  • WILL YOU GO WITHOUT KNOWING?

    My Utmost For His Highest He went out, not knowing whither he went. Hebrews 11:8. Have you been ‘out’ in this way? If so, there is no logical statement possible when anyone asks you what you are doing. One of the difficulties in Christian work is this question—‘What do you expect to do?’ You do…

  • O JESUS I HAVE PROMISED

    Amazing Grace John E. Bode, 1816–1874 God is not unjust; He will not forget your work and the love you have shown Him as you have helped His people and continue to help them … show this same diligence to the very end, in order to make your hope sure. (Hebrews 6:10, 11) I asked…

  • Morning & Evening

    It is interesting to remark how large a portion of Sacred Writ is occupied with the subject of prayer, either in furnishing examples, enforcing precepts, or pronouncing promises. We scarcely open the Bible before we read, “Then began men to call upon the name of the Lord;” and just as we are about to close…

  • THE LORD IS KING!

    Amazing Grace Freely adapted from Josiah Condor, 1789–1855 For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods. (Psalm 95:3) As we reflect on the joys, failures, and blessings of the past year, we can rejoice in the truth that we are personally related to the Lord Jehovah, who is king of…

  • CHRIST RETURNETH!

    Amazing Grace H. L. Turner, 19th century I will come again, and receive you unto Myself. (John 14:3 KJV) The promise of Christ’s return has been a source of much comfort to God’s people through the centuries. However, it has also caused disagreement and even some divisions within the church. Not all Bible students and…

  • 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…

  • LO! HE COMES WITH CLOUDS DESCENDING

    Amazing Grace Charles Wesley, 1707–1788 Look, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him, and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of Him. So shall it be! Amen. (Revelation 1:7) When Jesus made His first entrance to earth, He was seen by only…

  • Morning & Evening

    The rush is spongy and hollow, and even so is a hypocrite; there is no substance or stability in him. It is shaken to and fro in every wind just as formalists yield to every influence; for this reason the rush is not broken by the tempest, neither are hypocrites troubled with persecution. I would…

  • 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…
