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.

Putting Off and Putting On

We are releasing four volumes of devotional studies through the Psalms. I am grateful for the overwhelming reception to Roadmap for Life, Volume 1, which examined the Genesis Psalms (Psalms 1-41). Volume 2, the Exodus Psalms, is now available, and we trust it will be an aid to your study of Psalms 42- 72. Because of the devotional nature of these books, I am dedicating each to someone the Lord has used in my life to teach me more about private worship and personal devotion. This new volume is: Dedicated to Eustace Riggs

Zacharias and Elisabeth. Share it online, save it for later, or use it as a tool to teach these truths to others. © Enjoying the Journey 2026. Zacharias, as a priest, knew the Old Testament Scriptures well. He would have known Isaiah 40 and Malachi 4, which prophesied of his son’s ministry. He used the Word of God to instill eternal purpose in his boy. Early in the chapter, Zacharias questioned the angel with unbelief. But by the time John was born, Zacharias stood up and spoke in bold faith and praised God (Luke 1:68). Zacharias and Elisabeth likely died before John’s public ministry commenced, yet their influence lived on. John lived in the desert without them, but their instruction rang in his ears.

    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!
