  • Morning & Evening

    Your Lord is very jealous of your love, O believer. Did he choose you? He cannot bear that you should choose another. Did he buy you with his own blood? He cannot endure that you should think that you are your own, or that you belong to this world. He loved you with such a…

  • Morning & Evening

    The Christian, while in the world, is not to be of the world. He should be distinguished from it in the great object of his life. To him, “to live,” should be “Christ.” Whether he eats, or drinks, or whatever he does, he should do all to God’s glory. You may lay up treasure; but…

  • HOLY, HOLY, HOLY

    Amazing Grace Reginald Heber, 1783–1826 Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for He is our God and we are the people of His pasture, the flock under His care. (Psalm 95:6, 7) “O Lord, grant that I may desire Thee, and desiring Thee, seek Thee, and…

  • Morning & Evening

    Our fruit is found from our God as to union. The fruit of the branch is directly traceable to the root. Sever the connection, the branch dies, and no fruit is produced. By virtue of our union with Christ we bring forth fruit. Every bunch of grapes have been first in the root, it has…

  • GREAT GOD OF WONDERS

    Amazing Grace Samuel Davies, 1723–1761 O Lord my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty.
