  • SITTING AT THE FEET OF JESUS

    Source of words and music unknown Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her. (Luke 10:42) The story of Martha the worker and Mary the worshiper (Luke 10:38–42) illustrates an important spiritual principle: We please our Lord most when we learn to sit at His feet in adoration…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    The glorified weep no more, for all outward causes of grief are gone. There are no broken friendships, nor blighted prospects in heaven. Poverty, famine, peril, persecution, and slander, are unknown there. No pain distresses, no thought of death or bereavement saddens. They weep no more, for they are perfectly sanctified. No “evil heart of…

  • “I INDEED … BUT HE”

    My Utmost For His Highest I indeed baptize you with water … but He … shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and fire. Matthew 3:11. Have I ever come to a place in my experience where I can say—“I indeed … but He”? Until that moment does come, I will never know what the…

  • WHITER THAN SNOW

    James Nicholson, c. 1828–1876 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. (Psalm 51:7) God’s people have been placed in their particular circle of influence so they can demonstrate purity and a concern for righteousness. If we do not fulfill this role, who will? It…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Such is the language of the believer panting after present fellowship with Jesus, he is sick for his Lord. Gracious souls are never perfectly at ease except they are in a state of nearness to Christ; for when they are away from him they lose their peace. The nearer to him, the nearer to the…

  • THE MINISTRY OF THE UNNOTICED

    My Utmost For His Highest Blessed are the poor in spirit. Matthew 5:3. The New Testament notices things which from our standards do not seem to count. “Blessed are the poor in spirit,” literally—Blessed are the paupers—an exceedingly commonplace thing! The preaching of to-day is apt to emphasize strength of will, beauty of character—the things…

  • MORE ABOUT JESUS

    Eliza E. Hewitt, 1851–1920 I want to know Christ and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in His sufferings, becoming like Him in His death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. (Philippians 3:10, 11) The Christian gospel is thrilling to contemplate. It is so simple that…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    We are here taught the great lesson, that to get, we must give; that to accumulate, we must scatter; that to make ourselves happy, we must make others happy; and that in order to become spiritually vigorous, we must seek the spiritual good of others. In watering others, we are ourselves watered. How? Our efforts…

  • COMPLETENESS

    My Utmost For His Highest And I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28. Whenever anything begins to disintegrate your life with Jesus Christ, turn to Him at once and ask Him to establish rest. Never allow anything to remain which is making the dis-peace. Take every element of disintegration as something to wrestle against, and…

  • CLEANSE ME

    J. Edwin Orr, 1912–1988 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9) The inspiration of a thrilling revival in New Zealand prompted the late J. Edwin Orr to blend the 23rd and 24th verses of Psalm 139 with…
