Oct 29.98: Light For The Day - "How Much Religion?"

Religion is not ours till we live by it, till it is the
Religion of our thoughts, words, and actions, 
till it goes with us into every place, sits uppermost
on every occasion, and forms and governs our
hopes and fears, our cares and pleasures. 

- William Law (1761)

"So Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do,
do it all for the glory of God." 
- 1 Corinthians 10:31 (NIV)

-------------

"For the grace of God that brings salvation has
appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to
ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live
self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this
present age, while we wait for the blessed hope--
the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior,
Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem 
us from all wickedness and to purify for himself
a people that are his very own, eager to do what
is good. 

These, then, are the things you should teach. 
Encourage and rebuke with all authority. 
Do not let anyone despise you."

-- Titus 2:11-15 (NIV)

We may live in a sad world,
but the sad world doesn't have to live in us.

"So rejoice in Him, all those who are His.
Shout for joy, all those who try to obey Him."

-- Psalm 32:11 (TLB)
