We are sent to preach not sociology but salvation; not economics but evangelism; not reform but redemption; not culture but conversion; not progress but pardon; not the social order but the new birth; not a new organization but a new creation; not democracy but the Gospel; not civilization but Christ.  We are ambassadors, not diplomats.

Hugh Thomson Kerr

“The Lord repay your work, and a full reward be given you by the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings you have come for refuge.”

Human beings cannot probe the mind of God by asking themselves what they would do if they were God.  They are men and not God.  And if they are virtuous men, they will wait for God to reveal himself under conditions of his own choosing.

Edward John Carnell

“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”

Mark 1:17
The New International Version

A man said to his body, “Today I will go with you three times to eat, but you will come with me three times to pray.”

We are in danger of forgetting that we cannot do what God can do, and that God will not do what we can do.

Oswald Chambers

And the Lord said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.

1 Kings 9:3
The King James Version

We see God all around us: the mountains are God’s thoughts upheaved, the rivers are God’s thoughts in motion, the oceans are God’s thoughts imbedded, the dewdrops are God’s thoughts in pearls.

Fragrance is like light.  It cannot be hidden.  It is like love: intangible, invisible, but always at once recognized.  Though it is neither to be touched, nor heard, nor seen, we know that it is there.  And its opposite is just as impossible to hide.  This brings us to a solemn truth: it is what we are that tells.

Amy Carmichael

Some of us believe that God is Almighty and may do all, and that he is All-wisdom and can do all; but that he is All-love and will do all—there we stop short.

Julian of Norwich

Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

James 4:7
The English Standard Version

Preaching is not the art of making a sermon and delivering it.  Preaching is the art of making a preacher and delivering that.

Religion is man’s quest for God; the Gospel is the Savior God seeking lost men.  Religion originates on earth; the Gospel originated in heaven.  Religion is man-made; the Gospel is the gift of God.  Religion is the story of what a sinful man tries to do for a holy God; the Gospel is the story of what a holy God has done for sinful men.  Religion is good views; the Gospel is good news.

Roy Gustafson

Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

If a man has a soul—and he has—and if that soul can be won or lost for eternity—and it can—then the most important thing in the world is to bring that man to Jesus Christ.

Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.

Luke 15:7
The King James Version

It is easier to denature plutonium that to denature the evil spirit of man.

Dear Ministry Members…Thank you for your continued participation throughout this week as we proceeded as a solo ministry, returning to our original roots!

This Day’s Thought is again choosing to focus, just as we began, on sharing the very best Christian quotations, Bible verses and occasional smiles, five days a week, Monday through Friday, to help us all in our daily walk with the Lord.

We invite you to enjoy our new Web Site, where we highlight our special “Favorite Quotes” collection…20 years of previously shared Christian quotations!

And this coming week we will be experimenting with more enlightened “Subject” lines.

Thank you all for your loyal participation over so many years, and we hope you will continue to enjoy the daily sends as we go forward in our worship and praise of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

In His Love, Greg for This Day’s Thought

A preacher whose chief power is not in studious prayer is, to that extent, a man who does not know his business.  Prayer is the minister’s business.  He cannot be a sound preacher unless he is a priest.

P. T. Forsyth

In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”

1 Peter 5:5
The New International Version

Doubt makes the mountain which faith can move.

Certainly there are promises in the Old Testament which relate to material things.  But if God was faithful and merciful to Israel, whom he chose not because of their righteousness but only because of his love for them, how much more reason today to rest on the faithfulness of him who gave his beloved Son for us!  In that faithfulness is assured our right to God’s promises.

Philip E. Howard, Jr.

O my son, be wise and stay in God’s paths; don’t carouse with drunkards and gluttons, for they are on their way to poverty.  And remember that too much sleep clothes a man with rags.

Proverbs 23:19-21

To love to preach is one thing—to love those to whom we preach, quite another.

Richard Cecil

But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise With healing in His wings; And you shall go out And grow fat like stall-fed calves.

Malachi 4:2
The New King James Version

Every morning I open the window for my King’s grace, and every evening I sleep upon the pillow of his love and care.
