Be Encouraged by God’s Word
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
— Romans 5:8, NIV
Wisdom from Fellow Pilgrims
Isaiah was not called to succeed as the world counts success, he was not called to popularity. He was called to find his work in being true to God, to find his success in the divine favor, to do God's work for God's sake, and leave his work and himself in God's hands.
— Phineas F. Bresee
Pray Together with Us
O Holy Spirit, Love of God, infuse Thy grace most plentifully into my heart. Come and dwell in this soul that longs to be Thy holy Temple. Heal the lurking distempers of my heart; pierce me through with the dart of Thy love. Kindle in me such a holy fire, that it flames out in a bright and devout zeal, and burning up all the dross of sensual affections, may possess and purify my whole spirit, soul, and body.
