  • Morning & Evening

    Jesus, the Redeemer, is altogether ours and ours for ever. All the offices of Christ are held on our behalf. He is king for us, priest for us, and prophet for us. Whenever we read a new title of the Redeemer, let us appropriate him as ours under that name as much as under any…

  • JESUS IS ALL THE WORLD TO ME

    Amazing Grace Words and Music by Will L. Thompson, 1847–1909 I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him. (Philippians 3:8, 9) The author and composer…

  • Morning & Evening

    The prayer itself is remarkable, for it is short, but seasonable, sententious, and suggestive. David mourned the fewness of faithful men, and therefore lifted up his heart in supplication—when the creature failed, he flew to the Creator. He evidently felt his own weakness, or he would not have cried for help; but at the same…

  • JUST AS I AM

    Amazing Grace Charlotte Elliott, 1789–1871 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me will never go hungry, and he who believes in Me will never be thirsty. All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will never drive away.” (John 6:35,…

    The Christian should never think or speak lightly of unbelief. For a child of God to mistrust his love, his truth, his faithfulness, must be greatly displeasing to him.

You have the words of eternal life.” (John 6:68) Wars, earthquakes, famines, violence, drugs, child abuse, humanism, the occult, New Age … When world events and ideologies like these seem ominous and unsettling to us…

  • Morning & Evening

    It was far above the power of nature, and even contrary to its laws, that the aged Sarah should be honoured with a son; and even so it is beyond all ordinary rules that I, a poor, helpless, undone sinner, should find grace to bear about in my soul the indwelling Spirit of the Lord…

  • ROOM AT THE CROSS FOR YOU

    Amazing Grace Words and Music by Ira R. Stanphill, 1914–1994 But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8) Out of the varied experiences of a fruitful life have come the many moving hymns of Ira F. Stanphill. As a child he traveled…

  • Morning & Evening

    The teaching of these words must seem very surprising to those who are strangers to vital godliness, but to the sincere believer it is only the inculcation of a recognized truth. The life of the believer is here described as a delight in God, and we are thus certified of the great fact that true…

  • LET JESUS COME INTO YOUR HEART

    Words and Music by Lelia N. Morris, 1862–1929 I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation.
