    My Utmost For His HIghest Lovest thou Me? Feed My sheep. John 21:16. Jesus did not say—Make converts to your way of thinking, but look after My sheep, see that they get nourished in the knowledge of Me. We count as service what we do in the way of Christian work; Jesus Christ calls service…

  • NOW I BELONG TO JESUS

    Words and Music by Norman J. Clayton, 1903–1992 If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. (Romans 14:8) God is FOR us—that is good.God is WITH us—that is better.God is IN us—that is best!— Unknown…
