VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, will multiply teachers for themselves because they have an itch to hear what they want to hear. They will turn away from hearing the truth and will turn aside to myths.” (2 Timothy 4:3–4)

When a man will not believe the truth, he is sure before long to be a greedy believer of lies. No people are so credulous as skeptics. There is no absurdity so gross but what an unbeliever will very soon be brought to receive it, though he rejects the truth of God.

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week, we’re praying for the Amat in India.

This ethnic group of 274,000 have likely never heard of Jesus or even met a Christian. They cannot hear the gospel unless someone brings it from the outside.

Pray that God would send missionaries to the Amat.

RECOMMENDED RESOURCE

A new book from the creator of Pray with Spurgeon

Let’s be honest: sex in marriage is meant to be safe, unifying, pleasurable, and really, really good. So why isn’t it?

When selfishness invades marriage, everything goes wrong. We’ve corrupted God’s design for marriage with our self-seeking attitude and then act surprised when we aren’t satisfied by it. This might be more apparent in our sexual relationship than anywhere else.

Sex can be one of the most pleasurable things we’ll experience within marriage, but it requires us to be really vulnerable — and when things don’t go well, that vulnerability puts us at risk of real pain.

With these high risks and high rewards in mind, how should we move forward? What does it look like to pursue sex in a way that honors our spouse AND honors God?

It’s a really good question. And I’m really excited to share that I wrote a book to answer it!

My first book, Sex and Self-Forgetfulness, is available NOW for pre-order wherever books are sold.

Here’s the basic idea: The Christian secret to a fulfilling sex life isn’t that secret; it’s about living in our bedrooms the same way that Jesus calls us to live everywhere: laying down our lives to serve others.

This 30-day devotional will strengthen your marriage and make sex more wonderful for both spouses.

If you desire for sex to be…

• Safe

• Unifying

• Wonderful

• God-Glorifying

• Pure

• Really, really pleasurable

… then this book is for you.
