Every action of our lives touches on some chord that will vibrate in eternity.
From Proverbs 16:2: “All one’s ways may be pure in one’s own eyes, but the Lord weighs the spirit.”
Edwin Hubbel Chapin (1814-1880) was an American pastor and poet. He also served as editor of the CHRISTIAN LEADER.
The only one qualified to throw a stone . . . didn’t.
From John 8:4-7: “They said to Him, ‘Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery. Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do You say?’ They said this to test Him, so that they might have some charge to bring against Him. Jesus bent down and wrote with His finger on the ground. When they kept on questioning Him, He straightened up and said to them, ‘Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.'”
