Some people think as they speak, but I think as I write. This blog exists with the intention of helping me to improve my communication, writing & thinking skills. So here we are, hopefully keeping it real, nothing too pretentious, just my verbalised thoughts and musings living in light of 'that happy certainty'.

Grace and truth, always grace and truth...
I think it was Richard Baxter who said...
In essentials unity, in non-essentialsliberty, inallthingscharity.
One exam to go. New Testament Greek. They said Rome wasn't built in a day. Thankfully they didn't say that Greek couldn't be learnt in a day. Elpis is Greek for hope.

And you know what, that's just peachy. Wasn't it Augustine who said:
"By faithfulness we are collected and wound up into unity within ourselves, whereas we had been scattered abroad in multiplicity"?
And I believe it was Tozer who said:
"One hundred religious persons knit into a unity by careful organizations do not constitute a church any more than eleven dead men make a football team. The first requisite is life, always."
So what was the point you were making? Something about essentials? Something about unity? Maybe you weren't making a point. I don't know, you just got me thinking.
