  • MORNING & EVENING

    Christ has grace without measure in himself, but he hath not retained it for himself. As the reservoir empties itself into the pipes, so hath Christ emptied out his grace for his people. “Of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.” He seems only to have in order to dispense to us.…

  • OBEDIENCE

    His servants ye are to whom ye obey. Romans 6:16. The first thing to do in examining the power that dominates me is to take hold of the unwelcome fact that I am responsible for being thus dominated because I have yielded. If I am a slave to myself, I am to blame for it…

  • STANDING ON THE PROMISES

    Amazing Grace Words and Music by R. Kelso Carter, 1849–1928 For all the promises of God in Him are yea, and in Him Amen, unto the glory of God by us. (2 Corinthians 1:20 KJV) All of us have times in life when a crisis or problem seems larger than we can possibly bear, and…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    It is a curious fact, that there is such a thing as being proud of grace. A man says, “I have great faith, I shall not fall; poor little faith may, but I never shall.” “I have fervent love,” says another, “I can stand, there is no danger of my going astray.” He who boasts…

  • THE ABANDONMENT OF GOD

    My Utmost For His Highest God so loved the world that He gave … John 3:16. Salvation is not merely deliverance from sin, nor the experience of personal holiness; the salvation of God is deliverance out of self entirely into union with Himself. My experimental knowledge of salvation will be along the line of deliverance…

  • YIELD NOT TO TEMPTATION

    Amazing Grace Words and Music by Horatio R. Palmer, 1834–1907 Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. (Matthew 26:41) Temptations are common to everyone, even mature Christians. The noblest souls are often the ones most tempted. It seems that Satan assaults Christians in positions of leadership with his strongest weapons. Therefore,…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Dear reader, this little book was mainly intended for the edification of believers, but if you are yet unsaved, our heart yearns over you: and we would fain say a word which may be blessed to you. Open your Bible, and read the story of the lepers, and mark their position, which was much the…

  • ABANDONMENT

    Then Peter began to say unto Him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed Thee.… Mark 10:28. Our Lord replies, in effect, that abandonment is for Himself, and not for what the disciples themselves will get from it. Beware of an abandonment which has the commercial spirit in it—‘I am going to give myself…

  • I WOULD BE TRUE

    Amazing Grace Howard A. Walter, 1883–1918 I have chosen the way of truth; I have set my heart on Your laws. (Psalm 119:30) The yearning to achieve a trustworthy, strong, brave yet humble character is an unusual goal for a young person, especially in today’s self-seeking and materialistic society. The text for “I Would Be…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    “Love thy neighbour.” Perhaps he rolls in riches, and thou art poor, and living in thy little cot side-by-side with his lordly mansion; thou seest every day his estates, his fine linen, and his sumptuous banquets; God has given him these gifts, covet not his wealth, and think no hard thoughts concerning him. Be content…
