  • SHALL I ROUSE MYSELF UP TO THIS?

    My Utmost For His Highest Perfecting holiness in the fear of God. 2 Cor. 7:1. “Having therefore these promises.” I claim the fulfilment of God’s promises, and rightly, but that is only the human side; the Divine side is that through the promises I recognize God’s claim on me. For instance, am I realizing that…

  • THE WORKER’S RULING PASSION

    My Utmost For His Highest Wherefore we labour, that, … we may be accepted of Him. 2 Cor. 5:9. “Wherefore we labour …” It is arduous work to keep the master ambition in front. It means holding one’s self to the high ideal year in and year out, not being ambitious to win souls or…

  • THE MASTER ASSIZES

    My Utmost For His Highest For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ. 2 Cor. 5:10 Paul says that we must all, preacher and people alike, “appear before the judgment seat of Christ.” If you learn to live in the white light of Christ here and now, judgment finally will cause you…

  • THE DISCIPLINE OF DISMAY

    My Utmost For His Highest And as they followed, they were afraid. Mark 10:32. At the beginning we were sure we knew all about Jesus Christ, it was a delight to sell all and to fling ourselves out in a hardihood of love; but now we are not quite so sure. Jesus is on in…

  • OBEDIENCE

    His servants ye are to whom ye obey. Romans 6:16. The first thing to do in examining the power that dominates me is to take hold of the unwelcome fact that I am responsible for being thus dominated because I have yielded. If I am a slave to myself, I am to blame for it…

  • THE ABANDONMENT OF GOD

    My Utmost For His Highest God so loved the world that He gave … John 3:16. Salvation is not merely deliverance from sin, nor the experience of personal holiness; the salvation of God is deliverance out of self entirely into union with Himself. My experimental knowledge of salvation will be along the line of deliverance…

  • ABANDONMENT

    Then Peter began to say unto Him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed Thee.… Mark 10:28. Our Lord replies, in effect, that abandonment is for Himself, and not for what the disciples themselves will get from it. Beware of an abandonment which has the commercial spirit in it—‘I am going to give myself…

  • VISION

    My Utmost For His Highest I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision. Acts 26:19. If we lose the vision, we alone are responsible, and the way we lose the vision is by spiritual leakage. If we do not run our belief about God into practical issues, it is all up with the vision God…

  • HAVE A MESSAGE AND BE ONE

    My Utmost For His Highest Preach the word. 2 Tim. 4:2. We are not saved to be “channels only,” but to be sons and daughters of God. We are not turned into spiritual mediums, but into spiritual messengers; the message must be part of ourselves. The Son of God was His own message, His words…

  • THE TIME OF RELEASE

    My Utmost For His Highest Will ye also go away? John 6:67. A penetrating question. Our Lord’s words come home most when He talks in the most simple way. We know Who Jesus is, but in spite of that He says—“Will ye also go away?” We have to maintain a venturing attitude toward Him all…
