This Day's Thought

Where is the foolish person who would think it in his power to commit more than God could forgive.

Francis de Sales

This Day's Verse

“Oh, that we might know the Lord!  Let us press on to know him.  He will respond to us as surely as the arrival of dawn or the coming of rains in early spring.”

Hosea 6:3
The New Living Translation

This Day's Smile

It is rare when injustice, or slights patiently borne, do not leave the heart at the close of the day filled with marvellous joy and peace.

This Day’s Thought-Thursday

This Day's Thought

The whole history of the Christian life is a series of resurrections.  Every time a man finds his heart is troubled, that he is not rejoicing in God, a resurrection must follow; a resurrection out of the night of troubled thought into the gladness of the truth.

George MacDonald

This Day's Verse

Be still in the presence of the Lord, and wait patiently for him to act.

Psalm 37:7
The New Living Translation

This Day's Reprise

A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said wouldn’t be a great moral teacher.  He’d be either a lunatic—on a level with a man who says he’s a poached egg—or else he’d be the devil of hell.  You must make your choice.  Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse.  You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God.  But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher.  He hasn’t left that open to us.  He didn’t intend to.

C. S. Lewis
