Commemoration of Remigius, Bishop of Rheims, Apostle of the Franks, 533
Commemoration of Thérèse of Lisieux, Carmelite Nun, Spiritual Writer, 1897

To die of love, O martyrdom most blest!
For this I long, this is my heart’s desire;
My exile ends; I soon will be at rest.
Ye Cherubim, lend, lend to me your lyre!
O dart of Seraphim, O flame of love,
Consume me wholly; hear my ardent cry!
Jesu, make real my dream! Come Holy Dove!
Of love I die!

Friday, October 5, 2018

The Old-Testament doctrine of salvation gives us no encouragement, on strictly hermeneutical grounds, to argue from what was true politically of Israel to what could or should be true of any modern political state. Even if we were first to grant the presence of a “Christendom” situation in which Church and State would be virtually coextensive, the nation of Israel would still remain [unique]. The focus of salvation is on the historical action of God in forming a people for Himself, and there is no indication anywhere in the Bible that God promises political salvation even inside the context of the full salvation of His people, let alone outside it.
... Michael Sadgrove (b. 1950) & N. T. Wright (b. 1948), “Jesus Christ the Only Saviour”, in The Lord Christ [1980], John Stott, ed., vol. 1 of Obeying Christ in a Changing World, John Stott, gen. ed., 3 vol., London: Fountain, 1977, p. 66 (see the book; see also Matt. 24:1-2; 1 Kings 9:6-8; Jer. 26:18; Eze. 7:20-22; Dan. 9:27; Mic. 3:12; Luke 19:41-44; 2 Pet. 3:10-11; more at Argument, Church, Historical, Israel, Nation, Providence, Salvation)

Feast of William Tyndale, Translator of the Scriptures, Martyr, 1536

Now go to, reader, and according to the order of Paul’s writing [in Romans], even so do thou. First behold thyself diligently in the law of God, and see there thy just damnation. Secondarily, turn thine eyes to Christ, and see there the exceeding mercy of thy most kind and loving Father. Thirdly, remember that Christ made not this atonement that thou shouldest anger God again; neither died he for thy sins, that thou shouldest live still in them; neither cleansed he thee, that thou shouldest return, as a swine, unto thine old puddle again: but that thou shouldest be a new creature and live a new life after the will of God, and not of the flesh. And be diligent, lest through thine own negligence and unthankfulness thou lose this favor and mercy again.

Tuesday, October 9, 2018
Commemoration of Denys, Bishop of Paris, & his Companions, Martyrs, 258
Commemoration of Robert Grosseteste, Bishop of Lincoln, Philosopher, Scientist, 1253

In a natural fear of lowering the Divine dignity of Christ, we often forget His true humanity. We think of His earthly life as moving on a plane so different from ours that no parallel can be drawn between them... What we forget is, that He too needed to walk by faith, needed to be filled with the Holy Spirit, ... needed the sympathy of loving friends, needed the strengthening that is gained in private prayer. His strong and beautiful, serene and holy life so fills the eye that we lose sight of His secret intercourse with the Father, out of which came all its beauty, all its power.
... G. H. Knight (1835-1917), In the Secret of His Presence, Rock Island, Ill.: Augustana Book Concern, 1934, p. 44-45 (see the book; see also Luke 4:14; Matt. 14:23; 26:36-45; Mark 6:46; Luke 4:1; 6:12; John 15:15; 2 Cor. 5:7; Eph. 5:18; Heb. 4:15; more at Christ, Faith, Holiness, Holy Spirit, Jesus, Power, Prayer)

 
Wednesday, October 10, 2018
Feast of Paulinus, Bishop of York, Missionary, 644

Where would you be if God took away all your Christian work? Too often it is our Christian work that is worshiped and not God.

