Excellent choice of Spurgeon work for 22 September 2025, the day after what some are called a 'revival'.
Is it possible that Charlie Kirk pick the term 'Turning Point' from this lesson of Charles Spurgeon?
I have another thought regarding a turning point based on two separate points. The first being an excerpt of Albert Barnes commentary on Psalm 83 verse 4
Psalm 83:4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off … – Let us utterly destroy them, and root them out from among the nations. Let us combine against them, and overpower them; let us divide their land among ourselves, attaching it to our own. The nations referred to Psalm 83:6-8 were those which surrounded the land of Israel; and the proposal seems to have been to partition the land of the Hebrews among themselves, as has been done in modern times in regard to Poland. On what principles, and in what proportions, they proposed thus to divide the land is not intimated, nor is it said that the project had gone so far that they had agreed on the terms of such a division. The formation of such a purpose, however, was in itself by no means improbable. The Hebrew people were offensive to all the surrounding nations by their religion, their prosperity, and the constant rebuke of tyranny and idolatry by their religious and their social institutions. There had been enough, also, in their past history – in the remembrance of the successful wars of the Hebrews with those very nations – to keep up a constant irritation on their part. We are not to be surprised, therefore, that there was a deeply-cherished desire to blot out the name and the nation altogether. That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance – That the nation as such may be utterly extinct and forgotten; that the former triumphs of that nation over us may be avenged; that we may no longer have in our very midst this painful memorial of the existence of one God, and of the demands of his law; that we may pursue our own plans without the silent or the open admonition derived from a religion so pure and holy. For the same reason the world has often endeavored to destroy the church; to cause it to be extinct; to blot out its name; to make the very names Christ and Christian forgotten among mankind. Hence, the fiery persecutions under the Roman government in the time of the Emperors; and hence, in every age, and in every land, the church has been exposed to persecution – originated with a purpose to destroy it as long as there was any hope of accomplishing that end. That purpose has been abandoned by Satan and his friends only because the result has shown that the persecution of the church served but to spread its principles and doctrines, and to fix it more firmly in the affections and confidence of mankind, so that the tendency of persecution is rather to overthrow the persecutor than the persecuted. Whether it can be destroyed by prosperity and corruption – by science – by error – seems now to be the great problem before the mind of Satan
The second point is based on a personal turning point I had in 1971 when I heard my first ever Protestant sermon at a small Church in Pendleton Indiana, delivered by a preacher from Nigeria.
A dark complected man delivered a sermon to a group of light complected Midwest farmers and small businessmen and their wives and me and an acquaintance happened to be there by what I would say is God incidence. In the sermon he delivered how in the United States he found that people were worshiping money.
I find it more than coincidence the Barnes excerpt that I posted in some ways aligns with that sermon.
Two 'coincidences' in my life separated by 50 plus years.
Another unusual occurrence today is a Gmail I received about PennDOT clearing a homeless camp out from Harrisburg Pennsylvania today 22 September 2025.
Not Unusual just in itself, but just yesterday evening I happened to watch the movie Penn's seed: The Awakening, which is the story of William Penn and the founding of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
0:13–0:27… "19 Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth."
Psalm 119:5 "O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!
6 Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
7. I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.
8. I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.
9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word."
Kimhi (see below) work done was significant for KJV translation.
Yahya (see below) was financial backer. Information is AI search
"Yahia the Negro" refers to Yahia Ben Rabbi (c. 1150–1222), a prominent Jewish nobleman and a member of the esteemed Ibn Yahya family, which claimed descent from the ancient Babylonian Exilarchs and ultimately King David. He was known by the cognomen "o Negro" (the Black) because King Afonso I granted him an estate that had belonged to the Moors, an honor bestowed for his courage and service.
The term "Kimchi Bible scholar" likely refers to Rabbi David Kimchi (Radak), a medieval Jewish scholar known for his influential commentaries on the Hebrew Bible and his mastery of Hebrew grammar. He is one of the most important biblical exegetes of his family and his work was foundational for understanding the Bible and Hebrew language.
Thank you for this sermon. Lately I've been contemplating why we are taught to forget our past…. it's a total abomination. We must remember and repent.
Thank you ❤
Amen and praise Adonai 🙌🏼✝️❤️🕊️💐
