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://maxioms.com/maxiom/6316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world is bad but not without hope.

His agony was His entrance into the last, eternal terrors of the lost soul, into the real horrors of that dreadful, eternal death which man unredeemed must have died into when he left this world. We are therefore not to consider our Lord's death upon the Cross as only the death of that mortal body which was nailed to it, but we are to look upon Him with wounded hearts, as being fixed and fastened in the state of that twofold death, which was due to the fallen nature, out of which He could not come till He could say, "It is finished; Father, into Thy hands I commend my spirit.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7067</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The religious superstition is encouraged by means of the institution of churches, processions, monuments, festivities....The so-called clergy stupefy the masses....They ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58351]]></link><description><![CDATA[The religious superstition is encouraged by means of the institution of churches, processions, monuments, festivities....The so-called clergy stupefy the masses....They befog the people and keep them in an eternal condition of stupefaction]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58351</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Smiling always with a never fading serenity of countenance, and flourishing in an immortal youth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62557]]></link><description><![CDATA[Smiling always with a never fading serenity of countenance, and flourishing in an immortal youth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There can be no happiness equal to the joy of finding a heart that understands. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2150]]></link><description><![CDATA[There can be no happiness equal to the joy of finding a heart that understands.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2150</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A myth is the name of a terrible lie told by a smelly little brown person to a man in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33127]]></link><description><![CDATA[A myth is the name of a terrible lie told by a smelly little brown person to a man in a white suit with a pair of binoculars.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Friends will keep you sane, Love could fill your heart, A lover can warm your bed, But lonely is the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27785]]></link><description><![CDATA[Friends will keep you sane, Love could fill your heart, A lover can warm your bed, But lonely is the soul without a mate.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27785</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I question not if thrushes sing, If roses load the air;  Beyond my heart I need not reach  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58256]]></link><description><![CDATA[I question not if thrushes sing, If roses load the air;  Beyond my heart I need not reach   When all is summer there.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58256</guid></item></channel></rss>