Thursday, October 11, 2018
Commemoration of Ethelburga, Abbess of Barking, 675

It is not necessary to maintain a conversation when we are in the presence of God. We can come into His presence and rest our weary souls in quiet contemplation of Him. Our groanings, which cannot be uttered, rise to Him and tell Him better than words how dependent we are upon Him.
... O. Hallesby (1879-1961), Prayer, London: Inter-Varsity Fellowship, 1943, reprint, Augsburg Fortress Books, 1975, 1994, p. 148 (see the book; see also Rom. 8:26-27; Ps. 1:1-2; 10:17; 37:7; 46:10; 62:1,5; 88:1-3; 104:34; 119:11,15,81,97-99; 2 Cor. 5:2-4; Gal. 4:6; Eph. 2:18; more at Holy Spirit, Intercession, Prayer, Presence of God, Soul, Weary)

 
Friday, October 12, 2018
Commemoration of Wilfrid, Abbot of Ripon, Bishop of York, Missionary, 709
Commemoration of Elizabeth Fry, Prison Reformer, 1845

While many Americans are still firmly committed to the traditional, supernatural conceptions of a personal God, a Divine Savior, and the promise of eternal life, the trend is away from these convictions... The fact is that a demythologized modernism is overwhelming the traditional Christ-centered, mystical faith... For the modern skeptics are not the apostates, village atheists, or political revolutionaries of old. The leaders of today’s challenge to traditional beliefs are principally theologians—those in whose care the church entrusts its sacred teachings.
... Rodney Stark (b. 1934) & Charles Glock (1919-2018), in Trans-action: social science and modern society, v. 5-6, Washington University, St. Louis, Mo., Washington University, 1967, p. 7-8 (see the book; see also Luke 6:39-40; Isa. 9:16; 56:10; Matt. 7:15; 15:14; Mark 13:21,22; Luke 21:8; Acts 20:29-30; 1 Tim. 6:3-5; 2 Tim. 3:12-13; 4:1-4; 2 Pet. 2:1-3; 1 John 4:2-3; more at Authenticity, Christ, Church, Eternal life, Promise, Savior, Skeptic, Theology)

 
Saturday, October 13, 2018
Feast of Edward the Confessor, 1066

One mustn’t make the Christian life into a punctilious system of law, like the Jewish [for] two reasons. (1) It raises scruples when we don’t keep the routine. (2) It raises presumption when we do. Nothing gives one a more spuriously good conscience than keeping rules, even if there has been a total absence of all real charity and faith.
... C. S. Lewis (1898-1963), Letters to an American Lady, Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing, 1986, p. 38 (see the book; see also Rom. 4:13; John 6:36; Rom. 1:17; 8:1-2; 2 Cor. 3:6; 5:7; Gal. 2:20; 3:11; 1 John 1:1; more at Charity, Conscience, Faith, Legalism, Rule, Spiritual life)

 
Sunday, October 14, 2018

Our Adversary majors in three things: noise, hurry and crowds. If he can keep us engaged in “muchness” and “manyness,” he will rest satisfied.
... Richard J. Foster (b. 1942), Celebration of Discipline: the path to spiritual growth [1978], San Francisco: Harper, 2003, p. 15 (see the book; see also Matt. 13:22; 6:24-25; Mark 10:23-25; Luke 12:16-21,29-31; 21:34; 1 Tim. 6:9-10; 1 John 2:15-16; more at Crowd, Discord, Satan, Temptation, Weakness)

Our body has this defect that, the more it is provided care and comforts, the more needs and desires it finds.

Commemoration of the Oxford Martyrs, Hugh Latimer, Nicolas Ridley, and Thomas Cranmer, bishops and martyrs, 1555

Thee, Lord, before the close of day,
Maker of all things, Thee we pray
for Thy dear loving kindness’ sake
to guard and guide us in Thy way.
 
Banish the dreams that terrify,
and night’s fantastic company;
keep us from Satan’s tyranny;
defend us from unchastity.
 
Protect us, Father, God ador’d,
Thou, too, coequal Son and Lord,
Thou, Holy Ghost, our Advocate,
whose reign can know nor bound nor date.
... St. Ambrose of Milan (Aurelius Ambrosius) (339-397), hymn for compline, Roman Breviary, 8th century, attrib.

Feast of Henry Martyn, Translator of the Scriptures, Missionary in India & Persia, 1812

Relieve and comfort all the persecuted and afflicted; speak peace to troubled consciences; strengthen the weak, confirm the strong; instruct the ignorant; deliver the oppressed from him that spoileth him, and relieve the needy that hath no helper; and bring us all by the waters of comfort, and in the ways of righteousness, to the kingdom of rest and glory, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
... Jeremy Taylor (1613-1667), Holy Living [1650], in The Whole Works of the Right Rev. Jeremy Taylor, D.D., v.

