Our Basic Need

...he hath set his love upon me...
â€”Psalm 91:14

A basic need of mankind is affection. Those who "abide in Him" are objects of God's affection and love. You cannot say that you are friendless when Christ has said, "Henceforth I call you not servants but I have called you friends" (John 15:15). To you who lament the fact that you have been bereft of affection and love in this life, I happily commend Christ. He loved you enough to lay down His life for you. Not only that, but by His atonement upon the cross, He purchased the favor of God in your behalf, and now through Him you may be the recipient of the grace and love of God without measure.

Prayer for the day
Thank You for Your love, Father, that no matter where I amâ€”in whatever situationâ€”You are there, loving me.

Don't Lose Sight

...when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem...
Luke 2:45

We might as well face it, strife has even infiltrated our church life. It is true enough that the Church is now the Church militant. But, as such, its warfare ought to be that of dedication to revealed truth and divine...More
