  • THE BOUNTY OF THE DESTITUTE

    My Utmost For His Highest Being justified freely by His grace … Romans 3:24.

  • Morning & Evening

    The truth was in Gaius, and Gaius walked in the truth. If the first had not been the case, the second could never have occurred; and if the second could not be said of him the first would have been a mere pretence. Truth must enter into the soul, penetrate and saturate it, or else…

  • THE CONSECRATION OF SPIRITUAL ENERGY

    My Utmost For His Highest by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. Gal. 6:14.

    My Utmost For His Highest … save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Gal. 6:14. If you want to know the energy of God (i.e., the resurrection life of Jesus) in your mortal flesh, you must brood on the tragedy of God. Cut yourself off from prying personal interest in your own spiritual…

    But God forbid that I should glory, … Gal. 6:14. When a man is first born again, he becomes incoherent, there is an amount of unrelated emotion about him, unrelated phases of external things.
