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.

William Penn

Except by redemption no man has been delivered, no man is delivered, no man shall be delivered.

Augustine

We live by faith, not by sight.

This Day's Thought

“My peace I give unto you”; it is a peace all over from the crown of the head to the sole of the feet, an irrepressible confidence.

Oswald Chambers

This Day's Verse

How many are your works, O LORD! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.

Psalm 104:24
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

The story is told of a poor man who plodded along toward home in an Irish town carrying a huge bag of potatoes. A horse and wagon carrying a stranger came along, and the stranger stopped the wagon and invited the man on foot to climb inside. This the poor man did, but when he sat down in the wagon he held the bag of potatoes in his arms. And when it was suggested that he should set it down, he said very warmly: “Sir, I don’t like to trouble you too much. You’re giving me a ride. I’ll carry the potatoes!” Sometimes we think we are doing the Lord a favor when we carry the burden. But the work is His, and the burden is His, and He asks us only to be faithful.
