Knowledge and Knowledge

There is, therefore, knowledge and knowledge —knowledge that resteth in the bare speculation of things, and knowledge that is accompanied with the grace of faith and love, which puts a man upon doing even the will of God from the heart: the first of these will serve the talker; but without the other, the true Christian is not content.

“Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart”

Psalm 119:34

Taken from John Bunyan’s The Pilgrim’s Progress. Faithful’s Discourse With Talkative.

 

Who Do You Have?

He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.

— Jim Elliot

Life with Pleasure is too silly to be of colossal importance.

Life with God is too important to be of colossal silliness.

When you stop breathing,

When your body fails you,

When Death has swept you away,

the question at hand wouldn’t be

Where will you go? or What next?

In the end, every human being would have to face the reality of life beyond Earth.

In the end, there will be no room for reasons or excuses.

In the end, the condition of Life will be measured by the absence or presence of a Person.

It is by these truths that I ask all of us the Question.

Who do you have with you?
