We're just a tiny microcosm that reflects the greater whole.<BR/><BR/>The really difficult part is, calling the spade a spade, so to speak. Being honest is where we need to start (which is basically just the idea of the word "confession") to fix these things.<BR/><BR/>-markclumsy oxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11698216739528209499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083552635566549294.post-67475255179454710982007-02-11T08:20:00.000-08:002007-02-11T08:20:00.000-08:00The idolatry of experiences and people is certainl...The idolatry of experiences and people is certainly not limited to the Brethren circles.

Instead of waiting for word from the mountain, we look around for something more convenient, to "tide us over".<br /><br />And it's easier to read a commentary than to spend the sweat and tears and pure teeth-gritting <i>time</i> digging it out of Scripture for yourself...I get that, sadly.Shanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10704810407872873565noreply@blogger.com
