Truth is more powerful than eloquence. The victory is in the hands of children speaking truth, not in the hands of lying eloquence.

This Day's Smile

The Church Times recalls a story about the late Dr. Newport White when he was Regius Professor of Divinity at Dublin. On one great occasion somebody noticed him sitting unrobed in a pew and whispered, “Shouldn’t you be in the procession?” To which the worthy Doctor replied, “Just a little ostentatious humility.”

This Day's Thought

Celebration is possible only through the deep realization that life and death are never found completely separate. Celebration can really come about only where fear and love, joy and sorrow, tear and smiles can exist together.

Henri Nouwen

Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you be like him yourself.

Saints are persons who make it easier for others to believe in God.

Nathan Söderblom


This Day's Verse

“Even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.” Rend your heart and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.

Joel 2:12-13
The New International Version

This Day's Thought

God’s altar stands from Sunday to Sunday, and the seventh day is no more for religion than any other—it is for rest. The whole seven are for religion, and one of them for rest, for instruction, for social worship, for gaining strength for the other six.

Henry Ward Beecher

Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord.

2 Peter 1:2

This Day's Thought

We can enter into the truth only by love.

Blaise Pascal


This Day's Verse

Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.

Romans 13:11-14
The English Standard Version


This Day's Reprise

One Sunday I was entertained in a farm home of a member of a rural church. I was impressed by the intelligence and unusually good behavior of the only child in the home, a little four-year-old boy. Then I discovered one reason for the child’s charm. The mother was at the kitchen sink, washing the intricate parts of the cream separator when the little fellow came to her with a magazine. “Mother,” he asked, “what is this man in the picture doing?” To my surprise she dried her hands, sat down on a chair and taking the boy in her lap she spent ten minutes answering his questions. After the child had left I commented on her having interrupted her chores to answer the boy’s questions, saying, “Most mothers wouldn’t have bothered.” “I expect to be washing cream separators for the rest of my life,” she told me, “But never again will my son ask me that question!”

When David Livingstone was asked if he was afraid that going into Africa would be too difficult and too dangerous, he answered, “I am immortal until the will of God for me is accomplished.”

This Day's Thought

It helps to resign as the controller of your fate. All that energy we expend to keep things running right is not what keeps things running right.

Anne Lamott


This Day's Verse

Make the most of your chances to tell others the Good News. Be wise in all your contacts with them. Let your conversation be gracious as well as sensible, for then you will have the right answer for everyone.

The Living Bible


This Day's Smile

Bishop Festo Kivengere told the story of how he was going off to preach after a row with his wife. The Holy Spirit said to him, “Go back and pray with your wife!” He argued, “I’m due to preach in twenty minutes. I’ll do it afterwards.” “OK,” said the Holy Spirit. “You go and preach; I’ll stay with your wife.”

Sin is like some distempers of the eyes that make things to appear of different colours from those which properly belong to them.

There’s not much practical Christianity in the man who lives on better terms with angels and seraphs than with his children, servants and neighbours.
