    Where the selective affinity dies and the sanctified abandon lives. Come ye after Me. Mark 1:17. One of the greatest hindrances in coming to Jesus is the excuse of temperament.

  • THE NEXT BEST THING TO DO

    My Utmost ForHis Highest Seek if you have not Found. “Seek, and ye shall find.” Luke 11:9. “Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss.” If you ask for things from life instead of from God, you ask amiss, that is, you ask from a desire for self-realization.

    My Utmost For His Highest He hath said … so that we may boldly say … Hebrews 13:5–6 . My say-so is to be built on God’s say-so. God says—“I will never leave thee,” then I can with good courage say—“The Lord is my helper, I will not fear”—I will not be haunted by apprehension.…

    My Utmost For His Highest For He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. Hebrews 13:5. What line does my thought take? Does it turn to what God says or to what I fear? Am I learning to say not what God says, but to say something after I have heard what…

  • THE SECRET OF THE LORD

    My Utmost For His Highest The secret (friendship R.V.) of the Lord is with them that fear Him. Psalm 25:14. What is the sign of a friend? That he tells you secret sorrows? No, that he tells you secret joys. Many will confide to you their secret sorrows, but the last mark of intimacy is…

  • WHAT ARE YOU HAUNTED BY

    My Utmost For His Highest What man is he that feareth the Lord? Psalm 25:12. What are you haunted by?
