  • MORNING & EVENING

    The camp of Dan brought up the rear when the armies of Israel were on the march. The Danites occupied the hindmost place, but what mattered the position, since they were as truly part of the host as were the foremost tribes; they followed the same fiery cloudy pillar, they ate of the same manna,…

  • THE MIRACLE OF BELIEF

    My Utmost For His Highest My speech and my preaching was not with enticing words. 1 Cor. 2:1–5 . Paul was a scholar and an orator of the first rank; he is not speaking out of abject humility, but saying that he would veil the power of God if, when he preached the gospel, he…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Labour to maintain a sense of thine entire dependence upon the Lord’s good will and pleasure for the continuance of thy richest enjoyments.

  • THE POINT OF SPIRITUAL HONOR

    My Utmost For His Highest I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the barbarians. Romans 1:14 Paul was overwhelmed with the sense of his indebtedness to Jesus Christ, and he spent himself to express it. The great inspiration in Paul’s life was his view of Jesus Christ as his spiritual creditor. Do I…
