Holy places are dark places. It is life & strength, not knowledge and words, that we get in them. Holy wisdom is not clear and thin like water, but thick and dark, like blood.
@JeremyBakker37 Yep. I appreciate the maturity of mind and temper the Lord has been pleased to grant. There were, to be sure, graces associated with the youth and vigor of the twenties, but I find a lot of contentment with the years.
I especially take much joy in my granddaughter.
Tomorrow is the Lord’s Day!
Let us gather in the local church, in the assembly of the saints, that we might with one voice praise God in our Lord Christ!
May you be extraordinarily blessed as you attend to the ordinary means of grace.
Peace be with you, in Christ.
Too many Christians make it sound like you'd starve to death without the local restaurant serving enchiladas on Sunday. Let the waitress go to church. Help dads choose Divine service with fam instead of golf. Bring back national Sabbath observance. We used to be a proper nation!
@apologistlayman And now, may the God of all comfort fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that by the power of the Holy Ghost you may abound in hope.
Peace be with you, brother.
Echoes of Aquinas here in Van Mastricht.
“All the attributes together in God are nothing but one certain most simple and most pure act, his very essence, and his infinite perfection.” (1.2.5, The Attributes of God in General)
