    Commemoration of Martyrs of Japan, 1597
Meditation:
    We live by faith, not by sight.
    —2 Corinthians 5:7 (NIV)
Quotation:
    I have no remedy for those who wish to walk by sight because they find the way of faith too unnerving, or for those who wish to freeze theological development at some arbitrary point in past history. I have no comfort for those who, afraid of missing eternal truth, choose to identify it with some previous theological work and try to impose it unchanged on the present generation or desire to speak out of the past and not to come into contact with the modern situation. I have no answer for those who are frightened to think God may have more light to break forth from his holy Word.

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, Your word is trustworthy above that of any man. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
