Studying this morning's four readings from the St. James Daily Devotional Guide (click to subscribe), I examined myself with these questions. Where is your self-examination leading today?
Psalms 133:1-3. What opportunities are open to me, here and now, for building greater unity among all the followers of Jesus by stressing our shared conviction that Christ is risen and Christ is Lord?
