  • THE HIDDEN LIFE

    My Utmost For His Highest The Spirit of God witnesses to the simple, almighty security of the life hid with Christ in God, and this is continually brought out in the Epistles. We talk as if it were the most precarious thing to live the sanctified life; it is the most secure thing, because it…

  • Morning & Evening

    The Lord Jesus Christ was eternally rich, glorious, and exalted; but “though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor.” As the rich saint cannot be true in his communion with his poor brethren unless of his substance he ministers to their necessities, so (the same rule holding with the head as between…

  • HOW CAN I PERSONALLY PARTAKE IN THE ATONEMENT?

    My Utmost For His Highest But God forbid that I should glory save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Gal. 6:14. The Gospel of Jesus Christ always forces an issue of will. Do I accept God’s verdict on sin in the Cross of Christ? Have I the slightest interest in the death of…

  • Morning & Evening

    When first the life of grace begins in the soul, we do indeed draw near to God, but it is with great fear and trembling. The soul conscious of guilt, and humbled thereby, is overawed with the solemnity of its position; it is cast to the earth by a sense of the grandeur of Jehovah,…

  • THE DRAWING OF THE FATHER

    My Utmost For His Highest No man can come to Me, except the Father which hath sent Me draw him. John 6:44. When God draws me, the issue of my will comes in at once—will I react on the revelation which God gives; will I come to Him? Discussion on spiritual matters is an impertinence.…

  • Morning & Evening

    God has a strong reserve with which to discharge this engagement; for he is able to do all things. Believer, till thou canst drain dry the ocean of omnipotence, till thou canst break into pieces the towering mountains of almighty strength, thou never needest to fear. Think not that the strength of man shall ever…

  • THE RIGHT LINES OF WORK

    My Utmost For His Highest I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto Me. John 12:32. Very few of us have any understanding of the reason why Jesus Christ died. If sympathy is all that human beings need, then the Cross of Christ is a farce, there was no need for it.…

  • WHAT TO CONCENTRATE ON

    My Utmost For His Highest I came not to send peace, but a sword. Matthew 10:34 I came not to send peace, but a sword. Matthew 10:34. Never be sympathetic with the soul whose case makes you come to the conclusion that God is hard. God is more tender than we can conceive, and every…

  • Morning & Evening

    If the disposal of the lot is the Lord’s whose is the arrangement of our whole life? If the simple casting of a lot is guided by him, how much more the events of our entire life—especially when we are told by our blessed Saviour: “The very hairs of your head are all numbered: not…

  • Morning & Evening

    GARMENT-RENDING and other outward signs of religious emotion, are easily manifested and are frequently hypocritical; but to feel true repentance is far more difficult, and consequently far less common. Men will attend to the most multiplied and minute ceremonial regulations—for such things are pleasing to the flesh—but true religion is too humbling, too heart-searching, too…
