  • THE DETERMINATION TO SERVE

    My Utmost For His Highest The son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister. Matthew 20:28. Paul’s idea of service is the same as our Lord’s: “I am among you as He that serveth”; “ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.” We have the idea that a man called to the Ministry…

  • LET US BREAK BREAD TOGETHER

    Amazing Grace Traditional Spiritual They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer … All the believers were together and had everything in common. (Acts 2:42, 44) The local church has been described as a laboratory where believers learn to love one another regardless of…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    No promise is of private interpretation. Whatever God has said to any one saint, he has said to all. When he opens a well for one, it is that all may drink. When he openeth a granary-door to give out food, there may be some one starving man who is the occasion of its being…

  • THE DISCIPLINE OF SPIRITUAL TENACITY

    My Utmost For His Highest Be still, and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10. Tenacity is more than endurance, it is endurance combined with the absolute certainty that what we are looking for is going to transpire. Tenacity is more than hanging on, which may be but the weakness of being too afraid to…

  • THEY’LL KNOW WE ARE CHRISTIANS BY OUR LOVE

    Amazing Grace Words and Music by Peter Scholtes, 1938–2009 A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. All men will know that you are My disciples if you love one another. (John 13:34, 35) It’s easy to talk sentimentally about love. It’s much…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    That strength which God gives to his Josephs is real strength; it is not a boasted valour, a fiction, a thing of which men talk, but which ends in smoke; it is true—divine strength. Why does Joseph stand against temptation? Because God gives him aid. There is nought that we can do without the power…

  • HAVE YOU EVER BEEN CARRIED AWAY FROM HIM?

    My Utmost For His Highest She hath wrought a good work on Me. Mark 14:6. If human love does not carry a man beyond himself, it is not love. If love is always discreet, always wise, always sensible and calculating, never carried beyond itself, it is not love at all. It may be affection, it…

  • WHEN LOVE SHINES IN

    Amazing Grace Carrie E. Breck, 1855–1934 Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. (Matthew 5:16) Our emotional soundness and even our physical health depend on the quality of our love for God. And as a result, we gain an attitude of love and…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    If we can only grasp these words by faith, we have an all-conquering weapon in our hand. What doubt will not be slain by this two-edged sword? What fear is there which shall not fall smitten with a deadly wound before this arrow from the bow of God’s covenant? Will not the distresses of life…

  • THE INITIATIVE AGAINST DREAMING

    My Utmost For His Highest Arise, let us go hence. John 14:31. Dreaming about a thing in order to do it properly is right; but dreaming about it when we should be doing it is wrong. After Our Lord had said those wonderful things to His disciples, we might have expected that He would tell…
