“But what do you think? A man had two sons. He went to the first and said, ‘My son, go, work in the vineyard today.’ “He answered, ‘I don’t want to! ’ Yet later he changed his mind and went. Then the man went to the other and said the same thing. “ ‘I will, sir,’ he answered. But he didn’t go. “Which of the two did his father’s will? ” “The first,” they said. Jesus said to them, “I assure you: Tax collectors and prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God before you! For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you didn’t believe him. Tax collectors and prostitutes did believe him, but you, when you saw it, didn’t even change your minds then and believe him.”
- Matthew 21:28-32 HCSB
“But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without favoritism and hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who cultivate peace.”
- James 3:17-18 HCSB

Empty Cups
Empty, is this cup you bring for me,
“Oh to be nothing, nothing; painful the humbling may be, Yet low in the dust I’d lay me; that the world might my Savior see. Rather be nothing, nothing; to Him let our voices be raised, He is the fountain of blessing, He is meet to be praised.”
