  • DO IT YOURSELF

    My Utmost For His Highest Determinedly Discipline other Things. Bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. 2 Cor. 10:5.

  • HOLY, HOLY, HOLY

    Reginald Heber, 1783–1826 Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for He is our God and we are the people of His pasture, the flock under His care. (Psalm 95:6, 7) “O Lord, grant that I may desire Thee, and desiring Thee, seek Thee, and seeking Thee,…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Our fruit is found from our God as to union. The fruit of the branch is directly traceable to the root. Sever the connection, the branch dies, and no fruit is produced. By virtue of our union with Christ we bring forth fruit. Every bunch of grapes have been first in the root, it has…

  • SPRINGS OF BENIGNITY

    My Utmost For His Highest The water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water. John 4:14. The picture Our Lord gives is not that of a channel but a fountain. ‘Be being filled,’ and the sweetness of vital relationship to Jesus will flow out of the saint as lavishly…
