  • BLESSED QUIETNESS

    Amazing Grace Manie P. Ferguson, 19th century Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only that which is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Changeful experience often leads the anxious believer to enquire “Why is it thus with me?” I looked for light, but lo, darkness came; for peace, but behold trouble. I said in my heart, my mountain standeth firm, I shall never be moved. Lord, thou dost hide thy face, and I am troubled. It was but…

  • DIVINE REASONINGS OF FAITH

    My Utmost For His Highest But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33. Immediately we look at these words of Jesus, we find them the most revolutionary statement human ears ever listened to. “Seek ye first the kingdom of God.” We…

  • BREATHE ON ME BREATH OF GOD

    Amazing Grace Edwin Hatch, 1835–1889 As the Father has sent Me, I am sending you. And with that He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” (John 20:21, 22) The good news of the gospel relates not only to what Christ once did—His death, resurrection, ascension—but to what He presently offers: Forgiveness of…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    If:—then, this is not a matter to be taken for granted concerning every one of the human race. “If:”—then there is a possibility and a probability that some may not have tasted that the Lord is gracious. “If:”—then this is not a general but a special mercy; and it is needful to enquire whether we…

  • THE REALM OF THE REAL

    My Utmost For His Highest In your patience possess ye your souls. Luke 21:19. When a man is born again, there is not the same robustness in his thinking or reasoning for a time as formerly. We have to make an expression of the new life, to form the mind of Christ. “Acquire your soul…

  • HOLY GHOST, WITH LIGHT DIVINE

    Amazing Grace Andrew Reed, 1787–1862 That the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit. (Romans 8:4) As the earth can produce nothing unless it is fertilized by the sun, so we can do nothing worthwhile for God…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    When we give our hearts with our alms, we give well, but we must often plead to a failure in this respect. Not so our Master and our Lord. His favours are always performed with the love of his heart. He does not send to us the cold meat and the broken pieces from the…

  • OUT OF THE WRECK I RISE

    My Utmost For His Highest Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Romans 8:35. God does not keep a man immune from trouble; He says—“I will be with him in trouble.” It does not matter what actual troubles in the most extreme form get hold of a man’s life, not one of them…

  • GRACIOUS SPIRIT, DWELL WITH ME

    Amazing Grace Thomas T. Lynch, 1818–1871 I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you … and I will put My Spirit in you and move you to follow My decrees. (Ezekiel 36:26, 27) An awareness and knowledge of the Holy Spirit’s ministries is most important for every believer. Note…
