| Monday 1 John 2:7 I am not writing a new commandment, for it is an old one I have always had, right from the beginning. This commandment–to love one another–is the same message heard before. Tuesday 1 John 2:8 Yet it is also new. This commandment is true in You, Jesus, and is true among us, because the darkness is disappearing and the true Light is already shining. Wednesday 1 John 2:9 If I say, “I am living in the light,” but hate a Christian brother or sister, I am still living in darkness. Thursday 1 John 2:10 If I love other Christians I am living in the light and do not cause anyone to stumble. Friday 1 John 2:11 If I hate a Christian brother or sister I am living and walking in darkness. I am lost, having been blinded by the darkness. Zingers from Croft M. Pentz, Tyndale House Publishers 4666. Forget yourself for others, and others will not forget you. 4667. God measures our service not by our ability, but by our willingness. 4668. God has called us to play the game, not to keep the score. 4669. Don’t despise little things; a lantern can do what the sun can never do–shine at night. 4670. The Christian’s place is on the front line, not on the sidelines. |
