  • Morning & Evening

    Revolve in your mind that wondrous word, “faultless!” We are far off from it now; but as our Lord never stops short of perfection in his work of love, we shall reach it one day. The Saviour who will keep his people to the end, will also present them at last to himself, as “a…

  • YE CHRISTIAN HERALDS

    Amazing Grace Bourne H. Draper, 1775–1843 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “your God reigns!” (Isaiah 52:7) Many of us are often guilty of taking our pastors, missionaries, and Christian leaders for granted.…

  • Morning & Evening

    In some sense the path to heaven is very safe, but in other respects there is no road so dangerous. It is beset with difficulties. One false step (and how easy it is to take that if grace be absent), and down we go. What a slippery path is that which some of us have…

  • “ARE YE ABLE?” SAID THE MASTER

    Amazing Grace Earl Marlatt, 1892–1976 Can you drink the cup I am going to drink? (Matthew 20:22) A Christian is a person who, when getting to the end of his/her rope, ties a knot and determines to hang on, realizing that human extremity now becomes God’s opportunity.—Unknown The mission for each Christian is to proclaim…

  • Morning & Evening

    We learn from this narrative, the necessity of human agency. The draught of fishes was miraculous, yet neither the fisherman nor his boat, nor his fishing tackle were ignored; but all were used to take the fishes. So in the saving of souls, God worketh by means; and while the present economy of grace shall…

  • STAND UP AND BLESS THE LORD

    Amazing Grace James Montgomery, 1771–1854 Stand up and praise the Lord your God, who is from everlasting to everlasting. (Nehemiah 9:5) Many excellent opportunities to witness for the Lord are lost each day simply because of our timidity. Or perhaps we are with a group of colleagues when the Lord’s name is blasphemed, the gospel…

  • Morning & Evening

    Our heavenly Father sends us frequent troubles to try our faith. If our faith be worth anything, it will stand the test. Gilt is afraid of fire, but gold is not: the paste gem dreads to be touched by the diamond, but the true jewel fears no test. It is a poor faith which can…

  • MAKE ME A BLESSING

    Amazing Grace Ira B. Wilson, 1880–1950 Through the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, but by the mouth of the wicked it is destroyed. (Proverbs 11:11) Nothing is lost that is done for the Lord,Let it be ever so small;The smile of the Savior approves of the deedAs though it were greatest of…

  • Morning & Evening

    He who is a believer in Jesus finds enough in his Lord to satisfy him now, and to content him for evermore. The believer is not the man whose days are weary for want of comfort, and whose nights are long from absence of heart-cheering thought, for he finds in religion such a spring of…

  • CHANNELS ONLY

    Amazing Grace Mary E. Maxwell, 20th century If a man cleanses himself from the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work. (2 Timothy 2:21) A vessel He will make of you, if small or great, ’twill surely do—Great joy and…
