Psalm 23 (KJV):
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

ALL Religions are fraud! Religions must be held responsible for their claims and actions! All religions must be be brought into the courts! As was done with all businesses, eg. tobacco and the Pharma industry, ...to prove their claims or to be heavily penalised, and restricted from proselytising their false claims! eg The frauds of 'end-times' must be prosecuted for fraud and Domestic Terrorism. Religions are still destroying Human Rights; esp Women's Rights! Report all religious sites Often!! Religions are fraud! gods do NOT exist!

The blessed Prince of Preachers, he never fails us. At 80 years old, 58 years since God gave me, a great sinner, a new heart that Ezekiel, (Ch. 36, John 3, Ephesians Ch 1 & 2) wrote of, I have read this man's thousands of sermons. I know, with CHS much time and excruciating anguish. When I read of one of his anxiety, nightmare of worst kind attacks...I wept. He, as I, I know, he and I went to the savior, even pleading when we had that torment, "please Father, take this away, even for a little while, a moment of peace for 15 minutes?" I must find the volume CHS' testimony tells it. Last, I never felt like that until after 8 or 10 years of being his own son. If any read such, hear this great man, cling to the Father, read the first, original Spurgeon! There have been some editing his great writings the past decades and I wish I had power to stop it all...Spurgeon edited! O Lord, stop any that have done so, mostly stop the one's that translate the Bible erroneously...all the incorrect so called "making the scripture more readable." My KJV is perfect for me, though I read always too, NASB, ESV, a few other safe ones. Thanks for Spurgeon; I believe I wonder re this reading; something is askew with Spurgeon's way or idiom off. I am going back to the first and true MTP readings.

Thank you God for being our Shepherd and taking care of each one of us. You know my name you comfort me you bore my pain you wore my cross. I trust in you and what you did for us at the cross. You are faithful great is your faithfulness in grieve and in glory you are my deliverance from hell. For that I’m humble to serve no matter what trial may come my way.

For I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
