And the Winners are...

Congratulations go to Curtis Q. Plankton and Fritz McLean who have won Spurgeon's Commentary on the Book of Matthew! And it is autographed by C .H. Spurgeon! It's not the C. H. Spurgeon you are probably thinking of. It's Carmen Hattie Spurgeon, a waitress at Mimi's Cafe in Dimebox, Texas, who is not related to the Prince of Preachers at all. Still, it is C. H. Spurgeon - you can't deny that!

Shift the Kaleidoscope


"Behold, You are beautiful, my Beloved."
Song of Solomon 1:16

From every point, our Well-beloved is most beautiful. Our various experiences are meant to furnish fresh viewpoints from which we may consider the loveliness of Jesus!

How amiable are our trials—when they carry us aloft where we may gain clearer views of Jesus, than ordinary life could afford us! We have seen Him from the languishing of a sick bed, from the borders of the grave—we have turned our eyes to our soul's spouse, and He has never been otherwise than "all beauteous." Many of His saints have looked upon Him from the gloom of dungeons, and from the red flames of the stake—yet they have never uttered a bad word about Him—but have died extolling His surpassing charms! Oh, noble and pleasant employment—to be forever gazing at our sweet Lord Jesus!

Is it not unspeakably delightful—to view the Savior in all His offices, and to perceive Him matchless in each—to shift the kaleidoscope, as it were—and to find fresh combinations of His peerless graces? 

In the manger—and in eternity; 

on the cross—and on His throne; 

in the garden—and in His kingdom;

among thieves—or in the midst of cherubim

—He is everywhere—altogether lovely!
Examine carefully every little act of His life, and every trait of His character, and He is as lovely in the minute as in the majestic. Judge Him as you will—you cannot censure! Weigh Him as you please—and He will not be found lacking. Eternity shall not discover the shadow of a spot in our Beloved! But rather, as countless ages revolve, His hidden glories shall shine forth with yet more inconceivable splendor, and His unutterable loveliness shall more and more ravish all celestial minds!

(Charles Spurgeon)

P.T. Barnum Award and Spurgeon

Joel Osteen wins this award for his lack of Gospel integrity.

Did you know that when P.T. Barnum heard about Spurgeon and the great crowds coming out to hear him he sent him a telegram with an offer of a large sum of money (and all expenses paid to and from America) to come and preach in his circus tents. [charge admission was the idea]


Spurgeon sent a short reply:

 Dear Mr. Barnum, you’ll find my answer in Acts 8:20.
  
"But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money".

Jon Cardwell - Unshaven

The following post was chosen from another site:

As the old saying goes, “It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye.” Well, I suppose we were having a little fun one Sunday afternoon following morning worship service… and it seems we lost an eye on similarity. I think the similarity begins and ends with the bow tie. Yes, some medications and supplements helped me to put on too much weight when I was losing weight far too quickly last year. Couple that with the fact that I’m about a month overdue on my haircut, and it makes my wife and I giddy enough to pose like some of the photos and prints hanging on my office wall.
Not long ago, someone in Talladega asked me, “Have you always had a beard?”
I answered, “No. I grew it right after I got out of the Navy because I have a dimple in my chin and I was getting tired of people confusing me with Tom Hanks.”
He said, “But you don’t look anything like Tom Hanks.”

“I know. The beard works pretty good, doesn’t it.”

Now check out his blog, Justification by Grace, and discover a world of treasures!

Real Deal


What a great gift for Christmas!
I gave mine away to my best friend before leaving for Kuwait.
Tell 'em Eddie Eddings sent ya...Bob and Mike Ross are old friends of mine.
(Mike always reminded me of a blend of Spurgeon and Hoss Cartwright.)
