Thought for this Thursday...truth

The church would be one with itself

if it were one with the truth.

~ CH Spurgeon

My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

ahhh what a pleasant aroma we will be to our Savior,

endeavor to be that sweet aroma now.
