  • ONE OF GOD’S GREAT DON’TS

    My Utmost For His Highest Fret not thyself, it tendeth only to evil doing. Psalm 37:8 (R.V.). Fretting means getting out at elbows mentally or spiritually. It is one thing to say ‘Fret not,’ but a very different thing to have such a disposition that you find yourself able not to fret. It sounds so…

  • THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER

    Francis Scott Key, 1779–1843 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: Whether it be to the king, as supreme, or to governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well. (1 Peter 2:13, 14 KJV) During the…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Sanctification begins in regeneration. The Spirit of God infuses into man that new living principle by which he becomes “a new creature” in Christ Jesus. This work, which begins in the new birth, is carried on in two ways—mortification, whereby the lusts of the flesh are subdued and kept under; and vivification, by which the…

  • THE CONCENTRATION OF PERSONAL SIN

    My Utmost For His Highest Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips. Isaiah 6:5. When I get into the presence of God, I do not realize that I am a sinner in an indefinite sense; I realize the concentration of sin in a particular feature of my…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Pharaoh’s dream has too often been my waking experience.

    Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the uttermost farthing. Matthew 5:26. “There is no heaven with a little of hell in it.” God is determined to make you pure and holy and right; he will not allow you to escape for one moment from…

  • HE KEEPS ME SINGING

    Words and Music by Luther B. Bridgers, 1884–1948 If you obey My commands, you will remain in My love, just as I have obeyed My Father’s commands and remain in His love. I have told you this so that My joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. (John 15:10–11) Joy…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    The streams of living water which flow from Jerusalem are not dried up by the parching heats of sultry midsummer any more than they were frozen by the cold winds of blustering winter. Rejoice, O my soul, that thou art spared to testify of the faithfulness of the Lord. The seasons change and thou changest,…

  • DO IT NOW

    My Utmost For His Highst Agree with thine adversary quickly. Matthew 5:25. Jesus Christ is laying down this principle—Do what you know you must do, now, and do it quickly; if you do not, the inevitable process will begin to work and you will have to pay to the last farthing in pain and agony…

  • WHY DO I SING ABOUT JESUS?
