    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…

    My Utmost For His Highest That the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 2 Cor. 4:10. We have to form habits to express what God’s grace has done in us. It is not a question of being saved from hell, but of being saved in order to manifest the…

  • THE HABIT OF A GOOD CONSCIENCE

    My Utmost For His Highest A conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men. Acts 24:16. God’s commands are given to the life of His Son in us, consequently to the human nature in which His Son has been formed, His commands are difficult, but immediately we obey they become divinely easy.
