    My Utmost For His Highst Agree with thine adversary quickly. Matthew 5:25. Jesus Christ is laying down this principle—Do what you know you must do, now, and do it quickly; if you do not, the inevitable process will begin to work and you will have to pay to the last farthing in pain and agony…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Behold the superlative liberality of the Lord Jesus, for he hath given us his all. Although a tithe of his possessions would have made a universe of angels rich beyond all thought, yet was he not content until he had given us all that he had. It would have been surprising grace if he had…

  • DIRECTION OF DISCIPLINE

    My Utmost For His Highest And if thy right hand offend thee cut it off and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. Matthew 5:30. Jesus did not say that everyone must cut off…
