Thoughts for the Quiet Hour








December 13

  The disciples were called Christians first in Antioch
        Acts 11:26

This name suggests that the clear impression made by our character, as well as by our words, should be that we belong to Jesus Christ. He should manifestly be the center and the guide, the impulse and the pattern, the strength and reward, of our lives. We are Christians. That should be plain for all folks to see, whether we speak or be silent.
Is it so with you?
