Readings for Sunday, October 3

October 3, 2009


I'm no safer in the company of a Christian who knows about the faith without having lived it than I am safe in the hands of a surgeon who knows about the body without ever having cut into one. In the hands of such a surgeon the scalpel might as well be a dagger. The Christian who hears but doesn't do is worse than an unskilled surgeon, though. Such a Christian does not really know himself, does not really know God, does not really know anything and can not really see the world aright. But obedience is a remedy for this sad condition.
