Black background quote card featuring Joseph Parker (1830–1902). Left: sepia portrait of Parker, labeled with his name and The People’s Bible. Right: a quotation reflecting on generosity and self-examination, asking whether one who withholds abundance can truly answer God’s call, and concluding with Parker’s resolve to hold his own life under continual moral inquiry.

Joseph Parker, an English #Congregational minister, turns Matthew 25 inward. Who truly gives as they ought—sharing even their last crust with Christ in the poor? He questions whether comfortable lives can claim obedience at all. How can you live an examined life?

This #scarce little 1899 #book by #Congregational #minister, #NewellDwightHillis, explores the loss of the #spiritual sense, and how it can be recovered. Lovely #ArtNouveau cover. $35. #Booksky #religion #philosophy #oldbooks #Prettybooks #LittleBooks

PETER TAYLOR FORSYTH (1848-1921) Positive Preaching and Modern Mind "We may believe that, by the will of Christ, it is only through a real Church, truly Christianized, that Humanity can be served and saved for the Kingdom. We may feel that the love of Humanity could not survive apart from not only our love of Christ, but also from the personal communion with Christ in a Church which feeds that love."

P.T. Forsyth, a Scottish #Congregational minister, said a real church must both serve and save—only if it’s soaked in Christ, not slogans. We now sneer at saving, or use it to dodge serving. Forsyth’s irritation lands here: neither works without real communion with Christ.

A white Greek Revival church built in 1832. The steeple is octagonal at the top. The entry door is to the right rather than the center. The photo was taken in winter and the surrounding trees are without leaves.

The Church of Christ Congregational, Goshen, Connecticut (United Church of Christ). The congregation was established in 1740 and the current building was built in 1832. #church #congregational

Fyi, this is the 78th annual service, an incredible legacy from TBI, First Unitarian Church of Oklahoma City and Mayflower Congregational Church
