CQOD: 01/31/06 -- Phillips: Judgement and the modern mind

Christian Quotation of the Day

January 31, 2006

Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888

Meditation:
    I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them. For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.
    -- Romans 16:17-18 (ESV)

Quotation:
    Much of today’s Christianity is almost completely earthbound, and the words of Jesus about what follows this life are scarcely studied at all. This, I believe, is partly due to man’s enormous technical successes, which make him feel master of the human situation. But it is also partly due to our scholars and experts. By the time they have finished with their dissection of the New Testament and with their explaining away as “myth” all that they find disquieting or unacceptable to the modern mind, the Christian way of life is little more than humanism with a slight tinge of religion.
    ... J. B. Phillips (1906-1982), Ring of Truth [1967]

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, I need Your miracles, Your power and strength, for I am weak. Grant that I will never depart from Your word.
