  • BEYOND THE SUNSET

    Amazing Grace Virgil P. Brock, 1887–1978 Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. (1 Corinthians 13:12) The ability to see “beyond the sunset”—to anticipate the glories of God’s…

  • Morning & Evening

    “Nevertheless,”—As if, notwithstanding all the foolishness and ignorance which David had just been confessing to God, not one atom the less was it true and certain that David was saved and accepted, and that the blessing of being constantly in God’s presence was undoubtedly his. Fully conscious of his own lost estate, and of the…

  • AFTER

    Amazing Grace Words and Music by N. B. Vandall, 1896–1970 … weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning. (Psalm 30:5) How much more content we are if we know that after some trying or painful experience, there will be pleasure and a reward. Such thoughts help to spur on the…

  • Morning & Evening

    Remember this is the confession of the man after God’s own heart; and in telling us his inner life, he writes, “So foolish was I, and ignorant.” The word “foolish,” here, means more than it signifies in ordinary language. David, in a former verse of the Psalm, writes, “I was envious at the foolish when…

  • FACE TO FACE

    Amazing Grace Carrie E. Breck, 1855–1934 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when He appears we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. Everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just…

  • Morning & Evening

    If you would know experimentally the preciousness of the promises, and enjoy them in your own heart, meditate much upon them. There are promises which are like grapes in the wine-press; if you will tread them the juice will flow. Thinking over the hallowed words will often be the prelude to their fulfilment. While you…

  • HE THE PEARLY GATES WILL OPEN

    Amazing Grace Fredrick A. Blom, 1867–1927 Translated by Nathaniel Carlson, 1879–1957 But as it is written, eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him. (1 Corinthians 2:9 KJV) Out of the repentant heart of a backslidden Swedish pastor…

  • Morning & Evening

    If thou wouldest enjoy the eminent grace of the full assurance of faith, under the blessed Spirit’s influence, and assistance, do what the Scripture tells thee, “Give diligence.” Take care that thy faith is of the right kind—that it is not a mere belief of doctrine, but a simple faith, depending on Christ, and on…

  • ON JORDAN’S STORMY BANKS

    Amazing Grace Samuel Stennett, 1727–1795 If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men. (1 Corinthians 15:19) In this day of the “throwaway” and the temporary, Christians must live according to their belief in eternity. The apostle Paul reminded the believers at Corinth that if…

  • Morning & Evening

    In contending with certain sins there remains no mode of victory but by flight. The ancient naturalists wrote much of basilisks, whose eyes fascinated their victims and rendered them easy victims; so the mere gaze of wickedness puts us in solemn danger. He who would be safe from acts of evil must haste away from…
