Perfect Peace

Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. (Isaiah 26:3 KJV)

This verse was given to my wife years ago by a dear and valued Friend. Through the years it became a guidon which I try to wear every day.

If you can live by that, the devil will have no chance to afflict you with any nasty habits, prejudices, fears and pride. Try it.

Let me know if you have success with it. Do you have a favorite verse that means as much to you? Share it here.

re Oswald's missionaries

I wonder if Oswald perceived 'that of God in Everyone' the way most Quakers I know perceive it. Everyone has his own Vision of God: Oswald's God may not be my God. Is he yours? Who is your God (if any)? If you could answer that question here, it might provoke some welcome activity to this blog. Or should it be laid down? Please comment!

Role of the Missionary

Re Chambers take on the role of the missionary I can only say that it doesn't speak to me. I believe rather than Jesus means us to heal the sick, feed the hungry, etc. What do you think?

The Eternal Crush of Things

""I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some." 1 Corinthians 9:22.

I find it easy to wish that I was somewhere else, somebody else, somebody without all my blemishes and flaws. But I'm right where I need to be for God to do with me what he wills.

Purity of Heart is to will one thing.