Saturday, October 20, 2018

The social gospel is not an addendum to the gospel; it is the gospel. If we read the Gospels, it becomes clear that it was not what Jesus said about God that got him into trouble [but] his treatment of men and women, his way of being friendly with outcasts with whom no respectable Jew would have anything to do. It has always been fairly safe to talk about God; it is when we start to talk about men that the trouble starts. And yet the fact remains that there is no conceivable way of proving that we love God other than by loving men. And there is no conceivable way of proving that we love men other than by doing something for those who most need help.
... William Barclay (1907-1978), Ethics in a Permissive Society, New York: Harper & Row, 1971, Fontana, 1971, p. 193 (see the book; see also Matt. 9:10-13; 11:16-19; Luke 5:29-32; 15:1-2; 19:7; 1 Cor. 5:9-11; 1 Tim. 1:13-16; more at Charity, Friendliness, God, Gospel, Love, Man, Proof, Social)

 
Sunday, October 21, 2018

The doctrine of the blessed Trinity is a reminder of the supernaturalness of biblical Christianity. The doctrine defies rationalization, yet it provides for the believer the answer to the unity and diversity of the world.
... Robert P. Lightner (1931-2018), The God of the Bible [1973], Grand Rapids, MI: Baker Book House, 1978, formerly published as The First Fundamental: God, p. 69 (see the book; see also 1 Pet. 1:1-2; Isa. 11:1-2; Matt. 28:19; John 14:16-17; 15:26; Acts 2:33; 2 Cor. 1:21-22; 13:14; Gal. 4:4-6; 1 Tim. 3:16; Tit. 3:4-7; Heb. 9:14; 1 John 5:6; more at Simplicity, Trinity, Unity, World)

 
Monday, October 22, 2018

The trouble with nearly everybody who prays is that he says “Amen” and runs away before God has a chance to reply. Listening to God is far more important than giving Him your ideas.
... Frank C. Laubach (1884-1970), in Frank C. Laubach, Teacher of Millions, David E. Mason, Minneapolis: T. S. Denison & Co., 1967, p. 120 (see also Ps. 85:8; 119:98; Hab. 2:1; Heb. 12:25; Matt. 17:5; Eph. 2:17; more at God, Listening, Prayer)

 
Tuesday, October 23, 2018

Who seeks for heaven alone to save his soul,
May keep the path, but will not reach the goal;
While he who walks in love may wander far,
But God will bring him where the Blessed are.

Wednesday, October 24, 2018

Christ came... in a purpose, ... to manifest himself in the Christian Religion, to all the nations of the world; and therefore, says David, The Lord reigneth, let the island rejoice—the island who by reason of their situation, provision, and trading, have most means of conveying Christ Jesus over the world. He hath carried us up to heaven, and set us at the right hand of God, and shall not we endeavour to carry him to those nations, who have not yet heard of his name? Shall we still brag that we have brought our clothes, and our hatchets, and our knives, and bread to this and this value and estimation amongst those poor ignorant Souls, and shall we never glory that we have brought the name, and Religion of Christ Jesus in estimation amongst them? Shall we stay till other nations have planted a false Christ among them? And then either continue in our sloth, or take more pains in rooting out a false Christ than would have planted the true?
... John Donne (1573-1631), Works of John Donne, vol. V, London: John W. Parker, 1839, Sermon CXLV, p. 592 (see the book; see also Ps. 97:1-12; 96; Luke 24:46,47; 1 John 1:2; 1 Tim. 1:15; more at Christ, Glory, Jesus, Mission, Nation, Religion, Truth)

 
Thursday, October 25, 2018
Commemoration of Crispin & Crispinian, Martyrs at Rome, c.285

If I slip into the place that can be filled by Christ alone, making myself the first necessity to a soul instead of leading it to fasten upon Him, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
... Amy Carmichael (1867-1951), If [1938], London: SPCK, 1961, p. 58 (see the book; see also Matt. 6:33; 16:24-26; Mark 8:36; Luke 9:25; Gal. 2:20; 5:12; Rev. 17:14; more at Calvary, Christ, Leader, Love, Soul, Weakness)

