This Day's Thought

So long as we are full of self we are shocked at the faults of others. Let us think often of our own sin, and we shall be lenient to the sins of others.

François de Fénelon

This Day's Verse

“Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

Matthew 17:20
The New International Version

This Day's Smile

Not until each loom is silent
And the shuttles cease to fly,
Will God unroll the pattern
And explain the reason why
The dark threads are as needful
In the Weaver’s skillful hand
As the threads of gold and silver
For the pattern which He planned.

This Day's Thought

That which of all things unfits man for the reception of Christ as a Saviour, is not gross profligacy and outward, vehement transgression, but it is self-complacency, fatal self-righteousness and self-sufficiency.

Alexander Maclaren

Trust in the LORD forever, for in the LORD GOD you have an everlasting rock.

Isaiah 26:4
The New Revised Standard Version

The call to repentance follows men from the cradle to the grave.

This Day's Verse

Listen to the words of the wise; apply your heart to my instruction. For it is good to keep these sayings in your heart and always ready on your lips. I am teaching you today—yes, you—so you will trust in the LORD.

Proverbs 22:17-19
The New Living Translation

This Day's Smile

A Presbyterian, a Methodist and a Baptist were discussing which church Jesus would join if he were to return to earth. “He would obviously join the Presbyterians,” said the Presbyterian, “because we have the form of government nearest to the New Testament pattern.” “No,” said the Methodist, “he would join us because of our emphasis on preaching and fellowship.” Eventually, they turned to the Baptist, who had been silent all this time. “And what do you think?” they asked. He replied, “I don’t see why he should want to transfer his membership!”

This Day's Smile

A man fell off a cliff but managed to grab hold of a branch on his way down. He hung there and shouted up to the top,
“Is anybody up there?”
“Yes,” came the reply, “God is up here!”
“Can you help me, God?”
“Yes.”
“What do you want me to do?”
“Let go of the branch.”
There was a pause.
“Is there anybody else up there?”

This Day's Thought

Religion is the fear and love of God; its demonstration is good works; and faith is the root of both, for without faith we cannot please God; nor can we fear and love what we do not believe.
