CQOD: 12/31/07 -- Sergeant: the principles of the Lollards

Christian Quotation of the Day

December 31, 2007

Commemoration of John Wycliffe, Reformer, 1384

Meditation:
    What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus. Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you--guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.
    -- 2 Timothy 1:13,14 (NIV)

Quotation:
    The gist of what Wycliffe* has to say on every point is practically this, that where the Church and the Bible do not agree, we must prefer the Bible; that where authority and conscience appear to be rival guides, we shall be much safer in following conscience; and that where the letter and the spirit seem to be in conflict, the spirit is above the letter.
    ... Lewis Sergeant

* John Wycliffe, "morningstar of the Reformation" (1320?-1384)

Quiet time reflection:
    Praise to You, Lord, for Your precious Word.
