Verse From The Bible for Today

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”

• James 1:27

Passage from The Bible for Today

• James 1:22-27

Comment on Today’s Reading is by E James Wilder

“the clear duty of real people goes beyond “live and let live.” We are mandated to protect widows, orphans, the alien and all those who lack sustaining relationships. As long as we fail to be protected, we will fall prey to the typical sexual fantasies that sells pornographic magazines and films.

The only real solution is to teach our children that the source of their power is in the nurturing and protecting the image of God created within them. When we express our essential nature, then substitutes, like pornographic fantasies, lose their appeal.”

• E James Wilder

Wilder grew up in villages tucked into the Andes mountains of Colombia and travels learning and teaching resiliency in Southern Sudan, India, Bhutan, Sri Lanka, Eastern Europe, Mexico, Korea, Thailand, Chile, Brazil, Alaska and even Canada. Wilder draws on his extensive life experience from his Ph.D. in psychology and M.A. in theology to his walk through many worlds and cultures as a lens to examine life and to tell stories

Mother Basilea Schlink’s Attitude for Today

"You do not build up the Kingdom of God when you insist upon your rights - instead, you destroy it. Insistence upon one's rights and quarrelling are enemies of the Kingdom of God and of Christ. so choose peace -even at the expense of your rights - and you will be God's friend."

• Mother Basilea Schlink
