  • Morning & Evening

    Believer, look back through all thine experience, and think of the way whereby the Lord thy God has led thee in the wilderness, and how he hath fed and clothed thee every day—how he hath borne with thine ill manners—how he hath put up with all thy murmurings, and all thy longings after the flesh-pots…

  • THE RECOGNIZED BAN OF RELATIONSHIP

    My Utmost For His Highest We are made as the filth of the world. 1 Cor. 4:9–13 . These words are not an exaggeration. The reason they are not true of us who call ourselves ministers of the gospel is not that Paul forgot the exact truth in using them, but that we have too…

  • O THE DEEP, DEEP LOVE OF JESUS

    Amazing Grace S. Trevor Francis, 1834–1925 I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ. (Ephesians 3:17, 18) Who can fully grasp the dimensions of God’s great love for us? Yet the…

  • Morning & Evening

    As God’s creatures, we are all debtors to him: to obey him with all our body, and soul, and strength. Having broken his commandments, as we all have, we are debtors to his justice, and we owe to him a vast amount which we are not able to pay. But of the Christian it can…

  • THE CONSTRAINT OF THE CALL

    My Utmost For His Highest Woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! 1 Cor. 9:16. Beware of stopping your ears to the call of God. Everyone who is saved is called to testify to the fact; but that is not the call to preach, it is merely an illustration in preaching. Paul…

  • JESUS, THOU JOY OF LOVING HEARTS

    Amazing Grace Attributed to Bernard of Clairvaux, 1091–1153Translated by Ray Palmer, 1808–1887 I have told you this so that My joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. (John 15:11) This song is another of the fine hymn texts that originated during the Middle Ages. It is thought to have been…

  • Morning & Evening

    This is the voice of unalterable truth. In none of the Jewish ceremonies were sins, even typically, removed without blood-shedding. In no case, by no means can sin be pardoned without atonement. It is clear, then, that there is no hope for me out of Christ; for there is no other blood-shedding which is worth…

  • THE CALL OF GOD

    My Utmost For His Highest For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Gospel. 1 Cor 1:17 Paul states here that the call of God is to preach the gospel; but remember what Paul means by “the gospel” viz., the reality of Redemption in our Lord Jesus Christ. We are apt to…

  • WALK IN THE LIGHT

    Amazing Grace Bernard Barton, 1784–1849 But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from every sin. (1 John 1:7) How beautiful to walk in the steps of the SaviorLed in paths of light.— E. Hewitt…

  • Morning & Evening

    The time when Christians begin to sing in the ways of the Lord is when they first lose their burden at the foot of the Cross. Not even the songs of the angels seem so sweet as the first song of rapture which gushes from the inmost soul of the forgiven child of God. You…
