The Idolatry of Ideas...

"Until the love of God that knows no boundary, limit, or breaking point is internalized through personal decision; until the furious longing of God seizes the imagination; until the heart is conjoined with the mind through sheer grace - nothing happens.  The idolatry of ideas has left me puffed up, narrow minded, and intolerant of any ideas that do not coincide with mine."

"Anyone who claims to know all the answers doesn't really know very much.  But the person who loves has full knowledge" 1 Cor 8:2-3

A Question

I dare you to ask yourself this question. And then ask yourself again tomorrow and then again the next day...

"Am I responding to the love of Jesus living within me concretely and consistently in my love for others?"
