Thru the Bible with Dr. J. Vernon McGee 1 John Intro—1:1
Near the end of his life, the Apostle John, pastor of the church in Ephesus, wrote believers “a family letter” to teach them how to stand firm against heresy, to walk in the light, and grow closer to God. See how these principles still apply to us today.
Thru the Bible - Minute with McGee Dr. J. Vernon McGee
He Died So We Could Live
“God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believed in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Now, He died for the sin of the world. He is the propitiation for our sins; not ours only, but for the sins of the whole world. He died a redemptive death, to pay the penalty of our sin. But He also died for our sins that He might deliver us right here and now from the power of sin. And He wants us to live for Him. He was without spot and without blemish, and He offered Himself for yours and mine and that you and I might live for Him today.

Daily Promises
But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. (Hebrews 3:6)
Through the incredible faithfulness of Christ, we have admission into the glorious kingdom of God! It is by the beautiful sacrifice of Christ that we are made blameless in the sight of the Father. This unbelievable promise causes us to take heart as we hold fast to this great hope until the last day.
Faith In Him Or Faith In Things?
Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? — Galatians 3:3
Instead of having faith in things, we should focus on having faith in Him!

To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the rights of the hearer as well as those of the speaker.

C. H. Spurgeon's Evening Reading (June 11th)
"There brake He the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle." — Psalm 76:3
Our Redeemer's glorious cry of "It is finished," was the death-knell of all the adversaries of His people, the breaking of "the and the battle." Behold the hero of Golgotha using His cross as an anvil, and His woes as a hammer, dashing to shivers bundle after bundle of our sins, those poisoned "arrows of the bow"; trampling on every indictment, and destroying every accusation. What glorious blows the mighty Breaker gives with a hammer far more ponderous than the fabled weapon of Thor! How the diabolical darts fly to fragments, and the infernal bucklers are broken like potters' vessels! Behold, He draws from its sheath of hellish workmanship the dread sword of Satanic power! He snaps it across His knee, as a man breaks the dry wood of a fagot, and casts it into the fire. Beloved, no sin of a believer can now be an arrow mortally to wound him, no condemnation can now be a sword to kill him, for the punishment of our sin was borne by Christ, a full atonement was made for all our iniquities by our blessed Substitute and Surety. Who now accuseth? Who now condemneth? Christ hath died, yea rather, hath risen again. Jesus has emptied the quivers of hell, has quenched every fiery dart, and broken off the head of every arrow of wrath; the ground is strewn with the splinters and relics of the weapons of hell's warfare, which are only visible to us to remind us of our former danger, and of our great deliverance. Sin hath no more dominion over us. Jesus has made an end of it, and put it away for ever. O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end. Talk ye of all the wondrous works of the Lord, ye who make mention of His name, keep not silence, neither by day, nor when the sun goeth to his rest. Bless the Lord, O my soul.
This reminded me of Michael Card's Dragon Slayer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhuftnjYoys
C. H. Spurgeon's Morning Reading (June 12th)
"Thou art weighed in the balances and art found wanting." — Daniel 5:27
It is well frequently to weigh ourselves in the scale of God's Word. You will find it a holy exercise to read some psalm of David, and, as you meditate upon each verse, to ask yourself, "Can I say this? Have I felt as David felt? Has my heart ever been broken on account of sin, as his was when he penned his penitential psalms? Has my soul been full of true confidence in the hour of difficulty as his was when he sang of God's mercies in the cave of Adullam, or in the holds of Engedi? Do I take the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord?" Then turn to the life of Christ, and as you read, ask yourselves how far you are conformed to His likeness. Endeavour to discover whether you have the meekness, the humility, the lovely spirit which He constantly inculcated and displayed. Take, then, the epistles, and see whether you can go with the apostle in what he said of his experience. Have you ever cried out as he did-"O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death"? Have you ever felt his self-abasement? Have you seemed to yourself the chief of sinners, and less than the least of all saints? Have you known anything of his devotion? Could you join with him and say, "For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain"? If we thus read God's Word as a test of our spiritual condition, we shall have good reason to stop many a time and say, "Lord, I feel I have never yet been here, O bring me here! give me true penitence, such as this I read of. Give me real faith; give me warmer zeal; inflame me with more fervent love; grant me the grace of meekness; make me more like Jesus. Let me no longer be 'found wanting,' when weighed in the balances of the sanctuary, lest I be found wanting in the scales of judgment." "Judge yourselves that ye be not judged."
(June 11) Amen! Even a Roman Centurion recognized it as such!
