Well done, good and faithful servant." We have suffered bereavement after bereavement, but we are going to the land of the immortal where graves are unknown things. Here sin is a constant grief to us, but there we shall be perfectly holy, for there shall by no means enter into that kingdom anything which defileth. Hemlock springs not up in the furrows of celestial fields. Oh! is it not joy, that you are not to be in banishment for ever, that you are not to dwell eternally in this wilderness, but shall soon inherit Canaan? Nevertheless let it never be said of us, that we are dreaming about the future and forgetting the present, let the future sanctify the present to highest uses. Through the Spirit of God the hope of heaven is the most potent force for the product of virtue; it is a fountain of joyous effort, it is the corner stone of cheerful holiness. The man who has this hope in him goes about his work with vigour, for the joy of the Lord is his strength. He fights against temptation with ardour, for the hope of the next world repels the fiery darts of the adversary. He can labour without present reward, for he looks for a reward in the world to come.

[ConqueredbyLove]

Ah, my friend...I just knew you could do it :)

Thank you for posting that. I really needed to read it and it was the perfect word for me :hug:

Just think.....No more sorrow. I cannot imagine it, but I believe it :hug:

It makes me cry just thinking about it....

Looks like the next thing to do is move this thread out of the testing stage. I'll still need to find somebody to be diligent enough to keep the thread alive and that means posting a new devotional each day. There must be a member that would take job, with your writting I know that wouldn't work and I'm working on some other projects. I guess just wait until somebody sees this and has some free time, or just forget it but I don't want that :help:

This Evening's Meditation
C. H. Spurgeon

"A man greatly beloved."—Daniel 10:11.

CHILD of God, do you hesitate to appropriate this title? Ah! has your unbelief made you forget that you are greatly beloved too? Must you not have been greatly beloved, to have been bought with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot? When God smote His only begotten Son for you, what was this but being greatly beloved? You lived in sin, and rioted in it, must you not have been greatly beloved for God to have borne so patiently with you? You were called by grace and led to a Saviour, and made a child of God and an heir of heaven. All this proves, does it not, a very great and superabounding love? Since that time, whether your path has been rough with troubles, or smooth with mercies, it has been full of proofs that you are a man greatly beloved. If the Lord has chastened you, yet not in anger; if He has made you poor, yet in grace you have been rich. The more unworthy you feel yourself to be, the more evidence have you that nothing but unspeakable love could have led the Lord Jesus to save such a soul as yours. The more demerit you feel, the clearer is the display of the abounding love of God in having chosen you, and called you, and made you an heir of bliss. Now, if there be such love between God and us let us live in the influence and sweetness of it, and use the privilege of our position. Do not let us approach our Lord as though we were strangers, or as though He were unwilling to hear us—for we are greatly beloved by our loving Father. "He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" Come boldly, O believer, for despite the whisperings of Satan and the doubtings of thine own heart, thou art greatly beloved. Meditate on the exceeding greatness and faithfulness of divine love this evening, and so go to thy bed in peace.

Jude, you are very welcome to post the Spurgeon devotionals in the Devotions forum; you can post each as an individual thread on a daily basis, if you wish. I have used several of his morning and/or evening devotions, as well, but do not do so on a daily basis, as we also have some excellent original devotionals being posted there by members here.

This thread is fine for "testing", but I'd encourage you to move the devotionals into the Devotions forum. I would welcome your participation there, if you care to contribute!

btw, I know his works are in the public domain, but if you are going to include the portrait, please make sure there is no copyright on the image, and please read the rules of the Devotions forum at the top before posting. Thanks!

[Jude]

Usually there is a water mark on a portrait but I'll double check, most of what I do is copy and paste because an injury prevents me from using a keyboard for any length of time. thanks for your timely reply and it will be moved to the devotional forum on a not so daily basis. :hug:

Jude
