David Bronnert, who was quoted in CQOD at the beginning of the month, has kindly sent me the following meditation taken from the church magazine of St. John's Church, Southall, in London, where he serves as vicar, living out, under God, the previous quotation he wrote thirty years ago. I am grateful to brother David for sending me this timely teaching so that I could present it to you. The light shines in the darkness   Candles are always popular for giving a warm romantic glow and this time of year they are to be seen on many different occasions. Of course a candle is easy to blow out! So much so that its flickering light was chosen by Shakespeare as a picture of the transitory nature of life. Out out brief candle!   Darkness is a reminder of evil, for it is in the darkness that people get lost, stumble and fall. It is in the darkness that power is misused, corruption reigns and evil is done. It is easy to imagine that in the end evil will triumph and the light will disappear. Situations change. Familiar landmarks -- like this magazine! -- disappear. There is the unrelenting pressure of a vanity fair society. The candle burns down and gives a thin wisp of smoke before going out.   But there are also the special party candles that keep bursting back into life. They are a much better picture of the light of the gospel! For though they have been numerous attempts down the centuries to extinguish the light, it has kept on bursting back into flame.   The light of Christ keeps on shining. New ways of sharing the good news come along. New believers are attracted to his light. Sleepy Christians are re-awakened. Fresh discoveries give even more confidence in the truth of the Bible.   The light keeps on shining in the darkness. It is a statement and a promise at the same time. It is isn't that once the light shone, but rather, that in the present it shines, and it will do so in the future as well. For the light comes from the one who is, as well as who was, and is also the one who is to come.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am your host. With robber's hands in my hospitable favors  You should not ruffle thus. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19867]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am your host. With robber's hands in my hospitable favors  You should not ruffle thus.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spread love everywhere you go: First of all in your own house... let no one ever come to you without ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23721]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spread love everywhere you go: First of all in your own house... let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.

Here St. Paul calls flesh (as does Christ in John 3) everything born of flesh, i.e. the whole human being with body and soul, reason and senses, since everything in him tends toward the flesh. That is why you should know enough to call that person "fleshly" who, without grace, fabricates, teaches and chatters about high spiritual matters. You can learn the same thing from Galatians, chapter 5, where St. Paul calls heresy and hatred works of the flesh. And in Romans, chapter 8, he says that, through the flesh, the law is weakened. He says this, not of unchastity, but of all sins, most of all of unbelief, which is the most spiritual of vices.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Progress cannot be organized. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56798]]></link><description><![CDATA[Progress cannot be organized.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it's just one of those things, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31388]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think it's just one of those things,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31388</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is hardly any personal defect which an agreeable manner might not gradually reconcile one to ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15442]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is hardly any personal defect which an agreeable manner might not gradually reconcile one to]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15442</guid></item></channel></rss>
