Dawn: richly indwelling

Sunday, February 15, 2015
    Commemoration of Thomas Bray, Priest, Founder of SPCK, 1730
Meditation:
    Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
    —Colossians 3:16 (NIV)
Quotation:
    Gentleness and patience, humility and thankfulness, compassion and kindness, love—these are totally irrelevant in the culture that surrounds us. But they are the language of grace, the culture of faith, the characteristics of the kingdom.
    We are formed with such virtues when... the Word of Christ dwells in us richly.
