    Do you not feel in your own soul that perfection is not in you? Does not every day teach you that?

    God’s people are doubly his children, they are his offspring by creation, and they are his sons by adoption in Christ.

    And canst thou not do this? Are there no mercies which thou hast experienced? What though thou art gloomy now, canst thou forget that blessed hour when Jesus met thee, and said, “Come unto me”?

Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field. (Matthew 9:37, 38) We hear many missionary sermons in our churches, but not often do we sing such a beautifully…

  • Morning & Evening
