All That Thrills My Soul Is Jesus
"And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord."—John 20:20 Who can cheer the heart like Jesus, By His presence all divine? True and tender, pure and precious, O how blest to call Him mine! Refrain: All that thrills my soul is Jesus; He is more than life to me; And the fairest of ten thousand In my blessed Lord I see. Love of Christ so freely given, Grace of ...

I Sin, Grant That I May Never Cease Grieving Because of It!
Lord Jesus, I sin. Grant that I may never cease grieving because of it, never be content with myself, never think I can reach a point of perfection. Kill my envy, command my tongue trample down self. Give me grace to be holy, kind, gentle, pure, peaceable, to live for Thee and not for self, to copy Thy words, acts, spirit, to be transformed into Thy likeness, to be consecrated wholly to Thee, to live entirely to Thy glory. Deliver me from attachment to things unclean, from wrong associations, from the predominance of ...

How Worthless and Wicked is the Profession of Many!
To profess the name of Christ so adamantly, so sincerely and dedicatedly yet while showing nothing for it, what a terrible offense that is to Whom the Name belongs! Is it not axiomatic that the Narrow Way is the Way of Holiness? And if we are not in that path we have no cause to think that we are saved? What a sad fact it is that many professors today would still insist in their ...

In Vain Do Men “Mortify” Their Sins
In Scripture we are repeatedly warned to esteem not the flesh so as to treasure it above our own souls. Count not sin to be as necessary as a right eye or as necessary as a right hand. Rather, cut off an eye or a hand if you must to enter heaven (Mark 9:43-49). But there is a way to mortify the flesh that does no good service for the soul. Self inflicted pains, binding of ...

“Though He Slay Me, Yet Will I Trust Him”
We live in a sad and dying world. Though as Christians we are promised joy and peace that surpasses understanding, many, many moments in our lives will we experience trials in great severities. Many times will we cry out, "Why God? Why me? Why this? Why now?" And in many moments we are overcome with grief and depression, our hope and joy is lost. But should it be so? Is not that which Scripture tells of ...

How Much Do We Really Treasure Scripture?
There is a great variety within the Christian world concerning the views people have concerning Scripture, one person may esteem it of great importance, another not so much. Why is it? I believe Dr. James R. White of Alpha and Omega Ministries puts it very simply yet clearly in a previous post: I subscribe to the Voice of the Martyrs newsletter, and the cover picture of this month's issue really touched my heart. I have ...

Hallelujah! What a Savior!
“He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows.”—Isaiah 53:3 Man of Sorrows! what a name For the Son of God, who came Ruined sinners to reclaim. Hallelujah! What a Savior! Bearing shame and scoffing rude, In my place condemned He stood; Sealed my pardon with His blood. Hallelujah! What a Savior! Guilty, vile, and helpless we; Spotless Lamb of God was He; “Full atonement!” can it be? Hallelujah! What a Savior! Lifted up was He to die; “It is finished!” was His cry; Now in Heav’n exalted ...

A Word for Those of You Who Do Not Pray
For many, many years I thought myself to be a Christian. I thought I possessed all the marks of authentic Christianity. I thought I had a heart fully disposed to affections of godliness and desire for God. However, is it not true that in the menial things we are most occupied with reveals the true secrets of our hearts? So then I brought the question forth before my own soul, Soul, why do you not pray?
