  • THE MASTER ASSIZES

    My Utmost For His Highest For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ. 2 Cor. 5:10 Paul says that we must all, preacher and people alike, “appear before the judgment seat of Christ.” If you learn to live in the white light of Christ here and now, judgment finally will cause you…

  • LEANING ON THE EVERLASTING ARMS

    Amazing Grace Elisha A. Hoffman, 1839–1929 The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. (Deuteronomy 33:27) When close friends or family members turn to us for comfort in their grief following the loss of a loved one, often we find it difficult to express just the right words of consolation. One…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Yes, O Lord, with thee, but not to thee. All my natural alienation from thee, thy grace has effectually removed; and now, in fellowship with thyself, I walk through this sinful world as a pilgrim in a foreign country. Thou art a stranger in thine own world. Man forgets thee, dishonours thee, sets up new…

  • THE DISCIPLINE OF DISMAY

    My Utmost For His Highest And as they followed, they were afraid. Mark 10:32. At the beginning we were sure we knew all about Jesus Christ, it was a delight to sell all and to fling ourselves out in a hardihood of love; but now we are not quite so sure. Jesus is on in…

  • MORE SECURE IS NO ONE EVER

    Amazing Grace Lina Sandell Berg, 1832–1903 My salvation and my honor depend on God; He is my mighty rock, my refuge. (Psalm 62:7) A sincere love for God and a heart filled with gratitude following a miraculous healing experience prompted the tender lines of this hymn, set to a child-like Swedish folk melody. Lina Sandell…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Christ has grace without measure in himself, but he hath not retained it for himself. As the reservoir empties itself into the pipes, so hath Christ emptied out his grace for his people. “Of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.” He seems only to have in order to dispense to us.…

  • OBEDIENCE

    His servants ye are to whom ye obey. Romans 6:16. The first thing to do in examining the power that dominates me is to take hold of the unwelcome fact that I am responsible for being thus dominated because I have yielded. If I am a slave to myself, I am to blame for it…

  • STANDING ON THE PROMISES

    Amazing Grace Words and Music by R. Kelso Carter, 1849–1928 For all the promises of God in Him are yea, and in Him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. (2 Corinthians 1:20 KJV) All of us have times in life when a crisis or problem seems larger than we can possibly bear, and…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    It is a curious fact, that there is such a thing as being proud of grace. A man says, “I have great faith, I shall not fall; poor little faith may, but I never shall.” “I have fervent love,” says another, “I can stand, there is no danger of my going astray.” He who boasts…

  • THE ABANDONMENT OF GOD

    My Utmost For His Highest God so loved the world that He gave … John 3:16. Salvation is not merely deliverance from sin, nor the experience of personal holiness; the salvation of God is deliverance out of self entirely into union with Himself. My experimental knowledge of salvation will be along the line of deliverance…
