This Is What I Know
























Beloved, I know that I have been converted, for I am sure that there is a change of heart in me; nevertheless, my hope of eternal life does not hang upon the inward fact. I rest in the external fact that God hath revealed himself in Jesus as blotting out the sin of all his believing people, and, as a believer, I have the word of God as my guarantee of forgiveness. This is my rest. Because I am a believer in Christ Jesus, therefore have I hope, therefore have I joy and peace, since God hath declared that “he that believeth in him hath everlasting life.” This joy can only safely come through believing, and I pray you, brothers and sisters, never be drifted away from child-like faith in what God hath said.

I was amazed to see and ad for 'the book of mormon' on this page. Really?

Hi Karen,

We certainly don't approve of that and I thank you for calling it to my attention. Please note that I am not able to stop objectionable ads unless I have a URL that I can block.

Occasionally something of this nature slips through and I am not able to address it until I become aware of it. Thanks for being alert and if you see something like this in the future, please let me know where the ad leads if you can. Write to mail@thedailyspurgeon.com.

Thanks!

I find this hard to believe unless we are being deliberately targeted. Where on the page are seeing this?
