Morning & Evening
Godly sorrow worketh repentance. — 2 Corinthians 7:10 Genuine, spiritual mourning for sin is the work of the Spirit of God. Repentance is too choice a flower to grow in nature’s garden. Pearls grow naturally in oysters, but penitence never shows itself in sinners except divine grace works it in them. If thou hast one…

Screwtape Letters (Part 8)
C. S. Lewis My dear Wormwood, You mentioned casually in your last letter that the patient has continued to attend one church, and one only, since he was converted, and that he is not wholly pleased with it. May I ask what you are about? Why have I no report on the causes of his…

Screwtape Letters (Part 7)
C. S. Lewis My dear Wormwood, The most alarming thing in your last account of the patient is that he is making none of those confident resolutions which marked his original conversion. No more lavish promises of perpetual virtue, I gather; not even the expectation of an endowment of ‘grace’ for life, but only a…

LEAD ON, O ETERNAL KING
Amazing Grace Ernest W. Shurtleff, 1862–1917 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who…

Morning & Evening
I will meditate in thy precepts. — Psalm 119:15 There are times when solitude is better than society, and silence is wiser than speech. We should be better Christians if we were more alone, waiting upon God, and gathering through meditation on his Word spiritual strength for labour in his service. We ought to muse…

Screwtape Letters (Part 6)
C. S. Lewis My dear Wormwood, Obviously you are making excellent progress. My only fear is lest in attempting to hurry the patient you awaken him to a sense of his real position. For you and I, who see that position as it really is, must never forget how totally different it ought to appear…

REVIVE US AGAIN
Amazing Grace William P. Mackay, 1839–1885 Will You not revive us again, that Your people may rejoice in You? (Psalm 85:6) The most desperate need of our day is a spiritual and moral renewal. This revival must begin with God’s people, you and me—the Church. It must be more than a mere increase in church…

Morning & Evening
Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.” —Lamentations 3:41 The act of prayer teaches us our unworthiness, which is a very salutary lesson for such proud beings as we are. If God gave us favours without constraining us to pray for them we should never know how poor…

Screwtape Letters (Part 5)
C. S. Lewis My dear Wormwood, I was delighted to hear from Triptweeze that your patient has made some very desirable new aquaintances and that you seem to have used this event in a really promising manner. I gather that the middle-aged married couple who called at his office are just the sort of people…

YE CHRISTIAN HERALDS
Amazing Grace Bourne H. Draper, 1775–1843 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “your God reigns!” (Isaiah 52:7) Many of us are often guilty of taking our pastors, missionaries, and Christian leaders for granted.…
