A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another:
just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
By this all people will know that you are my disciples,
if you have love for one another.
–John 13:34-35

- What act of compassion will I show today?

From Greg Stier
Let the words of William Booth, founder of The Salvation Army, be your battle cry as you fight for the Light:
While women weep, as they do now, I’ll fight. While little children go hungry, as they do now, I’ll fight. While men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do now, I’ll fight. While there is a drunkard left, while there is a poor, lost girl upon the streets, while there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I’ll fight. I’ll fight to the very end!
