Today's Early Church Wisdom
“Let us pray to the Lord without duplicity, in tune with one another, entreating Him with sighs and tears, as befits people in our position – placed as we are between the many, lamenting that they have fallen away, and the faithful remnant that fears it may do the same itself; between the weak, laid low in large numbers, and the few still standing firm.”
~ Cyprian of Carthage (258AD)
This week's Psalm is Psalm 31 'My Rock, My Shield, My Song'

Where Is Our Source?

Dietrich Bonhoeffer once warned that “Earthly goods deceive us into believing they can give us security,” yet Jesus exposes every false refuge and directs humanity back to wholehearted devotion to God alone. In a world increasingly marked by instability, technological dependence, spiritual deception, and fear of the future, Christ’s words remain not only relevant for today but essential for tomorrow, because they summon believers to active trust, a lived confidence that God is worthy of complete allegiance even when obedience is costly. It is not that God does not care about our material needs. Far from it! But He knows that it is only when we first seek His Kingdom that all will be well and done well. He, and He alone, is to be our Source of Supply.
