  • THE RELINQUISHED LIFE

    My Utmost For His Highest I am crucified with Christ. Gal. 2:20. No one is ever united with Jesus Christ until he is willing to relinquish not sin only, but his whole way of looking at things. To be born from above of the Spirit of God means that we must let go before we…

  • UNDAUNTED RADIANCE

    My Utmost For His Highest Nay, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. Romans 8:37. Paul is speaking of the things that might seem likely to separate or wedge in between the saint and the love of God; but the remarkable thing is that nothing can wedge in…

  • AMID A CROWD OF PALTRY THINGS

    My Utmost For His Highest … in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses. 2 Cor. 6:4. It takes Almighty grace to take the next step when there is no vision and no spectator—the next step in devotion, the next step in your study, in your reading, in your kitchen; the next step in…

  • IS HE REALLY LORD?

    My Utmost For His Highest … so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus. Acts 20:24. Joy means the perfect fulfilment of that for which I was created and regenerated, not the successful doing of a thing. The joy Our Lord had lay…

  • COULD THIS BE TRUE OF ME?

    My Utmost For His Highest But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself. Acts 20:24. It is easier to serve God without a vision, easier to work for God without a call, because then you are not bothered by what God requires; common sense is your guide, veneered…

  • THE UNRELIEVED QUEST

    My Utmost For His Highest Feed My sheep. John 21:17. This is love in the making. The love of God is un-made, it is God’s nature. When we receive the Holy Spirit He unites us with God so that His love is manifested in us. When the soul is united to God by the indwelling…

  • HAVE YOU FELT THE HURT OF THE LORD?

    My Utmost For His Highest Jesus said unto him the third time, Lovest thou Me? John 21:17. Have you felt the hurt of the Lord to the uncovered quick, the place where the real sensitiveness of your life is lodged? The devil never hurts there, neither sin nor human affection hurts there, nothing goes through…

  • THE UNDEVIATING QUESTION

    My Utmost For His Highest Lovest thou Me? John 21:17. Peter declares nothing now (cf. Matthew 26:33–35 ). Natural individuality professes and declares; the love of the personality is only discovered by the hurt of the question of Jesus Christ. Peter loved Jesus in the way in which any natural man loves a good man.…

  • DO YE NOW BELIEVE?

    My Utmost For His Highest By this we believe … Jesus answered, Do ye now believe? John 16:30–31 . ‘Now we believe.’ Jesus says—‘Do you? The time is coming when you will leave Me alone.’ Many a Christian worker has left Jesus Christ alone and gone into work from a sense of duty, or from…

  • THE IMPOVERISHED MINISTRY OF JESUS

    The impoverished ministry of Jesus From whence then hast Thou that living water? John 4:11. “The well is deep”—and a great deal deeper than the Samaritan woman knew! Think of the depths of human nature, of human life, think of the depths of the ‘wells’ in you. Have you been impoverishing the ministry of Jesus…
