Pray with Spurgeon

VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)

“Instead he emptied himself by assuming the form of a servant, taking on the likeness of humanity. And when he had come as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death— even to death on a cross.” (Philippians 2:7–8)

Let us lift up our eyes and wonder; let us lift up our voices and praise his name, that he should ever wash our feet. And yet the wonder is excelled if you remember that he shared a slave’s death, as well as a slave’s life: a slave’s life—when he washed our feet; a slave’s death—when they sold him for thirty pieces of silver, and afterwards pierced his hands and his feet. I put this deed of love in contrast.

PRAY FOR THE NATIONS

This week, we’re praying for the Tagale of Sudan.

Over the last 100 years, the Tagale have become “Arabized,” inheriting some good and bad from Arabic culture, including Islam. It is tragic that the lies of Islam have spread faster than the truth to tribes like the Tagale.

Pray that the real Jesus would be known and worshiped among the Tagale soon.

RECOMMENDED RESOURCE

A Unique Bible Study for Women*

Let’s face it: a lot of resources on sexual sin and purity for women are… not great.

But my friends at Harvest USA have put together a valuable resource for women struggling with sexual sin or discipling someone who is.

This study is unique for three reasons:

1. It is solid, biblical counsel from beginning to end (there is no fluff or condescending illustrations.)

2. It actually encourages honesty about sexual sin (this isn’t an issue for guys only.)

3. It will point you to the biblical model for REAL change (not just behavior modification and internet filters)

You can go through this study alone, one-on-one, or with a small group of women. I can’t wait to hear about how he uses this free Bible study to help you along your journey.
