    My Utmost For His Highest For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God. 1 Peter 4:17.

Experience is only a…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    (May 4, 2025) One great besetting sin of ancient Israel was idolatry, and the spiritual Israel are vexed with a tendency to the same folly.

  • THE PASSION OF PATIENCE

    My Utmost For His Highest Though it tarry, wait for it. Hab. 2:3. Patience is not indifference; patience conveys the idea of an immensely strong rock withstanding all onslaughts. The vision of God is the source of patience, because it imparts a moral inspiration. Moses endured, not because he had an ideal of right and…
