CQOD: 11/17/07 -- Kierkegaard: holding on to sin

Christian Quotation of the Day

November 17, 2007

Feast of Hugh, Carthusian Monk, Bishop of Lincoln, 1200

Meditation:
    But the wicked are like the tossing sea, which cannot rest, whose waves cast up mire and mud. "There is no peace," says my God, "for the wicked."
    -- Isaiah 57:20,21 (NIV)

---

Quotation:
    Frightful this is in a sense, but it is true, and every one who has merely some little knowledge of the human heart can verify it: there is nothing to which a man holds so desperately as to his sin.
    ... Søren Kierkegaard (1813-1855), Three Discourses at the Communion on Fridays [1849]

---

Quiet time reflection:
    Help me, Lord, to let go of my sin.
