Embark on a spiritual odyssey with Lawrence Blair's Christian devotional videos. Rooted in timeless wisdom, inspired by luminaries like Charles Spurgeon, these videos aren't just sermons; they're transformative narratives. Lawrence weaves personal stories, biblical insights, and the promise of divine love, offering a beacon of hope in a tumultuous world. Much like Spurgeon's metaphorical lion, Lawrence releases the Gospel's untamed power, reminding us that every trial is an opportunity for spiritual resilience. Join him on this journey, where faith isn't a doctrine but a dynamic, liberating force for modern seekers.

Acts 1:10-11 (ESV)
10 And while they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes, 11 and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.”

And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

“Your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand.” You never were your own, so that you could not give yourself up to Satan; you are released from all your rash promises and your wicked oaths; you cannot be bound by any covenant that you have made with the devil and with sin C. H. Spurgeon, The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit Sermons, 1894, 40, 354.

I just got my hands on an exemplar from early 1800 and thats why im listening here. I have a feeling it has something to tell me, since i have 2 old exemplars :) Thank you for reading
What do you mean by exemplar from the early 1800s?
@@pilgrimdevotions Its one printed in early 1800. Old book. In scandinavian probably used as a family-book cause its written names in it. like they did ... the books were very precious. I have 2. One from 1878 i think, and the other im not sure how old it is cause the page with the year is missing partly.
@@pilgrimdevotions I was looking for readings from the book cause im not very good at reading gothic, and I found your reading :)
@@pilgrimdevotions The book was translated to scandinavian some time after 1709 by a guy called Carl Piper, while he was imprisoned in siberia after war in Ukraina. The soldiers used this book very much to keep high faith in the middle of warzones. Carl Piper died in prison, but his wife made the manuscripts printed in Sweden and it became the most popular book besides the Bible for christians in Sweden.
@@mkartmkart6335 Thank you. Do you know where I can find this book? I am not having any luck in my Google searches for it. I am a book nut. Love to read.

Thank you. Please continue.
As long as I'm on this side of Jordan.
Stay cool 😎
LOL. I'm tryin'.
Never disappointed, let GOD reveal himself. HOLY SPIRT AND JESUS will work in the Trinity will do the rest. We all need to be reminded who we are. The daily bread helps that. Thanks for this bread today. Amen
thank you ! God Bless
I'll vote for you Lawrence!

