  • DO YE NOW BELIEVE?

    My Utmost For His Highest By this we believe … Jesus answered, Do ye now believe? John 16:30–31 . ‘Now we believe.’ Jesus says—‘Do you? The time is coming when you will leave Me alone.’ Many a Christian worker has left Jesus Christ alone and gone into work from a sense of duty, or from…

  • SWEETER AS THE YEARS GO BY

    Amazing Grace Words and Music by Lelia N. Morris, 1862–1929 The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God. They will still bear fruit in old age, they stay fresh and green,…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    It is the believer’s privilege to use this language. If he is looking for aught from the world, it is a poor “expectation” indeed.

    The impoverished ministry of Jesus From whence then hast Thou that living water? John 4:11. “The well is deep”—and a great deal deeper than the Samaritan woman knew!

    My Utmost For His Highest Sir, Thou hast nothing to draw with. John 4:11. ‘I am impressed with the wonder of what God says, but He cannot expect me really to live it out in the details of my life!’ When it comes to facing Jesus Christ on His own merits, our attitude is one…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Salvation is the work of God. It is he alone who quickens the soul “dead in trespasses and sins,” and it is he also who maintains the soul in its spiritual life. He is both “Alpha and Omega.” “Salvation is of the Lord.” If I am prayerful, God makes me prayerful; if I have graces,…

    My Utmost For His Highest Though the more abundantly I love you, the less I be loved. 2 Cor. 12:15. Natural love expects some return, but Paul says—‘I do not care whether you love me or not, I am willing to destitute myself completely, not merely for your sakes, but that I may get you…
