C.H. Spurgeon's Morning Devotional
Tuesday July 15, 2025

"The fire shall ever be burning upon the altar; it shall never go out."-Leviticus 6:13
    
    Keep the altar of private prayer burning. This is the very life of all piety. The sanctuary and family altars borrow their fires here, therefore let this burn well. Secret devotion is the very essence, evidence, and barometer, of vital and experimental religion.
    
    Burn here the fat of your sacrifices. Let your closet seasons be, if possible, regular, frequent, and undisturbed. Effectual prayer availeth much. Have you nothing to pray for? Let us suggest the Church, the ministry, your own soul, your children, your relations, your neighbours, your country, and the cause of God and truth throughout the world. Let us examine ourselves on this important matter. Do we engage with lukewarmness in private devotion? Is the fire of devotion burning dimly in our hearts? Do the chariot wheels drag heavily? If so, let us be alarmed at this sign of decay. Let us go with weeping, and ask for the Spirit of grace and of supplications. Let us set apart special seasons for extraordinary prayer. For if this fire should be smothered beneath the ashes of a worldly conformity, it will dim the fire on the family altar, and lessen our influence both in the Church and in the world.
    
    The text will also apply to the altar of the heart. This is a golden altar indeed. God loves to see the hearts of His people glowing towards Himself. Let us give to God our hearts, all blazing with love, and seek His grace, that the fire may never be quenched; for it will not burn if the Lord does not keep it burning. Many foes will attempt to extinguish it; but if the unseen hand behind the wall pour thereon the sacred oil, it will blaze higher and higher. Let us use texts of Scripture as fuel for our heart's fire, they are live coals; let us attend sermons, but above all, let us be much alone with Jesus.

HEAR ME by Kyle Sherman with giveaway


Album Bio
Fort Worth-based singer-songwriter Kyle Sherman recently signed on as the flagship artist to brand new label RayLynn Records, an opportunity that presented itself during a time period when a record deal wasn't even on his radar. 

"It's crazy how God works," Kyle says. 'Five years ago, I pushed pretty hard to do my own thing as a singer-songwriter, but every well I approached would dry up. It clearly wasn't the right time." So Kyle continued on a path of leading worship, taking a full-time role as worship leader at Lifechurch.TV's Fort Worth campus under the leadership of renowned pastor/author Craig Groeschel.

Just 3-years later Kyle made it back to Nashville, pouring his heart into a microphone at Sony studio with veteran producer and country singer-songwriter Mark Collie making his first album. God is faithful. Hear Me, the result of those sessions, is an eclectic and authentic mix of rootsy, southern soul.





OK so I'm a day late.  I just received my hard copy on Saturday in the mail and didn't realize the posting date was so close..So now I'm crunching cause I just saw it was to be posted for view yesterday..YIKES

If you are into contemporary  Christian music then you make like Kyle Sherman and his new CD.  Those that love this flair of music should find a favorite in his songs that he has prepared on this CD.  The songs on the CD portray Kyle's heartfelt love for God.  There is a variety of music genre on this CD. Songs about Heaven, Jesus and God's power. Could be a good stocking stuffer if you are looking for some Christian contemporary music.  I must say first time I listened I wasn't into this CD, I'm not much on contemporary but as I stopped and really listened to the words of the songs they are very good.  I found myself saying those are nice words and thoughts.  I still like nice background music. I also don't like audio books and talk shows too much for my ears I guess.  I don't have time to stop and really think on songs just like the background easy stuff.  So if I stop and listen to the words I will say big hit.
