Phillips: God-starved

Thursday, January 5, 2023
Meditation:
    After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you. For you granted him authority over all people that he might give eternal life to all those you have given him.”
    —John 17:1-2 (NIV)
Quotation:
    Our society today bears all the marks of a God-starved community. There is little real moral authority because no ultimate Authority is known or acknowledged.
