The Doctor is In…
The
most vital question to ask about all who claim to be Christian is this: Have
they a soul thirst for God? Do they long for this? Is there something about
them that tells you that they are always waiting for His next manifestation of
Himself? Is their life centred on Him? Can they say with Paul that they forget
everything in the past? Do they press forward more and more that they might
know Him and that the knowledge might increase, until eventually beyond death
and the grave they may bask eternally in 'the sunshine of His face?' That I
might know him!

Reminds me of this scripture Gregg:
The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. (Romans 8:16-17 ESV)
What a wonderful quotation! Thanks for posting this.
Great words from the Doctor, thanks for sharing.
Another great quote. Thank you, Gregg!
