May 29 Evening Devotional | Purged of Every Error | Morning and Evening by Charles Spurgeon

Evening, May 29 | “Cursed before the Lord is the man who rises up and builds this city Jericho.” —Joshua 6:26 (NASB)

This Evening's Scripture Reading: Joshua 6:26-27 (NASB)

Then Joshua made them take an oath at that time, saying, “Cursed before the Lord is the man who rises up and builds this city Jericho; with the loss of his firstborn he shall lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son he shall set up its gates.” So the Lord was with Joshua, and his fame was in all the land.

Devotional Video Transcript:

Since he was cursed who rebuilt Jericho, much more the man who labors to restore false religion among us. In our fathers’ days, the gigantic walls of false religion fell by the power of their faith, the perseverance of their efforts, and the blast of their gospel trumpets; and now there are some who would rebuild those false systems upon their old foundation.

O Lord, be pleased to thwart their unrighteous endeavors and pull down every stone which they build. It should be a serious business with us to be thoroughly purged of every error which may have a tendency to foster the spirit of falsehood. When we have made a clean sweep at home we should seek in every way to oppose its all too rapid spread abroad in the church and in the world.

This may be done in secret by fervent prayer, and in public by decided testimony. We must warn with judicious boldness those who are inclined towards the errors of false religion; we must instruct the young in gospel truth, and tell them of the dark doings of falsehood in the earlier times. We must aid in spreading the light more thoroughly through the land, for false teachers, like owls, hate daylight.

Are we doing all we can for Jesus and the gospel? If not, our negligence plays into the hands of the heretics. What are we doing to spread the Bible, which is the heretic’s bane and poison? Are we casting abroad good, sound gospel writings? Luther once said, “The devil hates goose quills” and, doubtless, he has good reason; the writer's pen blessed by the Holy Spirit has done much damage to his evil kingdom. If the thousands who will read this short word this night will do all they can to hinder the rebuilding of this accursed Jericho, the Lord’s glory shall speed among the sons of men.

What can you do?
What will you do?
