June 12 MORNING
Daniel 5:27 Thou art weighed in the balances and art found wanting.
It is well frequently to weigh ourselves in the scale of God's Word. You will find it a holy exercise to read some psalm of David, and, as you meditate upon each verse, to ask yourself, "Can I say this? Have I felt as David felt? Has my heart ever been broken on account of sin, as his was when he penned his penitential psalms? Has my soul been full of true confidence in the hour of difficulty as his was when he sang of God's mercies in the cave of Adullam, or in the holds of Engedi? Do I take the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord?"
Then turn to the life of Christ, and as you read, ask yourselves how far you are conformed to His likeness. Endeavour to discover whether you have the meekness, the humility, the lovely spirit which He constantly inculcated and displayed. Take, then, the epistles, and see whether you can go with the apostle in what he said of his experience. Have you ever cried out as he did-"O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death"? Have you ever felt his self-abasement? Have you seemed to yourself the chief of sinners, and less than the least of all saints? Have you known anything of his devotion? Could you join with him and say, "For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain"? |

The Best Way White Christians Can Respond to Racial Tensions |

Brent Rinehart |
As a white Christian, I admit, it's hard to even know where to start. It's easy to post a Martin Luther King, Jr. quote on social media and let the world know where we stand on racial issues. It's much harder to know how to represent Christ in real life. Advocacy is important, and I think our African-American brothers and sisters need to see us posting these types of messages. But, it's simply not enough...
