  • MORNING & EVENING

    What a mass of hideous sickness must have thrust itself under the eye of Jesus! Yet we read not that he was disgusted, but patiently waited on every case. What a singular variety of evils must have met at his feet! What sickening ulcers and putrefying sores! Yet he was ready for every new shape…

  • LIBERTY ON THE ABYSS OF THE GOSPEL

    My Utmost For His Highest Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free. Gal. 5:1.

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Do you want a house for your soul? Do you ask, “What is the purchase?” It is something less than proud human nature will like to give. It is without money and without price. Ah! you would like to pay a respectable rent! You would love to do something to win Christ? Then you cannot…

  • JUDGMENT ON THE ABYSS OF LOVE

    My Utmost For His Highest For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God. 1 Peter 4:17.

Experience is only a…

Seiss, 1823–1904 For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him.

  • MORNING & EVENING

    What a sweet title: “My people!” What a cheering revelation: “Their God!” How much of meaning is couched in those two words, “My people!” Here is speciality. The whole world is God’s; the heaven, even the heaven of heavens is the Lord’s, and he reigneth among the children of men; but of those whom he…

  • VICARIOUS INTERCESSION

    (May 4, 2025) My Utmost For His Highest Vicarious intercession Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus. Hebrews 10:19.

  • JOYFUL, JOYFUL WE ADORE THEE

    (May 4, 2025) Amazing Grace Henry van Dyke, 1852–1933 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy … against such things there is no law. (Galatians 5:22) While gazing at the magnificent Berkshire mountains of Massachusetts, Henry van Dyke described in “Joyful, Joyful,” the many aspects of life that should bring us joy. He…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    (May 4, 2025) One great besetting sin of ancient Israel was idolatry, and the spiritual Israel are vexed with a tendency to the same folly. Remphan’s star shines no longer, and the women weep no more for Tammuz, but Mammon still intrudes his golden calf, and the shrines of pride are not forsaken. Self in…
