Brown: from the Godward side of life
Saturday, July 4, 2026
Meditation:
Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.
—1 Peter 2:11-12 (NIV)
Quotation:
It is the Church’s mission to confront the world from the Godward side of life with the Christian principles of a free and just society. The dignity, the value, and the importance of every individual are made abundantly clear by the Son of God. He has shown us what human life is intended to be, and we must be willing to stand against whatever is amiss in the temper and disposition of the world, or of any segment of it.
... Robert R. Brown (1910-1994), “Totalitarianism, Communism, Secularism,” included in Anglican Congress 1963: Report of Proceedings, Eugene Rathbone Fairweather, ed., Editorial Committee, Anglican Congress, 1963, p. 34 (see the book)
See also 1 Pet. 2:11-12; John 15:19; Rom. 12:2; Eph. 2:1-2; 1 John 2:15; 4:4-5; 5:4
Quiet time reflection:
Lord, while we strive here, You hold open the door to our true home.
