"GOD WHO Has Saved Us And Called Us To A Holy Life."

The very best place to get the 
transformed, transfigured life!
(J.R. Miller, "The Shining Light" 1911)

We need to remember that 

this world is not so much a place 
for doing Christian ministries--
as for developing Christly character.

Household life is not primarily a sphere 

for cooking, keeping things tidy, sweeping 
and dusting, nursing and training 
of children, hospitable entertainment 
of friends, and the thousand things that 
must be done each day. It is a sphere 
for transforming women's souls into 
radiant Christly beauty!

The shop, the mill, the factory, 

the store, the office, the farm--
are not primarily places for making 
machines, selling goods, weaving cloths, 
building engines, and growing crops. 
They are, first of all, places for making 
Christly men, and building holy character.

Right in the midst of what 

some people call drudgery--
is the very best place to get the 
transformed, transfigured life!
"GOD who has saved us 
and called us to a holy life" 
2 Timothy 1:9
