If truth were told, most of us spend longer each day on personal cleanliness than on practical godliness.

Even the most casual events are connected to God's purpose for His people from all eternity.

At best we are but clay, animated dust; but viewed as sinners, we are monsters indeed. Let it be published in heaven as a miracle that the Lord Jesus should set His heart's love upon people like us.

May the spirit of Christ so fill us afresh that we might in turn be a refreshment and an encouragement to one another.

We find Christ in all the Scriptures. In the Old Testament He is predicted, in the Gospels He is revealed, in Acts He is preached, in the epistles He is explained, and in Revelation He is expected.

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

The fact that we have to discuss reality as though there were no reality is an indication of the confusion of our times.
