DISCERNMENT OF FAITH
My Utmost For His Highest Faith as a grain of mustard seed.… Matthew 17:20 We have the idea that God rewards us for our faith, it may be so in the initial stages; but we do not earn anything by faith. Faith brings us into right relationship with God and gives God His opportunity. God…

A MIGHTY FORTRESS
Words and Music by Martin Luther, 1483–1546English Translation by Frederick H. Hedge, 1805–1890 God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble.

MORNING & EVENING
A backslider, if there be a spark of life left in him will groan after restoration. In this renewal the same exercise of grace is required as at our conversion. We needed repentance then; we certainly need it now. We wanted faith that we might come to Christ at first; only the like grace can…

FAITH
Without faith it is impossible to please Him. Hebrews 11:6. Faith in antagonism to common sense is fanaticism, and common sense in antagonism to faith is rationalism. The life of faith brings the two into a right relation. Common sense is not faith, and faith is not common sense; they stand in the relation of…

HOLD THE FORT
Words and Music by Philip P. Bliss, 1838–1876 Only hold on to what you have until I come.

WHERE CROSS THE CROWDED WAYS OF LIFE
Franklin Mason North, 1850–1935 Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked. (Psalm 82:3, 4) Henry David Thoreau, noted American writer, philosopher, and naturalist of the past 19th century, once described the large city…

MORNING & EVENING
This prayer begins where all true prayer must commence, with the spirit of adoption, “Our Father.” There is no acceptable prayer until we can say, “I will arise, and go unto my Father.” This child-like spirit soon perceives the grandeur of the Father “in heaven,” and ascends to devout adoration, “Hallowed be thy name.” The…

THE METHOD OF MISSIONS
My Utmost For His Highest Go ye therefore and teach (disciple) all nations. Matthew 28:19. Jesus Christ did not say—‘Go and save souls’ (the salvation of souls is the supernatural work of God), but—“Go and teach,” i.e., disciple, “all nations,” and you cannot make disciples unless you are a disciple yourself. When the disciples came…
