"All men bear the image of God. They have value, not because they are redeemed, but becasue they are God's creation in God's image. Modern man, who has rejected this, has no clue as to who he is, and becasue of this he can find no real value for himself or for other men ..." Francis Schaeffer

Daily Life Quote: "Much of the knowledge that controls our practical affairs has come from those who were looking far away and were once considered mere dreamers. The most important part of our day may be the time we spend in seeking the face of the Eternal." Walter Cavert
Daily Life Verse: "Be joyful always; pray continuously; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. Do not put out the Spirit's fire." (I Thessalonians 5:16-19)
Daily Life Thought: That's a pretty heady charge. It is God's will that you be joyful always, pray continuously, and gives thanks no matter where you find yourself. And the implication is, any other posture risks quenching the Spirit at work within you. The danger here is in making this about the eternal checklist. "If I do enough of the right stuff I'll be okay." These actions imparted by Paul here though, are fruits rather than obligations. They are the by-product of a life lived seeking the face of Christ. It's not about striving. By His grace, we are already there. Ours is to realize where we are, and learn how to stay there.
Daily Life Discovery: Do you feel like your life is more about striving than abiding? Consider what the difference between the two are.
