  • ARE YOU READY TO BE OFFERED?

    My Utmost For His Highest Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy and rejoice with you all. Phil. 2:17. Are you willing to be offered for the work of the faithful—to pour out your life blood as a libation on the sacrifice of the faith of…

  • THE OVERMASTERING MAJESTY OF PERSONAL POWER

    My Utmost For His Highest For the love of Christ constraineth us. 2 Cor. 5:14. Paul says he is overruled, overmastered, held as in a vice, by the love of Christ. Very few of us know what it means to be held in a grip by the love of God; we are held by the…

  • THE RECOGNIZED BAN OF RELATIONSHIP

    My Utmost For His Highest We are made as the filth of the world. 1 Cor. 4:9–13 . These words are not an exaggeration. The reason they are not true of us who call ourselves ministers of the gospel is not that Paul forgot the exact truth in using them, but that we have too…

  • THE CONSTRAINT OF THE CALL

    My Utmost For His Highest Woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel! 1 Cor. 9:16. Beware of stopping your ears to the call of God. Everyone who is saved is called to testify to the fact; but that is not the call to preach, it is merely an illustration in preaching. Paul…

  • THE CALL OF GOD

    My Utmost For His Highest For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the Gospel. 1 Cor 1:17 Paul states here that the call of God is to preach the gospel; but remember what Paul means by “the gospel” viz., the reality of Redemption in our Lord Jesus Christ. We are apt to…

  • DO YOU SEE YOUR CALLING?

    My Utmost For His Highest Separated unto the Gospel. Romans 1:1. Our calling is not primarily to be holy men and women, but to be proclaimers of the Gospel of God. The one thing that is all important is that the Gospel of God should be realized as the abiding Reality. Reality is not human…

  • THE DILEMMA OF OBEDIENCE

    My Utmost For His Highest And Samuel feared to shew Eli the vision. 1 Samuel 3:15. God seldom speaks to us in startling ways, but in ways that are easy to misunderstand, and we say, ‘I wonder if that is God’s voice?’ Isaiah said that the Lord spake to him “with a strong hand,” that…

  • BUT IT IS HARDLY CREDIBLE THAT ONE COULD BE SO POSITIVELY IGNORANT!

    My Utmost For His Highest Who art Thou, Lord? Acts 26:15. “The Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand.” There is no escape when Our Lord speaks. He always comes with an arrestment of the understanding. Has the voice of God come to you directly? If it has, you cannot mistake the intimate…

  • BUT IT IS HARDLY CREDIBLE THAT ONE SHOULD SO PERSECUTE JESUS!

    My Utmost For His Highest Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me? Acts 26:14. Am I set on my own way for God? We are never free from this snare until we are brought into the experience of the baptism of the Holy Ghost and fire. Obstinacy and self-will will always stab Jesus Christ. It may…

  • LOOK AGAIN AND THINK

    My Utmost For His Highest Take no thought for your life. Matthew 6:25. A warning which needs to be reiterated is that the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the lust of other things entering in, will choke all that God puts in. We are never free from the recurring tides of…
