The one I got from experience I carry in my eye. <br /><br />Yes, Roger, disciple is right. I'm happy to be hanging around the fringes of such a mighty company.mushroomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07651027035577798096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5133335371844144872.post-91098122064271971382014-11-04T07:48:50.637-06:002014-11-04T07:48:50.637-06:00MacDonald said, "If any man will do, he will ...MacDonald said, "If any man will do, he will know". <br />Glad to find another MacDonald disciple ("fan" is too gauche a term when talking about MacDonald). I knew there was good reason why I liked you.

Only when we operate in accordance with and obedience to whatever revelation we have will more be given to us. It is only in doing God’s will and desiring to do His will that we have understanding. We can know and recite all the doctrines of the Church, but this form of knowledge leads only to guilt and condemnation or spiritual pride and self-righteousness. We must live the truth."<br /><br />Big aye! I like maps n' charts too. And while they are helpful, whether horizontally or spiritually, or both, there's nothin' like experience.<br /><br />And the only way to get experience is by doing, being, and actually following the course on the map/chart to the points and places God suggests we go.<br /><br />Sometimes that means navigating rough seas, perhaps in a storm, and sometimes in fair weather. <br />Be it in the bewilderness of sea, air or land we must go to fullfill our destiny.<br /><br />If we crash or run aground, or get sidetracked the holy Spirit always supplies us with a compass that works on faith. <br />When we trust in the Cap'n we will get there, time n' eternity again, no matter how dangerous or foreboding the weather might be.<br />USS Ben USN (Ret)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07492369604790651538noreply@blogger.com
