DAILY WISDOM “My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:” [Proverbs 6:20] FOOD FOR THOUGHT A GOOD SOLDIER OF JESUS CHRIST 2 Timothy 2:3-4 1. A good soldier endures, suffers, and shares hardships with all other soldiers. (Matthew 10:22; 1 Corinthians 15:58) 2. A good soldier does not become entangled with the affairs of day-to-day living. (Romans 12:2) 3. A good soldier seeks to please his Commander in Chief. RELIGIOUS AWARENESS Bábism Bábism (Persian: بابی ها transliteration: Bábí há) is a religious movement that flourished in Persia from 1844 to 1852, then lingered on in exile in the Ottoman Empire (especially Cyprus) as well as underground. Its founder was Siyyid `Alí-Muhammad of Shiraz, who took the title Báb – meaning "Gate" – from a well-known Shi'a theological term. The implication was that Siyyid `Alí-Muhammad was an avenue through which continuing divine revelation could flow — a controversial and in fact dangerous position, as his execution shows. For Bahá'ís, the religion brought by the Báb is a predecessor to their own religion, the Bahá'í Faith, which is now considerably larger than the Azali Bábís. The two divided from one another in 1866.
