“The man whose picture this is, is one of a thousand… You see him with his eyes lifted up to heaven, the best of books in his hand, and the law of truth written on his lips. This shows that his work is to know and unfold dark things to sinners. You see him standing as if he was pleading with men. The world behind him, a crown hanging over his head. This shows that by neglecting and despising
present things for the love that he has for his Master’s service, he is sure to have glory for his reward in the next world.”
– John Bunyan’s description of a faithful minister in Pilgrim’s Progress

A Prayer for Today: Almighty God, who shows to them that be in error the light of your truth, to the intent that they may return into the way of righteousness: Grant unto all them that are admitted into the fellowship of Christ’s religion, that they may eschew those things that are contrary to their profession, and follow all such things as are agreeable to the same; through our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
