  • GOD OF OUR FATHERS

    Daniel C. Roberts, 1841–1907 If my people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14) After what I owe to God, nothing should…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Many have forsaken Christ, and have walked no more with him; but what reason have YOU to make a change? Has there been any reason for it in the past? Has not Jesus proved himself all-sufficient? He appeals to you this morning—“Have I been a wilderness unto you?” When your soul has simply trusted Jesus,…

  • THE WITNESS OF THE SPIRIT

    My Utmost For His Highest The Spirit Himself beareth witness with our spirit … Romans 8:16 (R.V.). We are in danger of getting the barter spirit when we come to God, we want the witness before we have done what God tells us to do. ‘Why does not God reveal Himself to me?’ He cannot;…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    This sentence is a body of divinity in miniature. He who understands its meaning is a theologian, and he who can dive into its fulness is a true master in Israel.

  • DIRECTION BY IMPULSE

    My Utmost For His Highest Building up yourselves on your most holy faith. Jude 20.

  • FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT WITH ALL THY MIGHT

    John S. B. Monsell, 1811–1875 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. (1 Timothy 6:12) As Christians, one of our chief characteristics should be courage, especially when it involves our spiritual defense…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    How much owest thou unto my Lord? Has he ever done anything for thee? Has he forgiven thy sins? Has he covered thee with a robe of righteousness? Has he set thy feet upon a rock? Has he established thy goings? Has he prepared heaven for thee? Has he prepared thee for heaven? Has he…

  • IS GOD’S WILL MY WILL?

    My Utmost For His Highest This is the will of God, even your sanctification. 1 Thess. 4:3. It is not a question of whether God is willing to sanctify me; is it my will? Am I willing to let God do in me all that has been made possible by the Atonement? Am I willing…

  • THE SON OF GOD GOES FORTH TO WAR

    Amazing Grace Reginald Heber, 1783–1826 Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be men of courage; be strong.
