I do think that truth and doctrine unite believers in Christ. Ephesians 4.16 carries this sense very strongly: "I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, 2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one...

Good comment also.

"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come." (John 16.13)

You liked the word 'slippery', right? I guess with strong elements of symbolism, sometimes the meanings can be seen in various ways. But good to follow themes through, in Scripture.

There's also the fact that around the world and in history, conditions do vary very considerably.

I do think it's good to concentrate on Scripture exposition in the light of the sufficiency of Scripture.

Yes, by God's grace Christian maturity and the road to it, is via consistent, Spirit-led prayer and Bible study and consistent behaviour and Christian service.

YW; and I appreciate your various Scripture mediations.

Thanks to all who voted so far in the poll! NB: If you have not yet voted in the poll, please vote now! :)

Maybe she also did a recording of 'O Night Divine' with those really high notes at the end? :)

This is a great Psalm, 121. I do remember that it was a particular help to family members years ago.

This is an interesting point; with the world being so varied; I do think that conditions in one local church in one locality may differ markedly with those in another the other side of the world; so I'm not sure that we are presented with uniformly consistent conditions worldwide at a particular...

Philippians 4 says a lot about joy; and it's linked with the wholesome habits of prayer and thanksgiving. 1 Thess. 5 also says something similar. :)

@Heart2Soul I thought you would like that photo, anyway: combination of the angel wings / triquetra (I think this is what it's called, anyhow) symbolizing the Trinity. From what you've said, they both seem to represent rather deeply your aspirations. Your daughters would probably be a little...

The Scriptures with prayer as led by the Spirit, seeking the glory of Christ: these are ideal conditions for Bible study; and the encouragement of other believers is important also. :)

A great book to study, indeed...

True!

LOL... :)
