  • HOW CAN I HELP BUT LOVE HIM?

    Amazing Grace Words and Music by Elton M. Roth, 1891–1951 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And He died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again. (2…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    And who comforteth like him? Go to some poor, melancholy, distressed child of God; tell him sweet promises, and whisper in his ear choice words of comfort; he is like the deaf adder, he listens not to the voice of the charmer, charm he never so wisely. He is drinking gall and wormwood, and comfort…

  • THE INITIATIVE AGAINST DRUDGERY

    My Utmost For His Highest Arise, shine. Isaiah 60:1. We have to take the first step as though there were no God. It is no use to wait for God to help us, He will not; but immediately we arise we find He is there. Whenever God inspires, the initiative is a moral one. We…

  • WHY SHOULD HE LOVE ME SO?

    Amazing Grace Words and Music by Robert Harkness, 1880–1961 For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

    My Utmost For His Highest Rise let us be going. Matthew 26:46. The disciples went to sleep when they should have kept awake, and when they realized what they had done it produced despair. The sense of the irreparable is apt to make us despair, and we say—‘It is all up now, it is no…

  • HE LIFTED ME

    Amazing Grace Words and Music by Charles H. Gabriel, 1856–1932 He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. (Psalm…

  • MORNING & EVENING

    Perhaps, O tried soul, the Lord is doing this to develop thy graces. There are some of thy graces which would never be discovered if it were not for thy trials. Dost thou not know that thy faith never looks so grand in summer weather as it does in winter? Love is too often like…

  • THE INITIATIVE AGAINST DEPRESSION

    My Utmost For His Highest Arise and eat. 1 Kings 19:5. The angel did not give Elijah a vision, or explain the Scriptures to him, or do anything remarkable; he told Elijah to do the most ordinary thing, viz., to get up and eat. If we were never depressed we should not be alive; it…

  • JESUS LOVES EVEN ME

    Amazing Grace JESUS LOVES EVEN ME Words and Music by Philip P. Bliss, 1838–1876 As the Father has loved Me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. (John 15:9) The wonder of Jesus’ deep love for each of us has been expressed in this text in beautiful but childlike language by the…
