It is arrogant for skeptics to reject the Bible simply because they do not understand how distant starlight reached the Earth.

How can we grow in prayer?

Watch as @Mike_Reeves reminds us that because we are confident in our salvation, we can be confident in our prayers.

#OTD June 11, 1936:
J. Gresham Machen and other conservatives founded the Presbyterian Church of America after separating from the increasingly liberal PCUSA. In 1939 the new denomination changed its name to the Orthodox Presbyterian Church (OPC), committing itself to historic Reformed doctrine and biblical fidelity.

Like a sophisticated computer system, the genome's complexity and interconnectedness demonstrate the work of a creator who designed it to function seamlessly from the beginning.

[From the Heart of Spurgeon @ReadingSpurgeon]

Our Saviour was the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world, in the purpose, and covenant, and thought of God. His sacrifice saved Adam, and Noah, and Moses, and David, and all the saints, before the name of Calvary had become illustrious. Before he died he stood before John the Baptist, as taking away the sin of the world; and now to-day, though his death is a matter of 1800 years ago, he still “taketh away the sin of the world.” In his person he was ever the Sin-Bearer, and through his death he puts sin away for ever. By one sacrifice he hath for ever put away sin. His eternal merits for ever remain a sweet savour unto the Lord God, and for ever remove the foul offence of human transgression. As the Great Purifier he continually takes away and will continue to take away the sin of the world.

Behold, I set before you an open door. There is everything in my text to induce every one of you who is conscious of guilt to come to the Lord Jesus, and accept him as his substitute and sacrifice. Christ shall take away no man’s sin that doth not believe in him. Christ hath so taken away sin that whosoever believeth in him shall live. If thou wilt come now and lay thy hand on this divine sacrifice thou shalt find it all sufficient, whatsoever the nature of thy guilt may be. O delightful gospel! How sweet to preach it!

My hope, my joy, my very being hinge on my Lord’s substitution. This truth is woven into the warp and woof of my being. Jesus suffered in my stead.

[From the Heart of Spurgeon @ReadingSpurgeon]

I thank God I have a definition of the atonement which is to me most clear, sure, and full of comfort. Here it is—“He his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree.” I can live by that, and I can live by that. I am sick to death of the ever-repeated cant about “theory of the atonement”; I have no theory, for I believe in atonement itself. God keep us steadfast in the faith once delivered to the saints, and our consolation will abound.

[From the Heart of Spurgeon @ReadingSpurgeon]

Long ago I ceased to count heads. Truth is usually in the minority in this evil world. I have faith in the Lord Jesus for myself, a faith burned into me as with a hot iron. I thank God, what I believe I shall believe, even if I believe it alone. If I am the last man to glory in the substitution of the Lord Jesus, I shall count myself honoured to bear his cross alone.

#Spurgeon #s1987

[From the Heart of Spurgeon @ReadingSpurgeon]

God causes an awakened conscience to require that which his justice requires. The demand of the conscience is the echo of the demand of the divine government. Conscience requires atonement because the necessity of the case and the nature of God require it.
