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[It is safe to say that no other superstition is so detrimental to growth, so enervating and paralyzing to the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58352]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is safe to say that no other superstition is so detrimental to growth, so enervating and paralyzing to the minds and hearts of the people, as the superstition of Morality]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are making changes that will increase the opportunity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31975]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are making changes that will increase the opportunity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31975</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A sky full of silent suns. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56519]]></link><description><![CDATA[A sky full of silent suns.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the stock to stabilize, investors have to get their hands on the seriousness of the regulatory issues. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33124]]></link><description><![CDATA[For the stock to stabilize, investors have to get their hands on the seriousness of the regulatory issues.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the greatest disservices you can do a man is to lend him money that he can't pay back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11505]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the greatest disservices you can do a man is to lend him money that he can't pay back.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We returned all of our starters from last year.

When I was a child, bishops expressed doubts about the Resurrection, and were called courageous. When I was a girl, G. K. Chesterton professed belief in the Resurrection, and was called whimsical. When I was at college, thoughtful people expressed belief in the Resurrection "in a spiritual sense", and were called advanced; (any other kind of belief was called obsolete, and its professors were held to be simpleminded). When I was middle-aged, a number of lay persons, including some poets and writers of popular fiction, put forward rational arguments for the Resurrection, and were called courageous. Today, any lay apologist for Christianity... whose works are sold and read, is liable to be abused in no uncertain terms as a mountebank, a reactionary, a tool of the Inquisition, a spiritual snob, an intellectual bully, an escapist, an obstructionist, a psychopathic introvert, an insensitive extrovert, and an enemy of society. The charges are not always mutually compatible, but the common animus behind them is unmistakable, and its name is fear. Writers who attack these domineering Christians are called courageous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternative. -Maurice Chevalier. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1811]]></link><description><![CDATA[Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternative. -Maurice Chevalier.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36292]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life itself is the most wonderful fairy tale.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36292</guid></item></channel></rss>
