CQOD: 10/10/06 -- Manley: first things first

Christian Quotation of the Day

October 10, 2006

Feast of Paulinus, Bishop of York, Missionary, 644

Meditation:
    But you must remember, beloved, the predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. They said to you, "In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions." It is these who cause divisions, worldly people, devoid of the Spirit. But you, beloved, build yourselves up in your most holy faith; pray in the Holy Spirit; 21keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life.
    -- Jude 17-21

Quotation:
    Wilberforce, Lord Shaftesbury, and many other evangelicals, have been leaders in social reform, but it was not their religion. Their efforts succeeded because they put first things first, and believed firmly in the Word of God, in the conversion of the individual, in prayer, and in using spiritual means for spiritual work.
    ... G. T. Manley, Christian Unity [1945]

Quiet time reflection:
    May I always see You, first, in all that I undertake.
