Commemoration of Martyrs of Papua New Guinea, 1942
Meditation:
And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
—Ephesians 4:30 (NIV)
Quotation:
The Christian ethic ... is not a recipe for righteousness; it is not a synthesis of Christian faith and the world’s values; it is not a way of enabling Christians to live without the Holy Spirit. It is the very opposite of all this.
... Jacques Ellul (1912-1994), The Presence of the Kingdom, tr. Olive Wyon, Philadelphia: Wesminster Press, 1951, p. 23 (see the book)
Quiet time reflection:
Lord, Your people depend on Your continual grace.CQOD Blog email RSS
