  • I SURRENDER ALL

    Amazing Grace Judson W. Van De Venter, 1855–1939 Anyone who does not take his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. (Matthew 10:38, 39) The Bible teaches us that brokenness is a prerequisite to blessing…

  • Morning & Evening

    It may seem an easy thing to wait, but it is one of the postures which a Christian soldier learns not without years of teaching. Marching and quick-marching are much easier to God’s warriors than standing still. There are hours of perplexity when the most willing spirit, anxiously desirous to serve the Lord, knows not…

  • Morning & Evening

    When Dr. Carey was suffering from a dangerous illness, the enquiry was made, “If this sickness should prove fatal, what passage would you select as the text for your funeral sermon?” He replied, “Oh, I feel that such a poor sinful creature is unworthy to have anything said about him; but if a funeral sermon…

  • ALL THE WAY MY SAVIOR LEADS ME

    Amazing Grace Fanny J. Crosby, 1820–1915 For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even to the end. (Psalm 48:14) Often we become discouraged because we cannot see God’s long range plan of guidance for our lives. We need to remember that God has promised to guide our steps,…

  • Morning & Evening

    My soul, how much thou needest this, for thy lamp will not long continue to burn without it. Thy snuff will smoke and become an offence if light be gone, and gone it will be if oil be absent. Thou hast no oil well springing up in thy human nature, and therefore thou must go…

  • LIVING FOR JESUS

    Amazing Grace Thomas O. Chisholm, 1866–1960 Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—which is your spiritual worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. (Romans 12:1, 2)…

  • Morning & Evening

    The Lord’s people delight in the covenant itself. It is an unfailing source of consolation to them so often as the Holy Spirit leads them into its banqueting house and waves its banner of love. They delight to contemplate the antiquity of that covenant, remembering that before the day-star knew its place, or planets ran…

  • TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE

    Amazing Grace Frances R. Havergal, 1836–1879 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. (1 Corinthians 10:31) In this day of self-centered living and pleasure-oriented lifestyle, the total commitment to God of body, mind, and possessions portrayed in this text is difficult for many Christians…

  • Morning & Evening

    Faith, in the Scripture, is spoken of under the emblem of all the senses. It is sight: “Look unto me and be ye saved.” It is hearing: “Hear, and your soul shall live.” Faith is smelling: “All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia”; “thy name is as ointment poured forth.” Faith is…

  • O TO BE LIKE THEE

    Amazing Grace Thomas O. Chisholm, 1866–1960 For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. (Ephesians 2:10) Great Master, teach us with Your skillful hand;Let not the music that is in us die!Great Sculptor, hew and polish us; nor letHidden and lost,…
