Some Charles Spurgeon Quotes this morning:

Sometimes, if you begin to sing in a halfhearted mood, you can sing yourself up the ladder. Singing will often make the heart rise.

I would go to the deeps a hundred times to cheer a downcast spirit. It is good for me to have been afflicted, that I might know how to speak a word in season to one that is weary.

How sweet it is to learn the Savior’s love when nobody else loves us! When friends flee, what a blessed thing it is to see that the Savior does not forsake us but still keeps us and holds us fast and clings to us and will not let us go!

1 Corinthians 13:13 King James Version

1 Corinthians 13:13 King James Version
 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

The Commentary below is from Barnes’ Noble on the Bible from the biblehub.com/commentaries

But the greatest of these is charity – Not because it is to “endure” the longest, but because it is the more important virtue; it exerts a wider influence; it is more necessary to the happiness of society; it overcomes more evils. It is the great principle which is to bind the universe in harmony, which unites God to his creatures, and his creatures to himself, and which binds and confederates all holy beings with each other. It is therefore more important, because it pertains to society to the great kingdom of which God is the head, and because it enters into the very conception of a holy and happy organization. Faith and hope rather pertain to individuals; love pertains to society, and is that without which the kingdom of God cannot stand. Individuals may be saved by faith and hope; but the whole immense kingdom of God depends on love. It is, therefore, of more importance than all other graces and endowments; more important than prophecy and miracles, and the gift of tongues and knowledge, because it will survive them all; more important than faith and hope, because, although it may co-exist with them, and though they all shall live forever, yet love enters into the very nature of the kingdom of God; binds society together; unites the Creator and the creature; and blends the interests of all the redeemed, and of the angels, and of God, into one.

The Bible has been re-written so many times that we miss the real message of the Bible when not going back to the original text of the Bible. King James Version is the only one that makes sense to me. It is important to refer back to original because what is written may not be true to the text or what the author was truly saying. Some Bibles leave off other Bible verses and speaking of the Blood of the Lamb. If it was not meant to be in the Bible to begin with then it would have be left out.

Before reading pray and ask God to reveal what He is saying and what He wants you to take away from it. So what ever your translation is, is still fine just refer back to King James Version and see if the translation matches and staying as close to original as possible.

God bless you and your loved ones.
