“For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do …

Thoughts for the Quiet Hour - February 2
In whom all the building, fitly framed together, groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord. —Ephesians 2:21
The life-tabernacle is a wondrous building; there is room for workers of all kinds in the uprearing of its mysterious and glorious walls. If we cannot do the greatest work, we may do the least. Our heaven will come out of the realization of the fact that it was God’s tabernacle we were building, and under God’s blessing that we were working. —Joseph Parker

See then that ye walk circumspectly. —Ephesians 5:15

Now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light. —Ephesians 5:8
We do not realize the importance of the unconscious part of our life ministry. It goes on continually. In every greeting we give to another on the street, in every moment’s conversation, in every letter we write, in every contact with other lives, there is a subtle influence that goes from us that often reaches further, and leaves a deep impression than the things themselves that we are doing at the time. It is not so much …

Have you ever prayed for something—perhaps for someone to be healed—and then you …

In whom also, after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise. —Ephesians 1:13
The Lord puts a seal upon His own, that everybody may know them. The sealing in your case is the Spirit producing in you likeness to the Lord. The holier you become, the seal is the more distinct and plain, the more evident to every passer-by, for then will men take knowledge of you that you have been with Jesus. —Andrew Bonar

If you are a member of the Catholic Church you are welcome among us. About 20% of all of our members were raised in the Catholic Church. However, the canonization of two popes this past week does give me an opportunity to point out one of several major differences between us and Roman Catholicism.

Created in Christ Jesus unto good works. —Ephesians 2:10
Let us ask Him to work in us to will those good works, so that our will, without being impaired in its free operation, may be permeated and moulded by His will, just as light suffuses the atmosphere without displacing it. And let us also expect that He will infuse into us sufficient strength that we may be able to do His will unto all pleasing. Thus, day by day, our life will be a manifestation of those holy volitions and lovely deeds …
