Mackey: receiving the word of truth

Commemoration of Gilbert of Sempringham, Founder of the Gilbertine Order, 1189
Meditation:
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
—James 1:17 (NIV)

Quotation:
The secular university is scandalized by the claims of revelation. Those who have, for whatever historical reasons, become seekers-on-principle, cannot tolerate the allegation that truth is a gift. To have to receive offends those who have determined to take.
... Louis Mackey (1926-2004)
See also Jas. 1:17; Matt. 11:25; 16:15-17; Mark 5:36; Luke 2:26; 10:21; 24:45; Phil. 4:8

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, Your people receive Your gift of truth with joy.
