So the Christian who needs only the Scriptures and a little quiet time will have what that he needs. And the Christian who needs the teacher and the grand Cathedral will have what he needs. And even the huddled Christians worshiping in small groups in secret in a Communist country with not a scrap of Scripture among them will have what they need.

Oh so beautifully said, dearest sister in Christ!

And this from Dr. Eckleburg bears repeating:

And how do men show their love to God? By obeying Him and worshiping Him in truth and love.

If that is done, everything else falls into place.

But if we worship something other than the Triune God and swear allegiance to part of the creation instead of the only Creator, we can never be right with God because that skewed trajectory is only taking us ever farther from Him.

I'd further add: Absent God, we cannot even be right with ourselves. As Benedict says, "Without God man neither knows which way to go, nor even understands who he is."

Thank you so very much, dearest sisters in Christ!

So very true.

Thank you oh so very much for sharing your insights, dearest sister in Christ, and thank you for your encouragements!

Thank you so very much, dearest sisters in Christ!

Thank YOU betty, but I thought that you had figured out by now that I'm not a sister, Galatians 3:28 notwithstanding.

:-P

Cheers!
