  • Morning & Evening

    Primeval darkness heard the Almighty fiat, “light be,” and straightway light was, and the word of the Lord Jesus is equal in majesty to that ancient word of power. Redemption like Creation has its word of might. Jesus speaks and it is done. Leprosy yielded to no human remedies, but it fled at once at…

  • GLORIOUS THINGS OF THEE ARE SPOKEN

    Amazing Grace John Newton, 1725–1807 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of His holiness. Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. God is known in her…

  • Morning & Evening

    It is well to be able, without any “if” or “but,” to say of the Lord Jesus—“Thou whom my soul loveth.” Many can only say of Jesus that they hope they love him; they trust they love him; but only a poor and shallow experience will be content to stay here. No one ought to…

  • I LOVE THY KINGDOM, LORD

    Timothy Dwight, 1752–1817 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:24-25 God honored the tears,…

  • Morning & Evening

    Very interesting is this little peep into the house of the Apostolic Fisherman. We see at once that household joys and cares are no hindrance to the full exercise of ministry, nay, that since they furnish an opportunity for personally witnessing the Lord’s gracious work upon one’s own flesh and blood, they may even instruct…

  • The Church’s One Foundation

    Samuel J. Stone, 1839–1900 … Christ is the head of the church, His body, of which He is the Savior. Ephesians 5:23 During an especially heated period of theological controversy in England in 1866 when liberalism threatened to destroy the great cardinal doctrines of the Anglican church, this hymn was written by Pastor Samuel Stone.…

  • Morning & Evening

    The Psalmist felt his need of divine guidance. He had just been discovering the foolishness of his own heart, and lest he should be constantly led astray by it, he resolved that God’s counsel should henceforth guide him. A sense of our own folly is a great step towards being wise, when it leads us…

  • ONLY ONE LIFE

    Avis B. Christiansen, 1895–1985 And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again. (2 Corinthians 5:15) Find your purpose and fling your life out into it; and the loftier your purpose is, the more sure you will be…

  • Morning & Evening

    In seasons of severe trial, the Christian has nothing on earth that he can trust to, and is therefore compelled to cast himself on his God alone. When his vessel is on its beam-ends, and no human deliverance can avail, he must simply and entirely trust himself to the providence and care of God. Happy…

  • 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…
