  • 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…

  • THE EXCLUSIVENESS OF CHRIST

    My Utmost For His Highest Come unto Me. Matthew 11:28. Is it not humiliating to be told that we must come to Jesus! Think of the things we will not come to Jesus Christ about. If you want to know how real you are, test yourself by these words—“Come unto Me.” In every degree in…

  • ARE YE ABLE? SAID THE MASTER

    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 and live…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Mark the grand characteristic of true prayer—“In the Holy Ghost.” The seed of acceptable devotion must come from heaven’s storehouse. Only the prayer which comes from God can go to God. We must shoot the Lord’s arrows back to him. That desire which he writes upon our heart will move his heart and bring down…

  • RECONCILIATION

    My Utmost For His Highest For He hath made Him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Cor. 5:21. Sin is a fundamental relationship; it is not wrong doing, it is wrong being, deliberate and emphatic independence of God. The Christian…

  • STAND UP AND BLESS THE LORD

    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 derided, the…

  • 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…

  • THE BENT OF REGENERATION

    My Utmost For His Highest When it pleased God, … to reveal His son in me. Gal. 1:15, 16. If Jesus Christ is to regenerate me, what is the problem He is up against? I have a heredity I had no say in; I am not holy, nor likely to be; and if all Jesus…

  • MAKE ME A BLESSING

    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 all.— Unknown…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    He who is a believer in Jesus finds enough in his Lord to satisfy him now, and to content him for evermore. The believer is not the man whose days are weary for want of comfort, and whose nights are long from absence of heart-cheering thought, for he finds in religion such a spring of…
