Temple: know them by their fruits

Friday, February 22, 2013
Meditation:
Do not keep talking so proudly
    or let your mouth speak such arrogance,
for the LORD is a God who knows,
    and by him deeds are weighed.
    —1 Samuel 2:3 (NIV)
Quotation:
    To put it shortly, the Church forgets that Christianity is not an attitude of mind, but a type of life: a man’s spirit is not known by his opinion (creeds etc.) but by his action and general conduct.

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, conform my actions to Your will. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
