  • Morning & Eveing

    It is a sweet thought that Jesus Christ did not come forth without his Father’s permission, authority, consent, and assistance. He was sent of the Father, that he might be the Saviour of men. We are too apt to forget that, while there are distinctions as to the persons in the Trinity, there are no…

  • THE OVERMASTERING MAJESTY OF PERSONAL POWER

    My Utmost For His Highest For the love of Christ constraineth us. 2 Cor. 5:14. Paul says he is overruled, overmastered, held as in a vice, by the love of Christ. Very few of us know what it means to be held in a grip by the love of God; we are held by the…

  • LOVE DIVINE ALL LOVES EXCELLING

    Amazing Grace Charles Wesley, 1707–1788 This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. (1 John 4:9) We must never underestimate the power of love in our human relationships—whether marriages, family, business associations, or friendships. The divine love of…

  • Morning & Evening

    Believer, look back through all thine experience, and think of the way whereby the Lord thy God has led thee in the wilderness, and how he hath fed and clothed thee every day—how he hath borne with thine ill manners—how he hath put up with all thy murmurings, and all thy longings after the flesh-pots…

  • THE RECOGNIZED BAN OF RELATIONSHIP

    My Utmost For His Highest We are made as the filth of the world. 1 Cor. 4:9–13 . These words are not an exaggeration. The reason they are not true of us who call ourselves ministers of the gospel is not that Paul forgot the exact truth in using them, but that we have too…

  • O THE DEEP, DEEP LOVE OF JESUS

    Amazing Grace S. Trevor Francis, 1834–1925 I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ. (Ephesians 3:17, 18) Who can fully grasp the dimensions of God’s great love for us? Yet the…

  • Morning & Evening

    As God’s creatures, we are all debtors to him: to obey him with all our body, and soul, and strength. Having broken his commandments, as we all have, we are debtors to his justice, and we owe to him a vast amount which we are not able to pay. But of the Christian it can…

  • THE CONSTRAINT OF THE CALL

    My Utmost For His Highest Woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! 1 Cor. 9:16. Beware of stopping your ears to the call of God. Everyone who is saved is called to testify to the fact; but that is not the call to preach, it is merely an illustration in preaching. Paul…

  • JESUS, THOU JOY OF LOVING HEARTS

    Amazing Grace Attributed to Bernard of Clairvaux, 1091–1153Translated by Ray Palmer, 1808–1887 I have told you this so that My joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. (John 15:11) This song is another of the fine hymn texts that originated during the Middle Ages. It is thought to have been…

  • Morning & Evening

    This is the voice of unalterable truth. In none of the Jewish ceremonies were sins, even typically, removed without blood-shedding. In no case, by no means can sin be pardoned without atonement. It is clear, then, that there is no hope for me out of Christ; for there is no other blood-shedding which is worth…
