IS HERE A TAILOR?

I am reading that a blessed General in Germany liked to tell the following story.

His name was General von Viebahn.

The uniform of an officer came to grief in a maneuver, it was badly torn. “Is here a tailor?” asked the officer, when he met soldiers in a village. “Yes,” said one soldier. But when the officer asked him to mend his coat, he received this reply, “That I cannot do, my name is Tailor.”

General von Viebahn concluded, “Many are calling themselves “a Christian,” but they are not Christians at all.

Let us ask ourselves, “Am I also only a nominal Christian?”

Strong or Weak?

Long ago I read in the BIBLE the verse:

“‘…, IN QUIETNESS … IS YOUR STRENGTH, …'” – Isaiah 30:15

It works all the time and I choose whether I want to be strong or weak! In future I want to choose more to be quiet.
