  • MORNING & EVENING

    “Be ye angry, and sin not.” There can hardly be goodness in a man if he be not angry at sin; he who loves truth must hate every false way. How our Lord Jesus hated it when the temptation came! Thrice it assailed him in different forms, but ever he met it with, “Get thee…

  • UNQUESTIONED REVELATION

    My Utmost For His Highest And in that day ye shall ask Me nothing. John 16:23. When is “that day”? When the Ascended Lord makes you one with the Father. In that day you will be one with the Father as Jesus is, and “in that day,” Jesus says, “ye shall ask Me nothing.” Until…

  • O PERFECT LOVE

    Amazing Grace Dorothy B. Gurney, 1858–1932 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Here is a precious truth for thee, believer.

    My Utmost For His Highest Tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. Luke 24:49.

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Mephibosheth was no great ornament to a royal table, yet he had a continual place at David’s board, because the king could see in his face the features of the beloved Jonathan. Like Mephibosheth, we may cry unto the King of Glory, “What is thy servant, that thou shouldst look upon such a dead dog…

  • THINK AS JESUS TAUGHT

    My Utmost For His Highest Pray without ceasing. 1 Thess. 5:17. We think rightly or wrongly about prayer according to the conception we have in our minds of prayer. If we think of prayer as the breath in our lungs and the blood from our hearts, we think rightly. The blood flows ceaselessly, and breathing…

  • COME, THOU ALMIGHTY KING

    Amazing Grace Source unknown, c. 1757 Lift up your heads, O you gates; lift them up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. Who is He, this King of glory? The Lord Almighty—He is the King of glory. (Psalm 24:9, 10) In his book The Knowledge of the Holy, A. W.…
