Christian Quotation of the Day

January 19, 1996

Commemoration of Wulfstan, Bishop of Worcester, 1095

         Men expect that religion should cost them no pains, that happiness should drop into their laps without any design and endeavor on their part, and that, after they have done what they please while they live, God should snatch them up to heaven when they die. But though "the commandments of God be not grievous", yet it is fit to let men know that they are not thus easy.
         ... John Tillotson
