Quotes of the day
Yet in the midst of time there may be a practical symbol of the eternal; there may be
the weekly Sabbath, type of heaven. There may be six days of consecrated work,
followed by one of consecrated rest. And in this pulsing of the weeks there may be a
moving image of eternity. A man can not work and rest at the same time; he is not
God. But he can consecrate his work, and from the Sabbath he may renew the eternal
life which shall help him to give some sabbatic quality to the work days. Time is itself
sacred -- not in the magical sense, not in the polytheistic sense -- but in the sense that
it can be consecrated. As the years go by, the pressure of work will increase, until men
are strained and worn by even their consecrated labors. Increasingly then there will be
the need of the Sabbath. (A. H. Lewis)
A heart that loves the Lord will leap for joy at the prospect of a day with Him. Doesn't a child love to have a day with his father? Of course the worldly will loathe giving any time to God. The self-absorbed will regret any day spent in his presence. Without love for God such a requirement will seem narrow and a heavy burden. But for the godly it is a broad road of liberty and joy. There is an entire day each week liberated from my ordinary recreations and labours to serve the lover of my soul and to be with Him.
(Walter Chantry)
"The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried." (G. K. Chesterton)
