MacLaren was born in Glasgow on February 11, 1826, and died in Manchester on May 5, 1910. He had been for almost sixty-five years a minister, entirely devoted to his calling. In 1842 he was enrolled as a candidate for the Baptist ministry at Stepney College, London. In the College he was thoroughly grounded in Greek and Hebrew. He was taught to study the Bible in the original languages and so the foundation was laid for his distinctive work as an expositor and for the biblical content of his preaching.
Before MacLaren had finished his course of study he was invited to Portland Chapel in Southampton for three months; those three months became twelve years. He began his ministry there on June 28, 1846. His ministry fell into a quiet routine for which he was always grateful: two sermons on Sunday, a Monday prayer meeting and a Thursday service and lecture. In April 1858 he was called to be minister at Union Chapel in Manchester. The church prospered and a new building had to be erected to seat 1,500; every seat was taken. His renown as preacher spread throughout the English-speaking world. He was twice elected President of the Baptist Union. He resigned as pastor in 1905 after a ministry of forty-five years. MacLaren's religious life was hid with Christ in God. He loved Jesus Christ with a reverent, holy love and lived to make Him known.

Blue Letter Bible offers several daily devotional readings in order to help you refocus on Christ and the Gospel of His peace and righteousness.
Recognizing the value of consistent reflection upon the Word of God in order to refocus one's mind and heart upon Christ and His Gospel of peace, we provide several reading plans designed to cover the entire Bible in a year.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
