  • MORNING & EVENING

    Faith is full of inventions. The house was full, a crowd blocked up the door, but faith found a way of getting at the Lord and placing the palsied man before him. If we cannot get sinners where Jesus is by ordinary methods we must use extraordinary ones. It seems, according to Luke 5:19, that…

  • DIVISIVENESS OF LIFE

    My Utmost For His Highest Rivers of living water. John 7:38. A river touches places of which its source knows nothing, and Jesus says if we have received of His fulness, however small the visible measure of our lives, out of us will flow the rivers that will bless to the uttermost parts of the…

  • BRETHREN, WE HAVE MET TO WORSHIP

    George Atkins, 19th century Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name. Bring an offering and come before Him; worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness. (1 Chronicles 16:29) The apostle Paul’s favorite name for fellow believers was “brethren.” He used this term at least 60 times throughout his various epistles. Paul’s…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    We use lights to make manifest. A Christian man should so shine in his life, that a person could not live with him a week without knowing the gospel. His conversation should be such that all who are about him should clearly perceive whose he is, and whom he serves; and should see the image…

  • THE MISSIONARY WATCHING

    My Utmost For His Highest Watch with Me. Matthew 26:40. “Watch with Me”—with no private point of view of your own at all, but watch entirely with Me. In the early stages we do not watch with Jesus, we watch for Him. We do not watch with Him through the revelation of the Bible; in…

  • O DAY OF REST AND GLADNESS

    Christopher Wordsworth, 1807–1885 There remains, then, a Sabbath-rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rests from his own work, just as God did from His. Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest … (Hebrews 4:9, 10, 11) Christopher Wordsworth, a nephew of the renowned English poet,…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    As a Christian you have to live in the midst of an ungodly world, and it is of little use for you to cry “Woe is me.” Jesus did not pray that you should be taken out of the world, and what he did not pray for, you need not desire. Better far in the…

  • HIS!

    My Utmost For His Highest Thine they were, and Thou gavest them Me. John 17:6. The missionary is one in whom the Holy Ghost has wrought this realization—“Ye are not your own.” To say ‘I am not my own,’ is to have reached a great point in spiritual nobility. The true nature of the life…

  • O BREATH OF LIFE

    Bessie P. Head, 1850–1936 I have heard of Your fame; I stand in awe of Your deeds, O Lord. Renew them in our day, in our time make them known. (Habakkuk 3:2) Set us afire, Lord, stir us, we pray—while the world perishes, we go our wayPurposeless, passionless, day after day; set us afire, Lord,…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Primeval darkness heard the Almighty fiat, “light be,” and straightway light was, and the word of the Lord Jesus is equal in majesty to that ancient word of power. Redemption like Creation has its word of might. Jesus speaks and it is done. Leprosy yielded to no human remedies, but it fled at once at…
