Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Under the Highest Leadership Our goal is the presence of Jesus Christ. But we cannot begin there. For there are some whose company we greatly desire, who do not yet even believe in a personal God, and they are unable at present to pursue their search for God along the definitely Christian way. Still they are seekers, and insist upon starting with us from the spot where they stand. If you do not wish to travel with us over their bit of the road, meet us later; in the meantime the rest of us will try to keep sympathetic step with our seeking friends. They ask for an elementary idea of the meaning of religion. Daily Readings First Week, First Day: What Is Religion? That they should seek God, if haply they might feel after him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us: for in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain even of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring. Being then the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and device of man. - Acts 17: 27-29. Religion is life. It is human life seeking God. It is not primarily a discussion. It is an instinct in our nature pressing beyond the visible world. This instinct for God springs from the most fundamental elements within us. It is one of the most persistent things in human history. It was not created by priests or theologians any more than flowers are created by botanists. The flower was before the botanist and religion was before the minister or the theologian. We seek God because we are what we are. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
