Morning & Evening
Comfort thyself, tried believer, with this thought: God saith, “I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction.” Does not the word come like a soft shower, assuaging the fury of the flame? Yea, is it not an asbestos armour, against which the heat hath no power? Let affliction come—God has chosen me. Poverty, thou…

ALL OF GRACE
C. H. Spurgeon Chapter 8 What Is Faith? WHAT IS THIS FAITH concerning which it is said, “By grace are ye saved, through faith?” There are many descriptions of faith, but almost all the definitions I have heard have made me understand it less than I did before I saw them. Someone said when he…

JESUS LOVES ME
Amazing Grace Anna B. Warner, 1820–1915 I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it. (Luke 18:17) The story is told of a brilliant professor at Princeton Seminary who always left his graduation class with these words: “Gentlemen, there is still much…

Morning & Evening
We are engaged in a great war with the Philistines of evil. Every weapon within our reach must be used. Preaching, teaching, praying, giving, all must be brought into action, and talents which have been thought too mean for service, must now be employed. Coulter, and axe, and mattock, may all be useful in slaying…

ALL OF GRACE
By Grace Through Faith C. H. Spurgeon Chapter 7 I THINK IT WELL to turn a little to one side that I may ask you to observe adoringly the fountainhead of our salvation, which is the grace of God. “By grace are ye saved” (Eph 2:8). Because God is gracious, therefore sinful men are forgiven,…

Spurgeon Chapter 6 I WOULD LIKE TO SAY a plain word or two to those who understand the method of justification by faith which is in Christ Jesus, but whose trouble is that they cannot cease from sin. We can never be happy, restful, or spiritually healthy till we become…

IN THE HEAVENLY LOVE ABIDING
Amazing Grace Anna L. Warning, 1823–1910 But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus. (Ephesians 2:4–6) Those who…

Morning & Evening
The thunders of the law and the terrors of judgment are all used to bring us to Christ; but the final victory is effected by lovingkindness. The prodigal set out to his father’s house from a sense of need; but his father saw him a great way off, and ran to meet him; so that…

SWEETER AS THE YEARS GO BY
Amazing Grace Words and Music by Lelia N. Morris, 1862–1929 The righteous will flourish like a palm tree, they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon; planted in the house of the Lord, they will flourish in the courts of our God. They will still bear fruit in old age, they stay fresh and green,…

Morning & Evening
It is the believer’s privilege to use this language. If he is looking for aught from the world, it is a poor “expectation” indeed. But if he looks to God for the supply of his wants, whether in temporal or spiritual blessings, his “expectation” will not be a vain one. Constantly he may draw from…
