CQOD: 02/28/06 -- Joad: the truth about evil

Christian Quotation of the Day

February 28, 2006Meditation:
    But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.
    -- James 1:14-15 (ESV)

Quotation:
    The view of evil which regards it as the by-product of circumstances which circumstances can, therefore, alter and even eliminate—has come to seem to me intolerably shallow, and the contrary view of it as endemic in man—more particularly in its Christian form, the doctrine of original sin—to express a deep and essential insight into human nature.
    ... C. E. M. Joad (1891-1953), The Recovery of Belief [1952]

Quiet time reflection:
    You are my salvation, Lord, and not me myself.
