This Day's Thought

I am certain that the Bible is the Word of God. Either it is or it isn’t, and either all of it is the Word of God, or we never can be sure of any of it. It is either absolute or obsolete. If we have to start changing this verse, toning down that, apologizing for this and making allowances for that, we might as well give up, so we must take it as it is or leave it alone.

Vance Havner

This Day's Verse

And the Lord’s servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.

2 Timothy 2:24
The New International Version

This Day's Reprise

You have made us for yourself and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.

Augustine

This Day's Thought

Proverbs 4:23

This Day's Thought

“ME” is always at the bottom of all sin. One little word M-E. It may spell drink, lust, pride, covetousness, self-will; but it is some form of “me.”

Unknown

This Day's Verse

Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.

Psalm 51:12
The New King James Version

This Day's Reprise

Our real blessings often appear to us in the shapes of pains, losses, and disappointments; but let us have patience, and we soon shall see them in their proper figures.

This Day's Thought

Meditation is like a needle after which comes a thread of gold, composed of affections, prayers and resolutions.

Alphonsus Liguori

This Day's Verse

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

James 4:10
The New International Version

This Day's Smile

The stars shine over the mountains, the stars shine over the sea.
The stars look up to the mighty God, the stars look down on me;
The stars shall last for a million years, a million years and a day.
But God and I will live and love when the stars have passed away.

This Day's Thought

Attitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.

Charles Swindoll

This Day's Verse

O Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep forever such purposes and thoughts in the hearts of your people, and direct their hearts toward you.

1 Chronicles 29:18
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

The Christian is not ruined by living in the world but by the world living in him.

This Day's Thought

The amazing thing is that God follows us into the blackened ruins of our failed dreams, our misbegotten mirages, into the house of cards that has collapsed on us in some way and he speaks, not with the chastisement we feel we deserve, but of all things, with tenderness.

Paula Rinehart

This Day's Verse

So we know and believe the love God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

1 John 4:16
The Revised Standard Version

This Day's Reprise

Too many of us have a Christian vocabulary rather than a Christian experience.

This Day's Thought

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

Charles Hodge

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 Thought

The great freedom Jesus gives us is to be ourselves, defined by His love and our inner qualities and gifts rather than by any kind of show we put on for the world.

Leslie Williams

This Day's Verse

For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more.

Luke 12:48
The King James Version

This Day's Reprise

I need the opportunity to free my mind of sorrow, personal concerns; to see my world through the mirrored reflection of holiness.  I need a time of prayer to leap beyond what is limiting in me as a person, to rediscover what is important and what is trivial, to take counsel with what my tradition stresses as the living faith.  I need prayer.

This Day's Thought

He became what we are that he might make us what he is.

Athanasius

This Day's Verse

For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the Lord made the heavens. Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Psalm 96:4-6
The English Standard Version

This Day's Smile

I’ve no idea when Jesus is coming back. I’m on the Welcoming Committee, not the Planning Committee.

Wishing you a most joyous and meaningful Resurrection Sunday celebration…and may our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ bless you in your continued walk with Him.

This Day's Thought

The Lord’s Resurrection is not an isolated fact, it is a fact that concerns the whole of mankind; from Christ it extends to the world; it has a cosmic importance…the source of meaning of the human drama, the solution of the problem of evil, the origin of a new form of life, to which we give the name of Christianity.

Giovanni Montini

This Day's Verse

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me shall live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me shall never die.  Do you believe this?”

John 11:25-26
The New American Standard Bible

This Day's Smile

By His Life, Death and Resurrection—Our Lord’s and Ours…FOREVER!!
