  • Morning & Evening

    Doubting one! thou hast often said, “I fear I shall never enter heaven.” Fear not! all the people of God shall enter there. I love the quaint saying of a dying man, who exclaimed, “I have no fear of going home; I have sent all before me; God’s finger is on the latch of my…

  • INTERCESSORY INTROSPECTION

    My Utmost For His Highest And I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless. 1 Thess. 5:23. “Your whole spirit …” The great mystical work of the Holy Spirit is in the dim regions of our personality which we cannot get at. Read the 139th Psalm; the Psalmist implies—‘Thou art…

  • PRAYER IS THE SOUL’S SINCERE DESIRE

    Amazing Grace James Montgomery, 1771–1854 Men ought always to pray, and not to faint. (Luke 18:1 KJV) Living a life without prayer is like building a house without nails.— Unknown Prayer is releasing the energies of God.

  • Morning & Evening

    Christian! here is all thou canst require. To make thee happy thou wantest something that shall satisfy thee; and is not this enough? If thou canst pour this promise into thy cup, wilt thou not say, with David, “My cup runneth over; I have more than heart can wish”? When this is fulfilled, “I am…

  • DOES MY SACRIFICE LIVE?

    My Utmost For His Highest And Abraham built an altar … and bound Isaac his son. Genesis 22:9. This incident is a picture of the blunder we make in thinking that the final thing God wants of us is the sacrifice of death. What God wants is the sacrifice through death which enables us to…

  • Morning & Evening

    What a veil is lifted up by these words, and what a disclosure is made! It will be humbling and profitable for us to pause awhile and see this sad sight. The iniquities of our public worship, its hypocrisy, formality, lukewarmness, irreverence, wandering of heart and forgetfulness of God, what a full measure have we…

  • INTIMATE WITH JESUS

    My Utmost For His Highest Have I been so long with you, and yet hast thou not known Me? John 14:9. These words are not spoken as a rebuke, nor even with surprise; Jesus is leading Philip on. The last One with whom we get intimate is Jesus. Before Pentecost the disciples knew Jesus as…

  • TEACH ME TO PRAY

    Amazing Grace Words and Music by Albert S. Reitz, 1879–1966 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (Hebrews 4:16) One of the most important emphases during this season of Epiphany is that of prayer, both…

  • Morning & Evening

    The believer did not always live to Christ. He began to do so when God the Holy Spirit convinced him of sin, and when by grace he was brought to see the dying Saviour making a propitiation for his guilt. From the moment of the new and celestial birth the man begins to live to…
