"The ecclesia of Christ can only be as good as its individual members, and if we are not to decline and decay Christadelphians throughout the world must take stock of their individual lives so that a strong flow of spiritual energy may not only revitalize their own lives, but pass to, and help to strengthen, other parts of the body.

 

The unity of scripture study in the daily readings, greater activity in spiritual development and fruit-bearing, should help us to love one another not merely by word, and with the tongue, but in deed and in truth (1 John 3:18).

 

Our doctrinal foundations which from the first have been quite firmly established have not always been built upon with a strong spiritual framework: the life of the spirit has always been more difficult to express in ecclesial and daily life; yet it is the spirit which preserves the unity of doctrine, fellowship, and service in life."

misunderstand or pervert them."

- Tryon Edwards

 

"If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God.

If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides,

so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.

To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen."

1 Peter 4:11

"It is only with the heart that one can see rightly;

what is essential is invisible to the eye."

"He that takes truth for his guide, and duty for his end,

may safely trust to God's providence to lead him aright."

- Blaise Pascal

 

"Blessed is the man

who makes the Lord his trust,

who does not look to the proud,

to those who turn aside to false gods.

Many, O Lord my God,

are the wonders you have done.

The things you planned for us

no one can recount to you;

were I to speak and tell of them,

they would be too many to declare."

Psalm 40:4-5

"Water is life's matter and matrix, mother and medium.

There is no life without water."

- Albert Szent-Gyorgyi

 

"... And that water is a picture of baptism,

which now saves you, not by removing dirt from your body,

but as a response to God from a clean conscience.

It is effective because of the resurrection of Jesus Christ."

1 Peter 3:21

"Faith is a knowledge within the heart, beyond the reach of proof."

- Khalil Gibran

 

"... 'The message is near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart.'

This is the message about faith that we are proclaiming:

If you declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord,

and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,

you will be saved. For one believes with his heart and is justified,

and declares with his mouth and is saved."

Romans 10:8-10

"Remember this. When people choose to withdraw far from a fire,

the fire continues to give warmth, but they grow cold.

When people choose to withdraw far from light,

the light continues to be bright in itself but they are in darkness.

This is also the case when people withdraw from God."

- Augustine

 

"Be ready for action, and have your lamps burning. Be like servants waiting

to open the door at their master's knock when he returns from a wedding.

Blessed are those servants whom the master finds awake when he comes..."

Luke 12:35-37

"The key is to keep company only with people who uplift you,

whose presence calls forth your best."

- Epictetus

 

"Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved,

compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness,

and patience, bearing with one another and,

if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other;

as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.

And above all these put on love,

which binds everything together in perfect harmony."

Colossians 3:12-14
