Humility In The Disciple Of Jesus By Andrew Murray

"Let him that is chief among you be as he that doth serve" (Luke 22:26). Let us look for humility in the circle of the chosen companions of Jesus--the twelve apostles. In their lack of humility we find the contrast between Christ and men. This will help us to appreciate the mighty change which Pente... Read More

Idle Words By S. L. Flowers

We have often wondered, if a book were written containing all our words, would we be willing to meet it at the judgment, be willing to have it opened up before the assembled millions when the world is on fire and the elements melting with fervent heat? Unkind words, foolish words, malicious words, c... Read More

If Repentance Is Lacking By Donald Gee

What I believe to be the deepest need of every revival is repentance. If there is not repentance in a revival, it does not go deep enough. It is shallow. "Then began He [Jesus] to upbraid the cities where most of His mighty works were done, because they repented not" (Matt. 11:20). There must be rep... Read More

If You Will Meet Conditions - Yours Can Be A Changed Life By Wesley L. Duewel

In The Hour Of Trial By James Montgomery

“In the hour of trial, Jesus plead with me, lest by base denial I depart from Thee.

In The Light Of Christ’s Return By James F. Hardman

In the light of our Lord's return, we must be vigilant in prayer, full of faith and good works and eager in our mission of evangelism. "Teaching about the Second Coming," avers a modern writer, "adds urgency to evangelism." Even in the early days of the Christian Church the teaching of the Lord's re... Read More

On the likeness of Christ’s death th... Read More

In The World, But Not Of The World By John D. Woodbridge

What is the relation of the Christian to the world we live in? Are we Christians sheltered from the sins and enticements of today’s culture? No, not at all. As Christians, we are called by the Lord to live in the world but not be of it (1 John 2:15-16). Moreover, even if we profess that the Bible is... Read More

In Unity Is Strength By G. S. Ingram

The strength unity gives is something inconceivable. The power of each individual member is increased to a large degree by the inspiration of fellowship with a large and conquering host.
