“The Greatest Thing In The World” by Henry Drummond October 10, 2017

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 unlocks 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, 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.

M’Cheyne’s Bible Reading Plan Each year I adopt some plan for my daily devotional reading of Scripture. To be honest, I try to vary this a little each year to keep it fresh. Over the last year, I have been using a plan that Robert Murray M’Cheyne developed for the people that he pastored. It is helpful for several reasons: It leads you through the Old Testament once and the New Testament and Psalms twice during the year. It gives a variety of Scripture passages to read each day - historical, prophetical, and devotional. It divides the readings into readings for the morning and for the evening. It promotes a reading for private devotions and one for family devotions. It encourages the church family to read through the Bible together. M’Cheyne’s heart was to strengthen families and the church family, while deepening the personal devotion of each Christian. I can tell you from personal experience, that it has been a delight to follow. (Read M'Cheyne's full introduction to his system HERE).  We have decided to make M’Cheyne’s plan available through Enjoying the Journey this year, with the prayer that God will use it to lead all of us to a life full of the Word in the days ahead.

    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!
