For a millisecond, let’s put down our disputes and magnify the Lord.
May we be so scattered in our conceits that we become lowly. And when we are lowly, let us rejoice that He lifts us up.
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised. There is no end to His greatness!
And, Lord, if we may dare to contradict the words of the Psalmist, prosper not our handiwork, but yours in us, who without you are nothing but in you may one day see the joy and peace and end of every longing heart.

AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!

I hadn’t been following the whole Mother Theresa thing on the thread since I did not think it was a profitable line of discussion for anyone. When one starts to introduce persons and personalities into a dispute about Christian doctrine, objectivity is immediately lost ... and man’s ugly nature will soon make itself known in the exchange. In other words, it not only matters who and what is right, but also how one goes about establishing right.
So, let’s put down our silly, superfluous, superficial, sinful disputes and magnify the Lord. But understand well that the Lord is best and most sincerely magnified when His word and will reign supreme and we acknowledge it.
