Be Ye Separate from the Base Things of the World

God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth.-John 4:24
Every time any form of worship by procession, celebration, or ceremonial of man’s invention is offered to God, it is offered in defiance of this word of Christ, and cannot and will not be received; however earnest people may be they have violated the imperative canon of God’s Word; and in fighting for rubrics they have gone against the eternal rubric that God as a Spirit must be worshiped in spirit and in truth. ~ C.H. Spurgeon,  –The Sword and the Trowel January 1873

Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? No one! – Job 14:4

“As it was with the worship of Israel of old, so it is now with that of the Christian church. The pure becomes alloyed with the base, that which is genuine with that which is spurious, divine revelation with human tradition, and the inspired decrees of heaven with the inventions and devices of the children of men. Some fallacies are perpetuated from generation to generation, until the deep hue of antiquity tinges them over, makes them look venerable and speciously invites a reverence and regard to which they never had any legitimate claim…

But, mark ye this, if the grace of God be once more restored to the church in all its fullness and the Spirit of God be poured out from on high, in all His sanctifying energy there will come such a shaking as has never been seen in our days.” ~ C.H. Spurgeon, https://www.blueletterbible.org/Comm/spurgeon_charles/sermons/0238.cfm

Thanks be to Brother Spurgeon!
The Christ Mass and Easter fits perfectly with what he said! They are pagan/papist/traditions of men that have been practiced for so long that they are unlawfully regarded as holy! Oh! Holy Spirit, shake Your Church and pour on her Your sanctifying power unto repentance and reform! amen! \o/

  1. Many people don’t know that Spurgeon realized the evils of the Christ Mass towards the end of his life and spoke out against it. No one wants that to be made known though so everyone believes he was a Christ Mass celebrant. And, admittedly, he did do some wonderful Christ Mass sermons in his younger years.
