Browsing through some of the threads I have found some beautiful things that were said, and I didn’t want them to get ignored.
I was also motivated for this thread by .:Shine:., who in his thread seemed a bit lost:

And a call for all: please contribute to this thread. It would be pity for such beautiful things to get lost in plenty of less significant text. Thank you.
My sincere congratulations for those who took their time and most importantly the will to be both beautiful (in their thoughts) and wise.
Wow!

Well-being a 'Christian' is illogical and foolishness to the world-at least that's what my Bible says. Being a Christian is not practical or convenient; quite the opposite.
The simplicity of the Gospel is overshadowed by the complexity of our own 'vain imaginations'
We have fallen into the trap of trying to grow by eating of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thinking our understanding is what needs improvement, when it our heart that is the area that improvement must be made in. We want to make it a scientific fact and the truth is, faith will never be obtained when we finally dissect and mentally understand the word of God. If that was the case, Peter would still be studying the laws of physics to figure out how it is possible to walk on water, wouldn't he? The early disciples, we are told, were simple and unlearned men for the most part, and yet they still turned the entire known world upside down in one generation.
I'm happy to admit I belong to the alumni of the University of the Holy Spirit in the Desert (but still go back for continuing education) along with such esteemed graduates as Peter, John, James, Paul, just to name a few.
Wow!
