Spiritual Quote of the Day (David French, on Unity Through the Pursuit of Virtue)

“The American church is torn apart by conflict over theology. It should be united by a pursuit of virtue. The church that truly influences a nation will be one that focuses on doing good more than on being right.”—Opinion columnist David French, “Some Think What You Preach Matters More Than What You Do. It Doesn’t,” The New York Times, Aug. 4, 2024

Spiritual Quote of the Day (St. Paul to the Philippians, on Being ‘United in Heart’)

“Brothers and sisters:
If there is any encouragement in Christ,
any solace in love,
any participation in the Spirit,
any compassion and mercy,
complete my joy by being of the same mind, with the same love,
united in heart, thinking one thing.
Do nothing out of selfishness or out of vainglory;
rather, humbly regard others as more important than yourselves,
each looking out not for his own interests,
but also for those of others.”—Philippians 2:1-4
