Wednesday, June 17, 2020
    Commemoration of Samuel & Henrietta Barnett, Social Reformers, 1913 & 1936
Meditation:
    [Jesus:] “And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward.”
    —Matthew 10:42 (NIV)
Quotation:
    Evangelism and social concern are like the two wings of a bird. Without an intimate association of the two, the church cannot hope to grow over the long term.
    ... Thomas Houston, former president, World Vision International, in a private communication from World Vision
