This Day’s Thought-J. H. Jowett: It is in the field of prayer…

It is in the field of prayer that life’s critical battles are lost or won. In prayer we bring our spiritual enemies into the presence of God and we fight them there.

J. H. Jowett

I fear God, yet am not afraid of him.

Thomas Browne

Haven’t you yet learned that your body is the home of the Holy Spirit God gave you, and that he lives within you? Your own body does not belong to you. For God has bought you with a great price. So use every part of your body to give glory back to God because he owns it.

This Day’s Thought-V. Raymond Edman: Discipleship means…

Discipleship means discipline. The disciple is one who has come with his ignorance, superstition, and sin, to find learning, truth and forgiveness from the Savior. Without discipline we are not disciples.

Oh that you had paid attention to my commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea;

This Day’s Thought-Hugh Thomson Kerr: We are sent…

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

This Day’s Thought-Edward John Carnell: Human beings cannot…

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

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.

This Day’s Thought-Amy Carmichael: Fragrance is like light…

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

This Day’s Thought-Julian of Norwich: Some of us believe…

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.

This Day’s Thought-Roy Gustafson: Religion is…

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.
