We lose our way around the Bible when we take our eyes off the Cross.

Unless the Bible is first taught to our own hearts, then we have no basis from which to teach it to others at all.

We are not brought by faith into a realm of passivity, but rather, we are brought into the realm of diligent activity.

We must think ourselves empty when coming to the text of scripture and read ourselves full.

The Creator of the universe knows me.

The Christian will be sure to make enemies. It will be one of his objects to make none; but if doing what is right and believing what is true should cause him to lose every earthly friend, he will regard it as a small loss, since his great Friend in heaven will be even more friendly and will reveal Himself to him more graciously than ever.

Father, look upon us in Your goodness and kindness, we pray as a church. Help us to love each other.
