  • WALK IN THE LIGHT

    Amazing Grace Bernard Barton, 1784–1849 But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from every sin. (1 John 1:7) How beautiful to walk in the steps of the SaviorLed in paths of light.— E. Hewitt…

  • Morning & Evening

    The time when Christians begin to sing in the ways of the Lord is when they first lose their burden at the foot of the Cross. Not even the songs of the angels seem so sweet as the first song of rapture which gushes from the inmost soul of the forgiven child of God. You…

  • PRAYER & SPIRITUAL WARFARE

    E. M. BoundsChapter 6 Prayer That Is Persistent How glibly we talk of praying without ceasing! Yet, we are quite ready to quit if our prayer remains unanswered but one week or month! We assume that by a stroke of His arm or an action of His will, God will give us what we ask.…

  • TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS

    Amazing Grace Words and Music by Helen H. Lemmel, 1864–1961 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:2) I’ve seen the face…

  • Morning & Evening

    It will always give a Christian the greatest calm, quiet, ease, and peace, to think of the perfect righteousness of Christ. How often are the saints of God downcast and sad! I do not think they ought to be. I do not think they would if they could always see their perfection in Christ. There…

  • Morning & Evening

    The members of Christ’s Church should be very prayerful, always seeking the unction of the Holy One to rest upon their hearts, that the kingdom of Christ may come, and that his “will be done on earth, even as it is in heaven;” but there are times when God seems especially to favour Zion, such…

  • PRAYER & SPIRITUAL WARFARE

    E. M. BoundsChapter 3 PRAYER AND TRUSTING GOD One evening I left my office in New York with a bitterly cold wind in my face. I had with me (as I thought) my thick, warm muffler, but when I proceeded to button up against the storm, I found that it was gone. I turned back,…

  • O, ZION HASTE

    Amazing Grace Mary Ann Thomson, 1834–1923 May Your ways be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations. (Psalm 67:2) The Christian church is God’s appointed means of spreading the gospel around the world. A church that is not a missionary church will quench the Spirit of God and miss His blessing. God’s agenda for…

  • TAKE T HE NAME OF JESUS WITH YOU

    Amazing Grace E. Margaret Clarkson, 1915–2008 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” And I said, “Here am I. Send me!” (Isaiah 6:8) Isolated from Christian fellowship and feeling very lonely, Margaret Clarkson was a 23-year-old school teacher in a gold-mining camp town…

  • Morning & Evening

    In our Christian pilgrimage it is well, for the most part, to be looking forward. Forward lies the crown, and onward is the goal. Whether it be for hope, for joy, for consolation, or for the inspiring of our love, the future must, after all, be the grand object of the eye of faith. Looking…
