Daily Help
The lives of some of God’s people fill us with holy astonishment. Strange and marvelous are the ways which God used in their case to find his own. Blessed be his name, he never relinquishes the search until the chosen are sought out effectually. They are not a people soughtRead More …
Daily Strength for Daily Needs
Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.—Galatians 6:7. The life above, when this is past, Is the ripe fruit of life below. Sow love, and taste its fruitage pure; Sow peace, and reap its harvest bright; Sow sunbeams on the rock and moor, And find a harvest-homeRead More …
Thoughts for the Quiet Hour
Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. 1 Cor. 11:1. When in the Mexican war the troops were wavering, a general rose in his stirrups and dashed into the enemy’s line, shouting, “Men, follow!” They, seeing his courage and disposition, dashed on after him, andRead More …

Streams in the Desert
“Through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.” (Acts 14:22.) THE best things of life come out of wounding. Wheat is crushed before it becomes bread. Incense must be cast upon the fire before its odors are set free. The ground must be broken with the sharp ploughRead More …
Victory over Sin
Victory over Sin —that is, God’s righteousness through faith in Jesus Christ, to all who believe, since there is no distinction. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. They are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. God presentedRead More …
