    My Utmost For His Highest Ye know not what ye ask. Matthew 20:22. There are times in spiritual life when there is confusion, and it is no way out to say that there ought not to be confusion. It is not a question of right and wrong, but a question of God taking you by…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Your Lord is very jealous of your love, O believer. Did he choose you? He cannot bear that you should choose another. Did he buy you with his own blood? He cannot endure that you should think that you are your own, or that you belong to this world. He loved you with such a…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Here was sovereignty. Impatient spirits may fret and fume, because they are not called to the highest places in the ministry; but reader be it thine to rejoice that Jesus calleth whom he wills. If he shall leave me to be a doorkeeper in his house, I will cheerfully bless him for his grace in…

  • DO IT YOURSELF

    My Utmost For His Highest Determinedly Discipline other Things. Bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. 2 Cor. 10:5.

How much Christian work there is to-day which has never been…
