Stott: forward towards union

Saturday, July 27, 2013
    Commemoration of Brooke Foss Westcott, Bishop of Durham, Teacher, 1901
    Commemoration of John R. W. Stott, spiritual writer and teacher, 2011
Meditation:
    Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of God’s household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.
    —Ephesians 2:19-20 (NIV)
Quotation:
    If only we could agree that Scripture is ‘God’s Word written’, that it is supreme in its authority over all human traditions however venerable, and that it must be allowed to reform and renew the church, we would take an immediate leap forward in ecumenical relationships. Reformation according to the Word of God is indispensable to reunion.
    ... John R. W. Stott (1921-2011), The Contemporary Christian, Inter-Varsity, 1992, p. 182 (see the book)

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, if it be Your will, unite Your people in Your Son. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
