C.H. Spurgeon's Evening Devotional

"All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me."-John 6:37
    
    This declaration involves the doctrine of election: there are some whom the Father gave to Christ. It involves the doctrine of effectual calling: these who are given must and shall come; however stoutly they may set themselves against it, yet they shall be brought out of darkness into God's marvellous light. It teaches us the indispensable necessity of faith; for even those who are given to Christ are not saved except they come to Jesus. Even they must come, for there is no other way to heaven but by the door, Christ Jesus. All that the Father gives to our Redeemer must come to Him, therefore none can come to heaven except they come to Christ.
    
    Oh! the power and majesty which rest in the words "shall come." He does not say they have power to come, nor they may come if they will, but they "shall come." The Lord Jesus doth by His messengers, His word, and His Spirit, sweetly and graciously compel men to come in that they may eat of His marriage supper; and this He does, not by any violation of the free agency of man, but by the power of His grace. I may exercise power over another man's will, and yet that other man's will may be perfectly free, because the constraint is exercised in a manner accordant with the laws of the human mind. Jehovah Jesus knows how, by irresistible arguments addressed to the understanding, by mighty reasons appealing to the affections, and by the mysterious influence of His Holy Spirit operating upon all the powers and passions of the soul, so to subdue the whole man, that whereas he was once rebellious, he yields cheerfully to His government, subdued by sovereign love. But how shall those be known whom God hath chosen? By this result: that they do willingly and joyfully accept Christ, and come to Him with simple and unfeigned faith, resting upon Him as all their salvation and all their desire. Reader, have you thus come to 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.
