  • Morning & Evening

    I will meditate in thy precepts. — Psalm 119:15 There are times when solitude is better than society, and silence is wiser than speech. We should be better Christians if we were more alone, waiting upon God, and gathering through meditation on his Word spiritual strength for labour in his service. We ought to muse…

  • REVIVE US AGAIN

    Amazing Grace William P. Mackay, 1839–1885 Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You? (Psalm 85:6) The most desperate need of our day is a spiritual and moral renewal. This revival must begin with God’s people, you and me—the Church. It must be more than a mere increase in church…

  • Morning & Evening

    Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.” —Lamentations 3:41 The act of prayer teaches us our unworthiness, which is a very salutary lesson for such proud beings as we are. If God gave us favours without constraining us to pray for them we should never know how poor…

  • 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…
