The Greatest Thing In The World

What is the greatest thing in all the world?

Henry Drummond was a Scottish evangelist who was mightily used of the Lord. D.L. Moody called him the most Christ-like young man he ever knew. Though I cannot endorse everything that Drummond wrote, I wholeheartedly recommend to you his commentary on 1 Corinthians 13.

Many Bible students believe that Henry Drummond’s The Greatest Thing In All the World is the finest thing ever written – the defining work – on the love of God.

Personally, God has used it in my own life. It is more than comforting; it is convicting. We desperately need a revival of the love of God in hearts, homes, and churches. It is the only thing that can cut through the hatred in our world.

Moody himself once said,

“The only way any church can get a blessing is to lay aside all difference, all criticism, all coldness and party feeling, and come to the Lord as one man; and when the church lives in the power of the 13th chapter of 1 Corinthians, I am sure that many will be added daily to the flock of God. I would like to have the church read that chapter together on their knees…and as you do so, pray God to apply it with power…My heart goes out to you, and I long to see you all coming constantly to God for a fresh supply of love.“

This is one of the keys that unlock the door to revival. A fresh glimpse of the love of God.

I am happy to announce that we have adapted Drummond’s brief book and made it available as a free download this month.

The Greatest Thing In All the World is something you will want to read slowly, repeatedly, meditatively, and prayerfully. More than that, it will drive you to read 1 Corinthians 13 again. This portion of Scripture is a beautiful passage, but it is also a sword that cuts deeply. Prepare to have your heart searched.

There are many who base their entire view of themselves, their purpose, and their worth on the perception of others. In our day, many people allow social media algorithms to define them rather than our eternal God. Algorithms or Almighty God? This is a Battle for Definition.

When Onesimus was thrown in jail, Paul shared with him the glorious message of forgiveness and mercy in Jesus Christ. Onesimus becoame a believer as well. Imagine his shock when he found out the man who had just led him to the Lord Jesus Christ also showed his master (Philemon) how to be saved. Further, they are dear friends! Onesimus was sent back to Philemon, back home with a letter of pardon. That letter stated that his life was changed forever.

The purpose of Bible memory and how to practice it. God wrote a memory Book! This is what the Word of God was given for: to help us remember what God wants us to remember and what we are so prone to forget. Scripture memory is frequently emphasized to children and young people, but sorely neglected as we get older. Yet this is the time when God's Word most needs to be reinforced and rehearsed! Hebrews 2:1 says, "Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip."

    I look forward to reading this soon! Thanks, brother Pauley.

    Psalm 56:3-4
    What time I am afraid, i will trust in thee.
    In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

    I Corinthians 13 — truly an amazing chapter!

    For years I had read that chapter every day. Not long ago I was reminded by Him to begin that practice anew.

    Enjoyed your words, along with the words of Henry Drummond.

    Thank you for this session on God’s love for us which is truly amazing to know and see how much He cares and loves us. Indeed, we have to demonstrate that same love to others. Thank you for all that you do!
