There is no escape when our Lord speaks.  He always comes with an arrestment of the understanding.

From Hebrews 4:12:  “Indeed, the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from marrow; it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”

Oswald Chambers (1874-1917) was a Scottish evangelist and Christian teacher.  Following his death from an illness while in Egypt during World War I, his wife took on the task of transcribing the detailed notes she had written from his lectures and sermons.  Gertrude Hobbs Chambers’ efforts resulted in the publication in 1924 of MY UTMOST FOR HIS HIGHEST.  I frequently read from this devotional, and it has greatly deepened my faith and understanding of God’s Word.

As democracy modifies our conception of life, it constantly raises the value and function of each member of the community, however humble he may be.

Action indeed is the sole medium of expression for ethics.

American activist Jane Addams (1860-1935) was the second woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize in 1931.  Her accomplishments are many as she labored as a reformer, social worker, and author.  She was a timeless voice for world peace and women’s suffrage.

If you are a stranger to prayer, you are a stranger to the greatest source of power known to human beings.

From 2 Chronicles 7:14:  “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”

Billy Sunday (1862-1935) was an American baseball player during the early years of professional baseball.  Fortunately for believers and nonbelievers, Sunday later became one of the most influential evangelists in America during the first two decades of the 20th century.
