  • WHERE THE BATTLE’S LOST AND WON

    My Utmost For His Highest If thou wilt return, O Israel, saith the Lord.… Jeremiah 4:1. The battle is lost or won in the secret places of the will before God, never first in the external world. The Spirit of God apprehends me and I am obliged to get alone with God and fight the…

  • PLACED IN THE LIGHT

    My Utmost For His Highest If we walk in the light, as He is in the light, … the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin. 1 John 1:7. To mistake conscious freedom from sin for deliverance from sin by the Atonement is a great error. No man knows what sin…

  • HIS BIRTH AND OUR NEW BIRTH

    My Utmost For His Highest Behold, a virgin shall bring forth a son, and they shall call His name Emanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. Isaiah 7:14 (R.V.). His Birth in History. “Therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God” (Luke 1:35). Jesus…

  • THE HIDDEN LIFE

    My Utmost For His Highest The Spirit of God witnesses to the simple, almighty security of the life hid with Christ in God, and this is continually brought out in the Epistles. We talk as if it were the most precarious thing to live the sanctified life; it is the most secure thing, because it…

  • HOW CAN I PERSONALLY PARTAKE IN THE ATONEMENT?

    My Utmost For His Highest But God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Gal. 6:14. The Gospel of Jesus Christ always forces an issue of will. Do I accept God’s verdict on sin in the Cross of Christ? Have I the slightest interest in the death of…

  • THE DRAWING OF THE FATHER

    My Utmost For His Highest No man can come to Me, except the Father which hath sent Me draw him. John 6:44. When God draws me, the issue of my will comes in at once—will I react on the revelation which God gives; will I come to Him? Discussion on spiritual matters is an impertinence.…

  • EXPERIENCE OR REVELATION

    My Utmost For His Highest We have received … the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 1 Cor. 2:12. Reality is Redemption, not my experience of Redemption; but Redemption has no meaning for me until it speaks the language of my conscious…

  • THE RIGHT LINES OF WORK

    My Utmost For His Highest I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto Me. John 12:32. Very few of us have any understanding of the reason why Jesus Christ died. If sympathy is all that human beings need, then the Cross of Christ is a farce, there was no need for it.…

  • WHAT TO CONCENTRATE ON

    My Utmost For His Highest I came not to send peace, but a sword. Matthew 10:34 I came not to send peace, but a sword. Matthew 10:34. Never be sympathetic with the soul whose case makes you come to the conclusion that God is hard. God is more tender than we can conceive, and every…

  • THE TEST OF LOYALTY

    My Utmost For His Highest And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God. Romans 8:28. It is only the loyal soul who believes that God engineers circumstances. We take such liberties with our circumstances, we do not believe God engineers them, although we say we do; we treat…
