This Day's Thought

We can enter into the truth only by love.

Blaise Pascal


This Day's Verse

Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.

Romans 13:11-14
The English Standard Version


This Day's Reprise

One Sunday I was entertained in a farm home of a member of a rural church. I was impressed by the intelligence and unusually good behavior of the only child in the home, a little four-year-old boy. Then I discovered one reason for the child’s charm. The mother was at the kitchen sink, washing the intricate parts of the cream separator when the little fellow came to her with a magazine. “Mother,” he asked, “what is this man in the picture doing?” To my surprise she dried her hands, sat down on a chair and taking the boy in her lap she spent ten minutes answering his questions. After the child had left I commented on her having interrupted her chores to answer the boy’s questions, saying, “Most mothers wouldn’t have bothered.” “I expect to be washing cream separators for the rest of my life,” she told me, “But never again will my son ask me that question!”

Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle which fits them all.

Oliver Wendell Holmes


This Day's Verse

You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.

Deuteronomy 6:5
The English Standard Version


This Day's Reprise

A novice monk asked a seasoned old veteran of the abbey, “After you entered the monastery, did you still struggle with the devil?” “No” Answered the older monk. “I struggled with God.” “With God?” Exclaimed his neophyte friend, “How could you hope to win?” The older monk softly replied, “When I struggle with God, I hope to lose.”

This Day’s Thought-Monday


This Day's Thought

For the Christian, Jesus is the Way. All things are measured by his Way: by his healing grace, his call to forgiveness and purity of heart, nonviolence and a concern for justice; by his relinquishment of earthly power and dominance; affirmation of agape (friendship and self-giving Love) as a new basis for kinship, of change of heart as the requirement for righteousness, and of the transcendent power of suffering.

Madonna Kolbenschlag


This Day's Verse

The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.

Psalm 145:18
The New King James Version


This Day's Smile

Sometime near a century ago the advice was given to young preachers: “When you go to the city to preach, take your best coat; when you go to the country, take your best sermon.”

This Day's Thought

Our immediate temptation will be to ask for specific solutions to specific problems, and for the ability to help other people as we have already thought they should be helped.  In that case, we are asking God to do it our way.

Bill W.

I trust in the steadfast love of God forever and ever.

Psalm 52:8
The English Standard Version

This Day's Thought

God alone can put divine truths into the soul…He chooses that they should pass from the heart into the understanding, and not from the understanding into the heart, in order to humble that proud faculty of reason.

Blaise Pascal


This Day's Verse

For troubles without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see.  They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails within me.  Be pleased, O LORD, to save me; O LORD, come quickly to help me.

Psalm 40:12-13
The New International Version


This Day's Reprise

Grace means that God already loves us as much as an infinite God can possibly love.

This Day's Thought

The only significance of life consists in helping to establish the kingdom of God; and this can be done only by means of the acknowledgment and profession of the truth by each one of us.

This Day's Verse

You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.

Micah 7:19

The true measure of loving God is to love Him without measure.
