This Day's Thought

Our confidence in Christ does not make us lazy, negligent or careless, but on the contrary it awakens us, urges us on, and makes us active in living righteous lives and doing good.  There is no self-confidence to compare with this.

Ulrich Zwingli

This Day's Verse

Then you and the Levites and the foreigners residing among you shall rejoice in all the good things the Lord your God has given to you and your household.

Deuteronomy 26:11
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

This Day's Thought

Not only have vast numbers of Americans lost all sense of the sacred, the moral, and the ethical, but the spiritual leaders from both the laity and the priesthood are often found in the forefront of this irreligious pursuit of comfort rather than conviction-of accommodation rather than truth-of the pleasant life rather than the meaningful life.

Frank Carlson

This Day's Verse

For we are the temple of the living God.

2 Corinthians 6:16
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

We can all get to heaven without health, without wealth, without fame, without learning, without culture, without beauty, without friends, without ten thousand things.  But we can never get to heaven without Christ.

This Day's Thought

It is a terrible mistake to understand Jesus as having been crucified by some especially bad people in the first century.  Jesus was crucified by the highest reach of human religiosity, morality, and political justice.

Albert T. Mollegen

This Day's Verse

that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.

1 Timothy 2:2
The King James Version

This Day's Smile

Glorious indeed is the world of God around us, but more glorious the world of God within us.  There lies the land of song; there lies the poet’s native land.

This Day's Thought

The very helplessness of the world today is in itself a repudiation of that self-sufficient and self-confident view of life that the world in its progressive development has outgrown the need of Christ.  It is following Christ that gives the world what it most needs—a standard of right living, a cause to maintain and defend, a Leader to follow, and a law to obey.

This Day's Verse

I am not worthy of the least of all your loving kindnesses shown me again and again just as you promised me.

The Living Bible

This Day's Reprise

This Day's Thought

It is not difficult to see one vital significance of Jesus Christ: He has given us the most glorious interpretation of life’s meaning that the sons of men have ever had.  The fatherhood of God, the friendship of the Spirit, the sovereignty of righteousness, the law of love, and glory of service, the coming of the kingdom, the eternal hope—there never was an interpretation of life to compare with that.

Harry Emerson Fosdick

This Day's Verse

How do you know what is going to happen tomorrow?  For the length of your lives is as uncertain as the morning fog—now you see it; soon it is gone.

James 4:14
The Living Bible

This Day's Smile

My advice to you is, take a house next door to the Physician, for it will be very singular if you should prove to be the very first He ever turned away unhealed.

There is a City of God, and its Founder has inspired us with a love which makes us covet its citizenship.

This Day's Verse

The Lord preserves the faithful

Psalm 31:23
The English Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

If our greatest need had been information, God would have sent an educator.  If our greatest need had been technology, God would have sent us a scientist.  If our greatest need had been money, God would have sent us an economist.  But since our greatest need was forgiveness, God sent us a Savior.

This Day's Thought

God cares about how you use your time because that time is a gift from Him.  It is yours to redeem, commit, waste, or even steal.  How are you treating your gift?
