    My Utmost For His Highest That ye may know what is the hope of His calling … Eph. 1:18. Remember what you are saved for—that the Son of God might be manifested in your mortal flesh. Bend the whole energy of your powers to realize your election as a child of God; rise to the…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    The believer in Christ receives a present justification. Faith does not produce this fruit by-and-by, but now.

  • HAIL, THOU ONCE DESPISED JESUS!

    Amazing Grace John Bakewell, 1721–1819 He [God] raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Christian! If thou art in a night of trial, think of the morrow; cheer up thy heart with the thought of the coming of thy Lord. Be patient, for Be patient! The Husbandman waits until he reaps his harvest. Be patient; for you know who has said, “Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is…

    My Utmost For His Highest For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful. 2 Peter 1:8 (R.V.). When we begin to form a habit we are conscious of it. There are times when we are conscious of becoming virtuous and patient and godly, but it is…
