March 29, 1847: "Birth of Winfield Scott Weeden, American sacred chorister and hymnwriter. During his life he led music and singing schools for the YMCA and Christian Endeavor. Of his several musical compositions, Weeden is best remembered today for the hymn, "I Surrender All." " (StudyLight.org)
Matthew 19: 27 "Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore?"
Luke 14:33 "So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple."

March 30, 1917: "All imperial lands, as well as lands belonging to monasteries, were confiscated by the Russian provisional government." (SLO)

March 31, 1860 - was born a gypsy boy Rodney Smith - who later came to faith in Christ and traded his thieving ways for giving out the Gospel message... God works through whatever means He chooses! He is not restricted by our past or present failures, but His Spirit can redeem any and all who turn to Him.

March 31,1958: "English apologist C. S. Lewis wrote in "Letters to an American Lady": 'What most often interrupts my own prayers is not great distractions but tiny ones things one will have to do or avoid in the course of the next hour.' " (SLO) Anyone who has set a time that they determined to spend in prayer knows what Lewis spoke of -that job on the list, the thing I forgot to do yesterday - they all have a way of forcing themselves into one's consciousness when trying to focus on conversing with the heavenly father.

And here is a quote from Christian apologist Francis Schaeffer that shows the importance of keeping our faith centered on God rather than a mere, fallible person -

March 31, 1976: 'You must not lose confidence in God because you lost confidence in your pastor. If our confidence in God had to depend upon our confidence in any human person, we would be on shifting sand.' " (SLO)

"Jesus did not commit Himself to them…, for He knew what was in man." (John 2:24-25)

This very significant teaching from Oswald Chambers speaks further to placing our trust in the right place -

April 1, 1872, the English working man lost a true hero and champion of their dignity and rights. After spending his whole life and being in bringing practical Christianity into every area of life, F.D. Maurice died. This excerpt summarizes his efforts -

"Maurice contended that society could only be transformed through the incarnation of Christ. Christians must become "socialists," that is, socially active, and socialists must become Christians. He was a founder and the chief voice of the Christian Socialists. ..." (Christianity.com) (Note the balance that he struck!)

Jesus did not invent a constitution by which governments should administer welfare to the needy. Rather, He taught His followers that they are to be the means by which the needs of the underprivileged and the broken ones are to be met - "Inasmuch as you have done it to the least of these, you have done it to me..." (Matthew 25:40)

April 2, 1955: "British apologist C. S. Lewis wrote in "Letters to an American Lady": 'Fear is horrid, but there's no reason to be ashamed of it. Our Lord was afraid (dreadfully so) in Gethsemane. I always cling to that as a very comforting fact.' " (SLO)

Fear is a natural response to a threat - we all feel it at times. David, the shepherd boy evidently knew fear and wrote this "The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" (Psalm 27:1, ESV)

April 3, 1950: "Death of American hymnwriter Ira B. Wilson, 70. Associated with Lorenz Publishing in Dayton, Ohio for over 40 years, Wilson's most enduring sacred composition was "Make Me a Blessing" (aka "Out of the Highways and Byways of Life")." (SLO)

One can serve Christ and "be a blessing" regardless of location - in the heart of the city or the middle of the Heartland!

April 4,1687: "James II issued a Declaration of Indulgence allowing full liberty of worship in England. The document allowed peaceable meetings of nonconformists and forgave all penalties for ecclesiastical offenses." (SLO)
