  • THE RELINQUISHED LIFE

    My Utmost For His Highest I am crucified with Christ. Gal. 2:20. No one is ever united with Jesus Christ until he is willing to relinquish not sin only, but his whole way of looking at things. To be born from above of the Spirit of God means that we must let go before we…

  • SAVIOR, LIKE A SHEPHERD LEAD US

  • MORNING & EVENING

    God’s people have their trials. It was never designed by God, when he chose his people, that they should be an untried people. They were chosen in the furnace of affliction; they were never chosen to worldly peace and earthly joy. Freedom from sickness and the pains of mortality was never promised them; but when…

    My Utmost For His Highest Nay, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. Romans 8:37. Paul is speaking of the things that might seem likely to separate or wedge in between the saint and the love of God; but the remarkable thing is that nothing can wedge in…

  • NO, NOT ONE!

    Amazing Grace Johnson Oatman, Jr., 1856–1922 I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends … (John 15:15) He became poor that we might become rich (James 2:5).He was born that we might be born again (John 1:14).He became a servant that we…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Regeneration is a subject which lies at the very basis of salvation, and we should be very diligent to take heed that we really are “born again,” for there are many who fancy they are, who are not. Be assured that the name of a Christian is not the nature of a Christian; and that…

  • IS HE REALLY LORD?

    My Utmost For His Highest … so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus. Acts 20:24. Joy means the perfect fulfilment of that for which I was created and regenerated, not the successful doing of a thing. The joy Our Lord had lay…
