DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
We thank you, Lord, for the love without beginning which chose us before the earth was, for the love without measure which entered into covenant for our redemption, for the love without failure which in due time appeared in the person of Christ and brought out our redemption, for that love which has never changed, though we have wandered; that love which remains faithful even when we are unfaithful. God, we praise you for keeping us till this day, and for the full assurance that you will never let us go.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“But God proves his own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
The black background of sin makes the bright line of love shine out more clearly. When the lightning writes the name of the Lord with a flaming finger across the black brow of the tempest, we are compelled to see it; so also when love inscribes the cross on the tablet of our sin.
PRAY FOR THE NATIONS
This week, we’re praying for the Ashtiani of Iran.
All of the Ashtiani are Muslim. It is illegal to convert from Islam to Christianity in Iran. This is a tragedy and an injustice.
Pray that the leaders of Iran would begin to honor real religious freedom.

Teaching Kids Purity in a Hyper-Sexualized World*
Have you seen the latest statistics about teenagers and pornography? They’re horrifying.
Almost every teen (73%) says they have consumed pornography.
The average age of first exposure to pornography is 12.
15% of kids say they first saw porn at age 10 or younger.
Here’s what Christian parents need to realize about these numbers: if we don’t teach our kids to think biblically about sexuality, the world will certainly teach them other ways to think.
If you need help starting, continuing, or reviving this conversation in your home, please check out “Raising Sexually Faithful Kids.” This is a FREE video course to help parents confidently (and biblically!) talk about sexuality and more with their kids.
No matter how old your kids are, this course will give you a good foundation to talk with them.
