Christian Quotation of the Day

August 14, 2006

Commemoration of Maximilian Kolbe, Franciscan Friar, Priest, Martyr, 1941

Meditation:
    By steadfast love and faithfulness iniquity is atoned for, and by the fear of the LORD one turns away from evil.
    -- Proverbs 16:6 (ESV)

Quotation:
    That fear which keeps from sin and excites the soul to cleave more firmly to God, be the object of it what it will, is no servile fear, but a holy fear and due reverence unto God and His word.
    ... John Owen (1616-1683)

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, strengthen my belief in You, so that I may fear You only.
