Joel Rockwell, Presbyterian minister, writes on the life of a sailor. He says that if a sailor given a good home, they may be able to bring as spiritual treasures to other lands.

In contrast, if a sailor continually loses his money to “pest houses of crime and vice”, they will be mired in immoral practices and demoralizing influences. They will take this with them as well to every new port.

What do you bring with you?

William Knibb, Baptist missionary to Jamaica, concludes an appeal to the British government to end slavery. He says if in his lifetime, he doesn’t see emancipation of his brothers and sisters, he will continue to wail to God in heaven. He quotes Paul (Acts 17:26) that we are made of one blood.

Is such politness to evil ever warranted? How can you further live out ideal of “one blood”? Do you wail 4 justice in prayer?
