  • THE MOST DELICATE MISSION ON EARTH

    My Utmost For His Highest The friend of the Bridegroom. John 3:29. Goodness and purity ought never to attract attention to themselves, they ought simply to be magnets to draw to Jesus Christ. If my holiness is not drawing towards Him, it is not holiness of the right order, but an influence that will awaken…

  • WHEN HE COMETH

    Amazing Grace William O. Cushing, 1823–1902 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. (Colossians 3:4) The scriptural promise of Christ’s second coming is always a thrilling truth for believers to ponder.

  • MORNING & EVENING

    “The kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” Let me be on my guard when the world puts on a loving face, for it will, if possible, betray me as it did my Master, with a kiss. Whenever a man is about to stab religion, he usually professes very great reverence for it. Let me beware…

  • DECREASING INTO HIS PURPOSE

    He must increase, but I must decrease. John 3:30. If you become a necessity to a soul, you are out of God’s order. As a worker, your great responsibility is to be a friend of the Bridegroom. When once you see a soul in sight of the claims of Jesus Christ, you know that your…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Did this fear arise from the infernal suggestion that he was utterly forsaken. There may be sterner trials than this, but surely it is one of the worst to be utterly forsaken? “See,” said Satan, “thou hast a friend nowhere! Thy Father hath shut up the bowels of his compassion against thee. Not an angel…

  • AM I CARNALLY MINDED?

    My Utmost For His Highest Whereas there is among you jealousy and strife, are ye not carnal? 1 Cor. 3:3. No natural man knows anything about carnality. The flesh lusting against the Spirit that came in at regeneration, and the Spirit lusting against the flesh, produces carnality. “Walk in the Spirit,” says Paul, “and ye…

  • THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSINGS

    Amazing Grace Daniel W. Whittle, 1840–1901 I will send down showers in season; there will be showers of blessing. (Ezekiel 34:26) How disheartening it is to see a once fertile field that has been rendered hardened and useless by a drought. Land that was intended to produce a rich harvest for its owner lies barren…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    The mental pressure arising from our Lord’s struggle with temptation, so forced his frame to an unnatural excitement, that his pores sent forth great drops of blood which fell down to the ground. This proves how tremendous must have been the weight of sin when it was able to crush the Saviour so that he…

  • THE BURNING HEART

    My Utmost For His Highest Did not our heart burn within us? Luke 24:32. We need to learn this secret of the burning heart. Suddenly Jesus appears to us, the fires are kindled, we have wonderful visions; then we have to learn to keep the secret of the burning heart that will go through anything.…
