  • HOW CAN I PERSONALLY PARTAKE IN THE ATONEMENT?

    My Utmost For His Highest But God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Gal. 6:14. The Gospel of Jesus Christ always forces an issue of will. Do I accept God’s verdict on sin in the Cross of Christ? Have I the slightest interest in the death of…

  • Morning & Evening

    When first the life of grace begins in the soul, we do indeed draw near to God, but it is with great fear and trembling. The soul conscious of guilt, and humbled thereby, is overawed with the solemnity of its position; it is cast to the earth by a sense of the grandeur of Jehovah,…

  • THE DRAWING OF THE FATHER

    My Utmost For His Highest No man can come to Me, except the Father which hath sent Me draw him. John 6:44. When God draws me, the issue of my will comes in at once—will I react on the revelation which God gives; will I come to Him? Discussion on spiritual matters is an impertinence.…

  • Morning & Evening

    God has a strong reserve with which to discharge this engagement; for he is able to do all things. Believer, till thou canst drain dry the ocean of omnipotence, till thou canst break into pieces the towering mountains of almighty strength, thou never needest to fear. Think not that the strength of man shall ever…

  • EXPERIENCE OR REVELATION

    My Utmost For His Highest We have received … the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 1 Cor. 2:12. Reality is Redemption, not my experience of Redemption; but Redemption has no meaning for me until it speaks the language of my conscious…

  • Morning & Evening

    This covenant is divine in its origin. “HE hath made with me an everlasting covenant.” Oh that great word HE! Stop, my soul. God, the everlasting Father, has positively made a covenant with thee; yes, that God who spake the world into existence by a word; he, stooping from his majesty, takes hold of thy…

  • THE RIGHT LINES OF WORK

    My Utmost For His Highest I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto Me. John 12:32. Very few of us have any understanding of the reason why Jesus Christ died. If sympathy is all that human beings need, then the Cross of Christ is a farce, there was no need for it.…

  • WHILE SHEPHERDS WATCHED THEIR FLOCKS

    Amazing Grace Nahum Tate, 1652–1715 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is Christ the Lord. (Luke 2:11) In the spring of the year, the lambing season, shepherds in ancient times would sit all night beside their flocks, watching for wolves or other dangers and even feeding orphan…

  • Morning & Evening

    Sometimes the Lord Jesus tells his Church his love thoughts. “He does not think it enough behind her back to tell it, but in her very presence he says, ‘Thou art all fair, my love.’ It is true, this is not his ordinary method; he is a wise lover, and knows when to keep back…

  • WHAT TO CONCENTRATE ON

    My Utmost For His Highest I came not to send peace, but a sword. Matthew 10:34 I came not to send peace, but a sword. Matthew 10:34. Never be sympathetic with the soul whose case makes you come to the conclusion that God is hard. God is more tender than we can conceive, and every…
