  • LEAD ON, O KING ETERNAL

    Ernest W. Shurtleff, 1862–1917 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    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 upon the things of God, because we thus get…

  • AFTER GOD’S SILENCE – WHAT?

    My Utmost For His Highest When He had heard therefore that he was sick, He abode two days in the same place where He was. John 11:6. Has God trusted you with a silence—a silence that is big with meaning? God’s silences are His answers. Think of those days of absolute silence in the home…

  • REVIVE US AGAIN

    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 membership and…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    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 we are, but a true prayer is an inventory of wants, a catalogue of necessities, a…

  • WHEREBY SHALL I KNOW

    My Utmost For His Highest I thank Thee, O Father, … because Thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Matthew 11:25. In spiritual relationships we do not grow step by step, we are either there or we are not. God does not cleanse us more and…

  • WORK, FOR THE NIGHT IS COMING

    Annie L. Coghill, 1836–1907 As long as it is day, we must do the work of Him who sent Me. Night is coming when no one can work. (John 9:4) Do not pray for easy lives; pray to be stronger men! Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers. Pray for powers equal to…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Revolve in your mind that wondrous word, “faultless!” We are far off from it now; but as our Lord never stops short of perfection in his work of love, we shall reach it one day. The Saviour who will keep his people to the end, will also present them at last to himself, as “a…

  • PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER

    My Utmost For His Highest Yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. Romans 6:13–22 . I cannot save and sanctify myself; I cannot atone for sin; I cannot redeem the world; I cannot make right what is wrong, pure what is impure, holy what is unholy. That is all the sovereign work of God.…

  • YE CHRISTIAN HERALDS

    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. Seldom do…
