Taylor: to live as we preach

Saturday, November 17, 2018
    Feast of Hugh, Carthusian Monk, Bishop of Lincoln, 1200
Meditation:
    Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God—even as I try to please everybody in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.
    —1 Corinthians 10:32-33 (NIV)
Quotation:
    We are not only to renounce evil, but to manifest the truth...
    We tell this people the world is vain; let our lives manifest that it is so. We tell them that our home is above—that all these things are transitory—does our dwelling look like it? O to live consistent lives!
    ... J. Hudson Taylor (1832-1905), in Days of Blessing in Inland China, Montagu Harry Proctor Beauchamp, London: Morgan & Scott, 1887, p. 33 (see the book)

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, show me how to clean up my act! CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
