  • MORNING & EVENING

    Numbers of Christians can view the past with pleasure, but regard the present with dissatisfaction; they look back upon the days which they have passed in communing with the Lord as being the sweetest and the best they have ever known, but as to the present, it is clad in a sable garb of gloom…

  • THE SACRAMENT OF THE SAINT

    Let them that suffer according to the will of God, commit the keeping of their souls to Him in well-doing. 1 Peter 4:19. To choose to suffer means that there is something wrong; to choose God’s will even if it means suffering is a very different thing. No healthy saint ever chooses suffering; he chooses…

  • NEARER, STILL NEARER

    Words and Music by Leila N. Morris, 1862–1929 The Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth. (Psalm 145:18) It has often been observed that there were at least four groups of people who had a relationship with Christ while He was here on earth. There…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Paul’s marvellously rich expression indicates, that Christ is the source of our life. “You hath he quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins.” That same voice which brought Lazarus out of the tomb raised us to newness of life. He is now the substance of our spiritual life. It is by his life that…

  • PRAYER IN THE FATHER’S HEARING

    My Utmost For His Highest Father, I thank Thee that thou hast heard Me. John 11:41. When the Son of God prays, He has only one consciousness, and that consciousness is of His Father. God always hears the prayers of His Son, and if the Son of God is formed in me the Father will…

  • TAKE THE WORLD, BUT GIVE ME JESUS

    Fanny J. Crosby, 1820–1915 What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? (Mark 8:36, 37) In every believer there is a constant struggle between the old nature, which is attracted to the world, and the new…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Yonder in the better world, the inhabitants are independent of all creature comforts. They have no need of raiment; their white robes never wear out, neither shall they ever be defiled. They need no medicine to heal diseases, “for the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick.” They need no sleep to recruit their frames—they…

  • PRAYER IN THE FATHER’S HONOR

    My Utmost For His Highest That holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. Luke 1:35. If the Son of God is born into my mortal flesh, is His holy innocence and simplicity and oneness with the Father getting a chance to manifest itself in me? What was…

  • TEACH ME THY WAY, O LORD

    Words and Music by ManseIl Ramsey, 1849–1923 Teach me your way, O Lord; lead me in a straight path. (Psalm 27:11) I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God’s hands, that I still possess.— Martin Luther I thank God for my handicaps,…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    See the spider’s web, and behold in it a most suggestive picture of the hypocrite’s religion. It is meant to catch his prey: the spider fattens himself on flies, and the Pharisee has his reward. Foolish persons are easily entrapped by the loud professions of pretenders, and even the more judicious cannot always escape. Philip…
