A slip from the desk
Slip 5581
From the blinding deceitful nature of sin. The heart of man is full of sin and corruption, and that corruption is of an exceedingly darkening, blinding nature. Sin always carries a degree of darkness with it; and the more it prevails, the more it darkens and deludes the mind.--It is from hence that the knowing whether there be any wicked way in us is a difficult thing. The difficulty is not at all for want of light without us, not at all because the word of God is not plain, or the rules not clear; but it is because of the darkness within us.

2026–27 Bible Reading Challenge
- Help you actually succeed. This plan is practical, realistic, and guilt-free. Life happens. We get it.
- Get you inviting others. The feast isn't meant to be eaten alone. We want you reading with friends, family, and fellow believers.
- Missed a day or a whole week? Don't try to catch up. If you skipped breakfast and lunch, you don't need to eat them before dinner. Start with today's reading.
- Same page, many traditions. Our focus stays on the text itself. That frees us to encourage one another across differences and trust the Spirit with the rest. We're sharing a love of Scripture, not settling arguments.
- Nothing to buy. No subscriptions, no products, no fees. Invite your friends freely.

Let the business of the world take care of itself. My business is to get the world saved; if this involves the standing still of the looms and the shutting up of the factories, and the staying of the sailing of the ships…

Prayer is the easiest and hardest of all things; the simplest and the sublimest; the weakest and the most powerful; its results lie outside the range of human possibilities—they are limited only by the omnipotence of God…

No learning can make up for the failure to pray. No earnestness, no diligence, no study, no gifts will supply its lack.
