  • MORNING & EVENING

    He had been all night in agony, he had spent the early morning at the hall of Caiaphas, he had been hurried from Caiaphas to Pilate, from Pilate to Herod, and from Herod back again to Pilate; he had, therefore, but little strength left, and yet neither refreshment nor rest were permitted him. They were…

  • THE GLORY THAT EXCELS

    My Utmost For His Highest The Lord … hath sent me that thou mightest receive thy sight. Acts 9:17. When Paul received his sight he received spiritually an insight into the Person of Jesus Christ, and the whole of his subsequent life and preaching was nothing but Jesus Christ—“I determined not to know anything among…

  • IN THE HOUR OF TRIAL

    Amazing Grace James Montgomery, 1771–1854 No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can stand up to it. (1 Corinthians 10:13)…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    He had never been slow of speech when he could bless the sons of men, but he would not say a single word for himself. “Never man spake like this man,” and never man was silent like him. Was this singular silence the index of his perfect self-sacrifice? Did it show that he would not…

  • HEARTINESS V HEARTLESSNESS TOWARDS OTHERS

    My Utmost For His Highest It is Christ … who also maketh intercession for us … The Spirit … maketh intercession for the saints. Romans 8:34, 27. Do we need any more argument than this to become intercessors—that Christ “ever liveth to make intercession”; that the Holy Spirit “maketh intercession for the saints”? Are we…

  • LEAD ME TO CALVARY

    Amazing Grace Jennie Evelyn Hussey, 1874–1958 Consider Him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. (Hebrews 12:3) This is the season of the year when we give special attention to Christ’s suffering, death, and victorious resurrection. In the church calendar, an awareness of these events…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    This month of April is said to derive its name from the Latin verb aperio, which signifies to open, because all the buds and blossoms are now opening, and we have arrived at the gates of the flowery year. Reader, if you are yet unsaved, may your heart, in accord with the universal awakening of…

  • HEEDFULNESS V. HYPOCRISY IN OURSELVES

    If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and He shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. 1 John 5:16. If we are not heedful of the way the Spirit of God works in us, we shall become spiritual hypocrites. We see…

  • TELL ME THE STORIES OF JESUS

    Amazing Grace William H. Parker, 1845–1929 He explained to them what was said in all of the Scriptures concerning Himself. (Luke 24:27) Children love to hear stories. It is critically important that we build upon this natural response and fill their minds with truths about Christ that will give them a solid foundation upon which…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Pilate delivered our Lord to the lictors to be scourged. The Roman scourge was a most dreadful instrument of torture. It was made of the sinews of oxen, and sharp bones were inter-twisted every here and there among the sinews; so that every time the lash came down these pieces of bone inflicted fearful laceration,…
