Sin has four characteristics: self-sufficiency instead of faith; self-will instead of submission; self-seeking instead of benevolence; self-righteousness instead of humility.

We apologize that yesterday’s message was noted as “Tuesday” (it was actually the “Monday” message.)
If people don’t know their pastor, it’s easy to put the pastor on a pedestal and depersonalize him or her. It’s also easy for pastors, who don’t know their congregations, simply to classify congregants as saved or unsaved, involved or not involved, tithers or non-tithers.
Eugene H. Peterson
Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you.
John 16:22
The New King James Version
Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion; it is like a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.
Billy Graham

During this month of Thanksgiving, we are so very thankful for the Lord’s blessing over this ministry. The fact that we can share a daily Christian message with so many, reaching all corners of the world, we never take that for granted.

Prayer is a form of communication between God and man and man and God… I am always impressed by the fact that it is recorded that the only thing that the disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to do was to pray.
Howard Thurman
The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

The introverted church is one which puts its own survival before its mission, its own identity above its task, its internal concerns before its apostolate, its rituals before its ministry. Undue emphasis on the static structure of the Church has led to the disappearance of a significant lay ministry in denominational Protestantism.
Gibson Winter
“I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against Me, and I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned and by which they have transgressed against Me.”
Jeremiah 33:8
The New King James Version
Martin Luther in his later years, was subject to periods of melancholy and depression. One day he seemed particularly gloomy, so his wife Catherine von Bora dressed herself up in mourning clothes of black crepe. When Luther demanded to know why she was in mourning, she said, “I thought God died.” Luther got the message.

No one ever told me that grief felt so much like fear.

True humility consists in not presuming on our own strength, but in trusting to obtain all things from the power of God.
Thomas Aquinas
For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Ephesians 3:14-19
The English Standard Version
There are souls in this world who have the gift of finding joy everywhere, and leaving it behind them when they go.

Prayer reveals to souls the vanity of earthly goods and pleasures. It fills them with light, strength and consolation, and gives them a foretaste of the calm bliss of our heavenly home.

The Lord gives his people strength. The Lord blesses them with peace.

Some recent testimonials we have been blessed by…
“This Day’s Thought is such an awesome ministry that is making such a difference in so many lives—including ours.”
“I am able to say it again and again-your daily messages are a blessing to me and I am sure many others across the world who have limited access to a Christian community. It is I who must thank you.”
“I have read your “page” of thoughts and smiles and scripture passages for 15 years…today’s scripture passage speaks like a thunder clap from Heaven to my spirit. A million thank-you’s.”
“You have no idea how your ministry through its daily devotional emails kept me going through some dark times. It’s wonderful that your ministry has a truly global reach and I feel sure your messages of hope keep thousands like me going in these challenging times.”
“Thank you for all that you do for Jesus.”

The Christianity which is shared is the Christianity which is convincing.
Lynn Harold Hough
Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
Galatians 3:6-7
The King James Version
Nobody ever added up
The value of a smile;
We know how much a dollar’s worth,
And how much is a mile;
We know the distance to the sun,
The size and weight of earth—
But no one’s ever told us yet
How much a smile is worth.

Live in faith and hope, though it be in darkness, for in this darkness God protects the soul. Cast your care upon God for you are His and He will not forget you. Do not think that He is leaving you alone, for that would be to wrong Him.
John of the Cross
The work of righteousness will be peace, And the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever.
Isaiah 32:17
The New King James Version
Blessed is the man who can enjoy the small things, the common beauties, the little day-by-day events; sunshine on the fields, birds on the bough, breakfast, dinner, supper, the daily paper on the porch, a friend passing by. So many people who go afield for enjoyment leave it behind them at home.
