  • LOVE DIVINE, ALL LOVE EXCELLING

    Amazing Grace Charles Wesley, 1707–1788 This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. (1 John 4:9) We must never underestimate the power of love in our human relationships—whether marriages, family, business associations, or friendships. The divine love of…

  • Morning & Evening

    Believer, look back through all thine experience, and think of the way whereby the Lord thy God has led thee in the wilderness, and how he hath fed and clothed thee every day—how he hath borne with thine ill manners—how he hath put up with all thy murmurings, and all thy longings after the flesh-pots…

  • Morning & Evening

    As God’s creatures, we are all debtors to him: to obey him with all our body, and soul, and strength. Having broken his commandments, as we all have, we are debtors to his justice, and we owe to him a vast amount which we are not able to pay. But of the Christian it can…

  • JESUS, THOU JOY OF LOVING HEARTS

    Amazing Grace Attributed to Bernard of Clairvaux, 1091–1153Translated by Ray Palmer, 1808–1887 I have told you this so that My joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. (John 15:11) This song is another of the fine hymn texts that originated during the Middle Ages. It is thought to have been…

  • Morning & Evening

    This is the voice of unalterable truth. In none of the Jewish ceremonies were sins, even typically, removed without blood-shedding. In no case, by no means can sin be pardoned without atonement. It is clear, then, that there is no hope for me out of Christ; for there is no other blood-shedding which is worth…

  • WALK IN THE LIGHT

    Amazing Grace Bernard Barton, 1784–1849 But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from every sin. (1 John 1:7) How beautiful to walk in the steps of the SaviorLed in paths of light.— E. Hewitt…

  • Morning & Evening

    The time when Christians begin to sing in the ways of the Lord is when they first lose their burden at the foot of the Cross. Not even the songs of the angels seem so sweet as the first song of rapture which gushes from the inmost soul of the forgiven child of God. You…

  • TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS

    Amazing Grace Words and Music by Helen H. Lemmel, 1864–1961 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:2) I’ve seen the face…

  • Morning & Evening

    It will always give a Christian the greatest calm, quiet, ease, and peace, to think of the perfect righteousness of Christ. How often are the saints of God downcast and sad! I do not think they ought to be. I do not think they would if they could always see their perfection in Christ. There…

  • Morning & Evening

    The members of Christ’s Church should be very prayerful, always seeking the unction of the Holy One to rest upon their hearts, that the kingdom of Christ may come, and that his “will be done on earth, even as it is in heaven;” but there are times when God seems especially to favour Zion, such…
