  • IMMORTAL, INVISIBLE

    Amazing Grace Walter Chalmers Smith, 1824–1908 Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever, Amen. (1 Timothy 1:17) In our enjoyment of a personal relationship with God, we sometimes lose sight of the awe and reverence that should also be part of our worship of Him.…

  • Morning & Evening

    There are different translations of these words. One version renders it, “I will shew thee great and fortified things.” Another, “Great and reserved things.” Now, there are reserved and special things in Christian experience: all the developments of spiritual life are not alike easy of attainment. There are the common frames and feelings of repentance,…

  • 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. (Psalm 104:1) It is possible for Christians to lose a sense of the infinite power and greatness of God and make of Him merely a heavenly friend—a God who is no bigger than our mundane…

  • Morning & Evening

    Faith is full of inventions. The house was full, a crowd blocked up the door, but faith found a way of getting at the Lord and placing the palsied man before him. If we cannot get sinners where Jesus is by ordinary methods we must use extraordinary ones. It seems, according to Luke 5:19, that…

  • BRETHREN, WE HAVE MET TO WORSHIP

    Amazing Grace George Atkins, 19th century Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name. Bring an offering and come before Him; worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness. (1 Chronicles 16:29) The apostle Paul’s favorite name for fellow believers was “brethren.” He used this term at least 60 times throughout his various…

  • Morning & Evening

    We use lights to make manifest. A Christian man should so shine in his life, that a person could not live with him a week without knowing the gospel. His conversation should be such that all who are about him should clearly perceive whose he is, and whom he serves; and should see the image…

  • O DAY OF REST AND GLADNESS

    Amazing Grace Christopher Wordsworth, 1807–1885 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest … (Hebrews 4:9, 10, 11) Christopher Wordsworth, a nephew of the renowned…

  • Morning & Evening

    As a Christian you have to live in the midst of an ungodly world, and it is of little use for you to cry “Woe is me.” Jesus did not pray that you should be taken out of the world, and what he did not pray for, you need not desire. Better far in the…
