The sum of what we become in Christianity is built on many many teachings from the Lord.  He can teach us in a heartbeat what it would take volumes of words to explain.  We write to one another to try to describe what we have experienced.  But the teaching and the sum of what we become, comes from a life lived in subjection to the sovereign God of life.

Read if you will.  Perhaps there is some great benefit to be had by the experiences of others.  But no man can teach you in 10 years what the Lord can teach you in a millisecond.

By His Grace
