  • A SHELTER IN THE TIME OF STORM

    Vernon J. Charlesworth, 1838–1915 with alteration You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance. (Psalm 32:7) Storms often hit the northern coast of England bringing distress to the many small fishing vessels that ply the coastal waters. It is reported that “A Shelter in the…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Anger is not always or necessarily sinful, but it has such a tendency to run wild that whenever it displays itself, we should be quick to question its character, with this enquiry, “Doest thou well to be angry?” It may be that we can answer, “YES.” Very frequently anger is the madman’s firebrand, but sometimes…

  • THE SPIRITUAL SOCIETY

    My Utmost For His Highest Till we all come … unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ. Eph. 4:13. Rehabilitation means the putting back of the whole human race into the relationship God designed it to be in, and this is what Jesus Christ did in Redemption. The Church ceases to…

  • HIDING IN THEE

    William O. Cushing, 1823–1902 But the Lord has become my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge. (Psalm 94:22) In childhood when we were frightened we wanted to run and hide in our mother’s or father’s arms until we felt the danger had passed. In the same way when trouble and…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Mark the union of the Three Divine Persons in all their gracious acts. How unwisely do those believers talk who make preferences in the Persons of the Trinity; who think of Jesus as if he were the embodiment of everything lovely and gracious, while the Father they regard as severely just, but destitute of kindness.…

  • THE SPIRITUAL SAINT

  • GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU

    Civilla D. Martin, 1869–1948 Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous fall. (Psalm 55:22) Do we as Christians trust God for salvation and eternal life yet at times doubt that He will tenderly care for us in our daily life? We all seem to need…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    You have seen the arch of heaven as it spans the plain: glorious are its colours, and rare its hues. It is beautiful, but, alas, it passes away, and lo, it is not. The fair colours give way to the fleecy clouds, and the sky is no longer brilliant with the tints of heaven. It…

  • THE SPIRITUAL SLUGGARD

    My Utmost For His Highest Let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works; not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together. Hebrews 10:24–25 . We are all capable of being spiritual sluggards; we do not want to mix with the rough and tumble of life as it is, our one object…

  • NO ONE UNDERSTANDS LIKE JESUS

    NO ONE UNDERSTANDS LIKE JESUS Words and Music by John W. Peterson, 1921–2006 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace…
