C.H. Spurgeon's Morning Devotional
Sunday April 6, 2025

"Let us go forth therefore unto Him without the camp."-Hebrews 13:13
    
    Jesus, bearing His cross, went forth to suffer without the gate. The Christian's reason for leaving the camp of the world's sin and religion is not because he loves to be singular, but because Jesus did so; and the disciple must follow his Master. Christ was "not of the world:" His life and His testimony were a constant protest against conformity with the world. Never was such overflowing affection for men as you find in Him; but still He was separate from sinners. In like manner Christ's people must "go forth unto Him." They must take their position "without the camp," as witness-bearers for the truth. They must be prepared to tread the straight and narrow path. They must have bold, unflinching, lion-like hearts, loving Christ first, and His truth next, and Christ and His truth beyond all the world. Jesus would have His people "go forth without the camp" for their own sanctification. You cannot grow in grace to any high degree while you are conformed to the world. The life of separation may be a path of sorrow, but it is the highway of safety; and though the separated life may cost you many pangs, and make every day a battle, yet it is a happy life after all. No joy can excel that of the soldier of Christ: Jesus reveals Himself so graciously, and gives such sweet refreshment, that the warrior feels more calm and peace in his daily strife than others in their hours of rest. The highway of holiness is the highway of communion. It is thus we shall hope to win the crown if we are enabled by divine grace faithfully to follow Christ "without the camp." The crown of glory will follow the cross of separation. A moment's shame will be well recompensed by eternal honour; a little while of witness-bearing will seem nothing when we are "for ever with the Lord."

Every Boy needs a Hero DVD with Giveaway



One man's broken relationship with his family fills him with the determination to make a difference in his town, and to win back the son he left behind.

His actions begin to have a powerful effect, reaching so far as to turn the heart of a father in prison, and transform a town. After all, every boy needs a HERO.

    I first saw this at Wanda's site and sent a notice to our church youth group. So important! My favorite line: "You need to win him back." I want to see this happen between Burgess Jenkins, Justin Miles, and Ashlee Payne's roles. Restoration; Malachi 4:6. Besides Joe Finn's leadership, what stands out to me especially is: Michael Omartian's music!!
    I have watched the trailer four times. I am a Google Friend Connect friend to your blog (I see my little brown hearts hanging down from the little window); I receive notices via e-mail when you post, and... I would love to win this movie!
    So important to have good family films ~ the trailer brought tears to my eyes. Coming together meaningfully. Kathleen ~ Lane Hill House

    we have a good friend who is a Christian and because of the way coaches in little league baseball are, he decided to coach his sons team. He brings in a lot of our values and Morales. He is a true example of a Christian dad. Would love to give this to him and his son. quilting dash lady at Comcast dot net

    I am not familiar with any of the people in the cast, so I will say I am looking forward to seeing Justin Miles in the movie.
