  • WHY ARE WE NOT TOLD PLAINLY

    My Utmost For His Highest He charged them that they should tell no man what things they had seen, till the Son of man were risen from the dead. Mark 9:9. Say nothing until the Son of man is risen in you—until the life of the risen Christ so dominates you that you understand what…

  • THE COLLISION OF GOD AND SIN

    My Utmost For His Highest Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree. 1 Peter 2:24. The Cross of Jesus is the revelation of God’s judgment on sin. Never tolerate the idea of martyrdom about the Cross of Jesus Christ. The Cross was a superb triumph in which the…

  • HIS AGONY AND OUR FELLOWSHIP

    My Utmost For His Highest Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, … tarry ye here, and watch with Me. Matthew 26:36, 38. We can never fathom the agony in Gethsemane, but at least we need not misunderstand it. It is the agony of God and Man…

  • THOSE BORDERS OF DISTRUST

    My Utmost For His Highest Behold, the hour cometh, … that ye shall be scattered. John 16:32. Jesus is not rebuking the disciples, their faith was real, but it was disturbed; it was not at work in actual things. The disciples were scattered to their own interests, alive to interests that never were in Jesus…

  • IF THOU HAD KNOWN

    My Utmost For His Highest If thou hadst known … in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes. Luke 19:42. Jesus had entered into Jerusalem in triumph, the city was stirred to its foundations; but a strange god was there, the pride of Pharisaism;…

  • THE GLORY THAT EXCELS

    My Utmost For His Highest The Lord … hath sent me that thou mightest receive thy sight. Acts 9:17. When Paul received his sight he received spiritually an insight into the Person of Jesus Christ, and the whole of his subsequent life and preaching was nothing but Jesus Christ—“I determined not to know anything among…

  • HEARTINESS V HEARTLESSNESS TOWARDS OTHERS

    My Utmost For His Highest It is Christ … who also maketh intercession for us … The Spirit … maketh intercession for the saints. Romans 8:34, 27. Do we need any more argument than this to become intercessors—that Christ “ever liveth to make intercession”; that the Holy Spirit “maketh intercession for the saints”? Are we…

  • HEEDFULNESS V. HYPOCRISY IN OURSELVES

    If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and He shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. 1 John 5:16. If we are not heedful of the way the Spirit of God works in us, we shall become spiritual hypocrites. We see…

  • HOLINESS V HARDNESS TOWARD GOD

    My Utmost For His Highest And He … wondered that there was no intercessor. Isaiah 59:16. The reason many of us leave off praying and become hard towards God is because we have only a sentimental interest in prayer. It sounds right to say that we pray; we read books on prayer which tell us…

  • OUR LORD’S SURPRISE VISITS

    My Utmost For His Highest Be ye therefore ready also. Luke 12:40. The great need for the Christian worker is to be ready to face Jesus Christ at any and every turn. This is not easy, no matter what our experience is. The battle is not against sin or difficulties or circumstances, but against being…