Pilgrim Devotions huh? I like it. Matthew 21:21-22 21 Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. 22 If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.”
My new website has the same name; pilgrimdevotions.com. It is not completely finished yet but I ahve begun posting books in it already.
I always enjoy your, somewhat, soliloquies of song. They always bring joy to my soul. Today's Devotional brought to mind a recent talk by Martin Iles in which he reminds us that as Christians we need to remember that we should live our lives with the goal of pleasing an audience of one, that one is the Lord Jesus not oneself.
Watching this from India 🇮🇳
Thank you
Hello Lawrence. I just happened upon your channel and enjoyed your reading. I just have one question, starting at 2:57 when speaking that the Son of Man must also suffer. Why do you say, the disciples knew He was speaking of John the Baptist? The Son of Man only refers to Jesus...He was speaking of Himself.
For the answer we should take the full context of that pat of the discussion between Jesus and the disciples: Matthew 17:10-13 (ESV) 10 And the disciples asked him, “Then why do the scribes say that first Elijah must come?” 11 He answered, “Elijah does come, and he will restore all things. 12 But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they pleased. So also the Son of Man will certainly suffer at their hands.” 13 Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist. The words that answer the question are here; “Then why do the scribes say that first Elijah must come?” 11 He answered, “Elijah does come, and he will restore all things. 12 But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they pleased. So, this is why the disciples understood he was speaking John the Baptist. This is why we should read the Bible daily, over, and over, and over again through our lives. The Holy Spirit and prayer will bring it home to our hearts. God bless
@@pilgrimdevotions I'm sorry, I thought that was your own commentary regarding the the prior verse when Jesus said, "So also the Son of Man will certainly suffer at their hands." I thought the term, The Son of Man was reserved for Jesus only. Is Jesus saying here, that Elijah and John the Baptist are one in the same?
LOL. I understand. This is why I beg all to read the chapter over without my rambling reading. I guess sometimes I do more harm than good.
@@pilgrimdevotions No, you're not doing any harm, at all. If you spark a conversion about scripture, seeking the Truth, which is what I'm after, there's certainly no harm in that.
@@nickyde628 They are not the same person but hold the same office. They are both prophets with the same task: proclaiming a message from the Lord.
Thank you. GOD bless you
Hi Lawrence, I was wondering why it is that you can blaspheme Jesus but not the Holy Spirit. What is the difference?
email me, lawrenceblair@fastmail.com
Amen ✝️❤️🔥🙏📖🤍🕊️
Thank you for posting. God gave gifts unto men, the gift to write words of praise to our God. Thank God for people like yourself who remind us of great men of old like Augustine and others. Comment sent from Darlington England.
God is truly amazing and always faithful. Have a blessed day, everyone 🙏
Indeed He is! God bless.
Lawrence, I have just come across your channel and want to express my gratitude for your posts! As a young christian I always appreciate when I can find a earnest seasoned believer who I can glean from. I feel so strongly that your videos hold such rich wisdom from the Lord and I look forward to continuing to watch. Keep doing what you're doing! You also have incredible speaking tone, very easy to listen to and keep my engagement. Wish you could do an audio bible track! Haha Is there anything I can keep you in prayer for? -Destiny
Well, since you asked. Yes, there is something you can pray for me. Pray that this cold that attacked me will be defeated quickly. I have been unable to do a video for a few days due to a sore throat and occasional cough. It is my plan, Lord willing, to record the four Gospels and Acts. Where I would go from there is also in the Lord's hands, seeing this old pilgrim more than likely reaching the end of his journey through this world. Time seems to move at lightning speed these days. Pray the Lord will get me well and keep me strong for now.
@pilgrimdevotions been praying for you Lawrence, glad to see you well again 🙌
Thank you for your prayers. I am much better now, and yesterday, I finished three videos. This morning, I finished another chapter of Matthew before attending our men's Bible study. We had great conversation, as always, and wonderful fellowship.
I really appreciated today's reading. Your free interjection of related scripture and personal insights made it seem as though I was a child listening to a loving father sharing eternal wisdom while sitting on the front porch. The front porch because of the birds chirping in the background. Blessings to you.
Amen
❤️🔥🙏🤍🕊️📖✝️ amen
Thank you for sharing Gods word🙏🏽 Hope you have a blessed and joyful day sir🙏🏽
It indeed, has been a very good day. God bless, my friend.
Hello brother from New Zealand 🇳🇿 11:38pm Jesus is king
Hello pilgrim. It is nice to hear from a Kiwi. I pray you are well and delighting in the Lord. I only hope in times like these, in any time, really. God bless, my friend.
@@pilgrimdevotions thankyou brother may the lord bless you too!.. if we live, it’s to honor the Lord. And if we die, it’s to honor the Lord. So whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord Hallelujahhhhhhh!!!!!!!
Thank you for this🙏🏼🩷 God bless you!
Welcome. God bless, pilgrim.
very simple and pure in heart, good job Pops will see you in Glory some day!
Yes, indeed. One day, you and I shall clasp hands on the other side of the Jordan. God bless, my friend.
Not personally Christian, but you genuinely seem like a really lovely man so I might give em a watch
Thanks, I work at home in IT industry. I listen to Charles Stanley all day. You came up in my interest. Now I listen to as well. Me and my 7 year old daughter listen to your reading of God's word. Thanks again !
I am happy to hear some young people are listening. By the way, I began posting to SermonAudio.com a couple of months ago. There, you can choose to listen and not see the wrinkled old pilgrim. LOL.
I would like to think we are Pilgrims in a fallen world and not to be conformed to this world. But to be Pilgrims to carry on with spiritual armor and stay strong in our faith. God is so good!!
Amen, God is in control 🙏
All is in His hands.
Why you should care about Calvinism. It’s doctrines are not Biblical 1)Calvinism = Men are unable to choose God *** Christianity = “Choose you this day whom ye will serve” Joshua 24:15 2) Calvinism = Salvation by lottery *** Christianity = For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:26 3) Calvinism = Christ died for the elect *** Christianity = “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.” John 1:29 4) Calvinism = You are a puppet with no free will *** Christianity = “ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.” Acts 7:51 5) Calvinism = Once Saved, Always Saved *** Christianity = “that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith” 1 Timothy 4:1 Of course, Calvinists have excuses for every one of these points. They will twist Scripture in many ways to justify their unBiblical theology. Calvinism has crept into mainstream Christianity in many ways, most notably in point number 5, taking away any responsibility from the Christian to keep the faith which is the only condition in the promise of Salvation. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 But why should anyone care? “For I am the LORD, I change not;” Malachi 3:6 Changing the nature of God in such a fundamental way means you are no longer worshiping the God of the Bible. This fact has eternal consequences. Do not be deceived by those who post the likes of Pink, Sproul, and others. Study the Bible, Look to Christ, not to Calvin.
Thank you for sharing this sermon that addresses a subject, that has weighed heavily upon my heart. For sometime I've been trying to come terms with my disappointment concerning the current songs used for congregational singing in many churches today as they seem, to myself, not to facilitate praise to our Lord as much as being an exercise in self-aggrandisement with tricky tune changes more appropriate for concerts than congregations. This video of yours has helped me to be a bit more accepting of this trend, though I'm sure I'll forever mostly prefer the songs in the hymnal. 🤗
Late is BETTER THAN NOT AT ALL 🎉😂❤
Well said pilgrim
Thank you for sharing the gospel 🙏
Day later and we’re having sunshine ☀️ 🙌👏
Do You believe Jesus is back?
Oh, the precious gift of Christ's Righteous Robe. So happy to hear of the fellowship you have found!
Me too. I've been praying to find personal fellowship with some believers for a long time.
Please pray for me as I've sinned
Praise Jesus why do people say God did this for me why don't a person say. Jesus did this for me why do they say. God did this I say Jesus did this
Mercy oh Lord 🙏
Lamentation 17:3
Lamentations 3:22 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. 24 I say to myself, “The Lord is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”
Hello Pilgrim!
Hello, pilgrim. Isn't it great to be a pilgrim? A pilgrim with somewhere to go other than nowhere or somewhere worse? God bless, my friend.
Thank you for this encouraging word. I also have to admit that early on I expected, or I should say hoped, that you were going to burst into a chorus of "Blue skies over my head"😊
I wanted to, but better sense prevailed. LOL.
@@pilgrimdevotions I thought that might have been the case as it could have been disruptive to the overriding message. 🙂

I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning, I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes Listen as the crowd would sing Now the old king is dead, long live the king One minute, I held the key Next the walls were closed on me And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin' Roman Cavalry choirs are singin' Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason, I can't explain Once you'd gone, there was never, never an honest word And that was when I ruled the world It was a wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in Shattered windows and the sound of drums People couldn't believe what I'd become Revolutionaries wait For my head on a silver plate Just a puppet on a lonely string Aw, who would ever wanna be king? I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin' Roman Cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason, I can't explain I know Saint Peter won't call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringin' Roman Cavalry choirs are singin' Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain I know Saint Peter won't call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world
