Signs of the Times

with contributions from W. H. Bourne, Donald H. Andrews, Stephen E. Nordlinger

From an article in The Times London, England

"Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."... What a man cares for most, that he is. He becomes conformed to the likeness of his God . All the commandments, therefore, are contained in the first and great commandment— to love God with the whole heart and mind and soul and strength. To love the true God means, it has been well said, to submit to reality in its ultimate form. Idolatry is the worship of what is unreal, and that cannot but lead to failure and disaster.

Indeed the dynamic of the Christian ethic is the challenge of unalterable perfection—to be perfect even as God is perfect.
