Me:  How are you doing Prodigal?

Prodigal:  I feel like I was born tired and suffered a relapse.

Me:  Week has been that long?

Prodigal:  Yep, so go ahead and do your part, while I listen.

This is from Pandita Ramabia an Indian Christian Missonary

 

While the old Hindu Scriptures had given us some beautiful precepts of loving, the new dispensation of Christ has given us grace to carry these principles into practice, and that makes all the difference in the world.  The precepts are like an engine on a track, beautiful and with great possibility.  Christ and His Gospel are the steam, the motor power that can make the engine move.

 

Jesus makes the difference between  real relationship with the Lord and just religion that is based on rituals.

 

Jeremiah 31:35

Thus says the Lord, who gives the sun for light by day and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar. The Lord of hosts is his name.
