Jones: relativism in the churches

Monday, March 4, 2013
    Commemoration of Felix, Bishop, Apostle to the East Angles, 647
Meditation:
    For [Apollos] vigorously refuted the Jews in public debate, proving from the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ.
    —Acts 18:28 (NIV)
Quotation:
    Men despise the Church when it doesn’t stand for the Christian viewpoint. Not beginning with the absolute, the Kingdom, it becomes a part of the relativisms of kingdoms of this world.
    ... E. Stanley Jones (1884-1973), The Christ of the American Road, Abingdon-Cokesbury Press, 1944, p. 217 (see the book)
    See also Acts 18:28; Matt. 13:44-48; Luke 17:20-21; Rom. 14:17-18; 2 Cor. 5:16-17; Phil. 1:27; 1 Thess. 5:21; 2 Thess. 2:15; 2 Tim. 1:13; Jude 1:3; Rev. 12:10-11
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, am I reflecting the world’s relativism in my life and speech? CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
