  • HOLINESS V HARDNESS TOWARD GOD

    My Utmost For His Highest And He … wondered that there was no intercessor. Isaiah 59:16. The reason many of us leave off praying and become hard towards God is because we have only a sentimental interest in prayer. It sounds right to say that we pray; we read books on prayer which tell us…

  • NOW THE DAY IS OVER

    Amazing Grace Sabine Baring-Gould, 1834–1924 I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. (Psalm 4:8) Upon God’s care I lay me down, as a child upon its mother’s breast;No silken couch, nor softest bed could ever give me such deep rest.— Unknown Trusting God throughout…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Why did Jesus suffer himself to be enrolled amongst sinners? This wonderful condescension was justified by many powerful reasons. In such a character he could the better become their advocate. In some trials there is an identification of the counsellor with the client, nor can they be looked upon in the eye of the law…

  • OUR LORD’S SURPRISE VISITS

    My Utmost For His Highest Be ye therefore ready also. Luke 12:40. The great need for the Christian worker is to be ready to face Jesus Christ at any and every turn.

  • WHEN WE ALL GET TO HEAVEN

    Amazing Grace Eliza E. Hewitt, 1851–1920 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage each other with these words. (1 Thessalonians 4:17, 18) For the child…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    We are told that the Captain of our salvation was made perfect through suffering, therefore we who are sinful, and who are far from being perfect, must not wonder if we are called to pass through suffering too. Shall the head be crowned with thorns, and shall the other members of the body be rocked…

  • ISN’T THERE SOME MISUNDERSTANDING?

    Let us go into Judea. His disciples say unto Him … Goest Thou thither again? John 11:7–8 . I may not understand what Jesus Christ says, but it is dangerous to say that therefore He was mistaken in what He said. It is never right to think that my obedience to a word of God…

  • WHEN THE ROLL IS CALLED UP YONDER

    Amazing Grace Words and Music by James M. Black, 1856–1938 For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. (1 Thessalonians 4:16) The calm assurance of a future heavenly home…

  • MORNING & eVENING

    The love of Christ in its sweetness, its fulness, its greatness, its faithfulness, passeth all human comprehension. Where shall language be found which shall describe his matchless, his unparalleled love towards the children of men? It is so vast and boundless that, as the swallow but skimmeth the water, and diveth not into its depths,…

  • VISION BY PERSONAL CHARACTER

    My Utmost For His Highest Come up hither, and I will shew thee things. Rev. 4:1. An elevated mood can only come out of an elevated habit of personal character. If in the externals of your life you live up to the highest you know, God will continually say—‘Friend, go up higher.’ The golden rule…
