CQOD: 12/17/07 -- Lewis: the Object of theology

Christian Quotation of the Day

December 17, 2007

Commemoration of Eglantine Jebb, Social Reformer, Founder of 'Save the Children', 1928

Meditation:
[Moses:] Be careful that you do not forget the LORD your God, failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day. Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down, and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied, then your heart will become proud and you will forget the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
-- Deuteronomy 8:11-14 (NIV)

Quotation:
What makes some theological works like sawdust to me is the way the authors can go on discussing how far certain positions are adjustable to contemporary thought, or beneficial in relation to social problems, or “have a future” before them, but never squarely ask what grounds we have for supposing them to be true accounts of any objective reality. As if we were trying to make rather than to learn. Have we no Other to reckon with?
... C. S. Lewis (1898-1963)

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, grant me a mind that seeks only Your truth.