 
Friday, October 26, 2018
Feast of Alfred the Great, King of the West Saxons, Scholar, 899
Commemoration of Cedd, Founding Abbot of Lastingham, Bishop of the East Saxons, 664

All the revelations of God, as well as the laws of men, go upon this presumption, that men are not stark fools; but that they will consider their interest, and have some regard to the great concernment of their eternal salvation. And this is as much to secure men from mistake in matters of belief, as God hath afforded to keep men from sin in matters of practice. He hath made no effectual and infallible provision that men shall not sin; and yet it would puzzle any man to give a good reason, why God should take more care to secure men against errors in belief, than against sin and wickedness in their lives.
... John Tillotson (1630-1694), Works of Dr. John Tillotson, v. II, London: J. F. Dove, for R.

Saturday, October 27, 2018

[As from David:] Did not I, through faith, conquer kingdoms, apply justice, obtain promises, stop the mouths of lions, put out raging fires, escape the edge of the sword, win strength out of weakness, become valiant in war, and put foreign armies to flight?
Was I not a man of faith and a man of action in one skin? Why are the faithful so afraid of deeds, for fear they should fall into ‘justification by works’? And why is Thy Church so uncomfortable with its men of action? And why do men of spirit so often have to work apart from, and even against it? Are there no longer kingdoms to be conquered, injustice to be destroyed, promises to be obtained?
The Son of David is a warrior still. Must He tread the winepress alone?
... David Head, Shout for Joy, New York: MacMillan Co., 1962, p. 58 (see the book; see also John 15:8; Isa. 63:1-5; Matt.26:31; Mark 14:50; Heb. 11:32-34; more at Action, Church, Faith, Fear, Jesus, Justice, Man, Promise, Providence)

 
Sunday, October 28, 2018
Feast of Simon & Jude, Apostles

Some natures will endure an immense amount of misery before they feel compelled to look there for help whence all help and healing comes. They cannot believe that there is verily an unseen, mysterious power, till the world and all that is in it has vanished in the smoke of despair; till cause and effect is nothing to the intellect, and possible glories have faded from the imagination; then, deprived of all that made life pleasant or hopeful, the immortal essence, lonely and wretched and unable to cease, looks up with its now unfettered and wakened instinct to the source of its own life—to the possible God who, notwithstanding all the improbabilities of His existence, may yet perhaps be, and may yet perhaps hear His wretched creature that calls. In this loneliness of despair, life must find The Life: for joy is gone, and life is all that is left; it is compelled to seek its source, its root, its eternal life. This alone remains a possible thing. Strange condition of despair into which the Spirit of God drives a man—a condition in which the Best alone is the Possible!
... George MacDonald (1824-1905), David Elginbrod, vol. 2 [1863], Bernhard Tauchnitz, 1871, p. 155-156 (see the book; see also 2 Cor. 4:8-9; Ps. 12:1-2; 13; 46:1-3; 121:1-2; 130:1-4; Matt. 6:31-34; 2 Cor. 1:8-10; Phil. 4:11-13; more at Despair, Eternal life, God, Joy, Life, Loneliness, Spirit, Weakness)

Commemoration of Martin Luther, Teacher, Reformer, 1546

All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard, and will receive what they have asked and desired, although not in the hour or in the measure, or the very thing which they ask; yet they will obtain something greater and more glorious than they had dared to ask.
... Martin Luther (1483-1546), Watchwords for the Warfare of Life, Elizabeth Rundle Charles, ed., New York: M. W.

Wednesday, October 31, 2018
Reformation Day

Because it lacks [the] element of outrage, the modern church needs to be reminded that, if her life and institutions are being strangled by a dying culture, then she is choking on the very truths which she has herself betrayed.
... Os Guinness (b. 1941), The Dust of Death, Leicester: Inter-Varsity Press, 1973, p. 386-387 (see the book; see also 1 Cor. 2:7-8; Matt. 11:25; John 7:48; 1 Cor. 1:26-28; 2:6; more at Betrayal, Church, Culture, Truth)
