This Day’s Thought-Thursday

When I first became a Christian, about fourteen years ago, I thought that I could do it on my own, by retiring to my rooms and reading theology, and I wouldn’t go to the churches and gospel halls…I disliked very much their hymns, which I considered to be fifth-rate poems set to sixth-rate music. But as I went on I saw the great merit of it. I came up against different people of quite different outlooks and different education, and then gradually my conceit just began peeling off. I realized that the hymns (which were just sixth-rate music) were, nevertheless, being sung with devotion and benefit by an old saint in elastic-side boots in the opposite pew, and then you realize that you aren’t fit to clean those boots.

C. S. Lewis

O Lord my God, in You I put my trust; Save me from all those who persecute me; And deliver me,

Jesus did not say, “Come to me and get it over with.” He said, “If any man would come after me, let him take up his cross daily and follow me.” Daily is the key word. Our commitment to Christ, however genuine and wholehearted it may be today, must be renewed tomorrow…and the day after that…and the day after that…until the path comes at last to the river.

Louis Cassels

Jesus said to her, “Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”

John 4:13-14
The English Standard Version

The Christian church is a society of sinners. It is the only society in the world in which membership is based upon the single qualification that the candidate shall be unworthy of membership.

Some of us can only hear God in the thunder of revivals or in public worship; we have to learn to listen to God’s voice in the ordinary circumstances of life.

Oswald Chambers

“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,” says the Lord Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.”

Every wise workman takes his tools away from the work from time to time that they may be ground and sharpened; so does the only-wise Jehovah take his ministers oftentimes away into darkness and loneliness and trouble, that he may sharpen and prepare them for harder work in his service.

Robert Murray M’Cheyne

O Lord, God of my salvation, I cry out day and night before you. Let my prayer come before you; incline your ear to my cry!

This Day’s Thought-Wednesday

One of American Christianity’s most serious evils may be the sin of sermon listening. We hear, but we do not act. God is not basically interested in our listening to sermons. He wants us to be living sermons. The church is intended to be a vibrant, redeeming community of compassion, service, love, and worship. It is not a fraternity of fans of the faith.

There are one hundred and fifty-two distinctly different ways of holding a baby, and they are all right.

This Day’s Thought-Tuesday

The other evening I found myself staggering alone under a load that was heavy enough to crush half a dozen strong men. Out of sheer exhaustion I put it down and had a good look at it. I found that it was all borrowed: part of it belonged to the following day; part of it belonged to the following week—and here was I borrowing it that it might crush me now! It is a very stupid, but a very ancient blunder.

F. W. Boreham

Fools vent their anger, but the wise quietly hold it back.

The noblest souls are the most tempted. The devil is a sportsman and likes big game. He makes the deadliest assaults on the richest natures, the finest minds, the noblest spirits.

John L. Lawrence

And He commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that it is He who was ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead.
