Soul Survivor: before
After years of being critical, I’ve decided to take this opportunity to see Soul Survivor for myself. So tomorrow morning, nice and early, I’m off for Momentum, the new students’/twenty-somethings’ Soul Survivor week. We shall see what I think when I get back – I’m keeping an open mind. I want to think it’s good, seeing as that’s what practically all my Christian friends think. So, mind open, mouth shut – until I return.
Incidently, True Worship is a fantastic book.

That looks interesting…
And speaking of worship:
“Worship thou God in such wise that if thy worship lead thee to the fire, no alteration in thine adoration would be produced, and so likewise if thy recompense should be paradise. Thus and thus alone should be the worship which befitteth the one True God. Shouldst thou worship Him because of fear, this would be unseemly in the sanctified Court of His presence, and could not be regarded as an act by thee dedicated to the Oneness of His Being. Or if thy gaze should be on paradise, and thou shouldst worship Him while cherishing such a hope, thou wouldst make God’s creation a partner with Him, notwithstanding the fact that paradise is desired by men.” The Bab
“O people of Baha! It is incumbent upon each one of you to engage in some occupation — such as a craft, a trade or the like. We have exalted your engagement in such work to the rank of worship of the one true God. Reflect, O people, on the grace and blessings of your Lord, and yield Him thanks at eventide and dawn. Waste not your hours in idleness and sloth, but occupy yourselves with what will profit you and others.” Baha’u’llah
“Bahá’u’lláh had also in His writings given a most important place to Art, and the practice of skilled trades. He had stated that the practice of an Art or Trade in the true spirit of service was identical with the worship of God.” Abdu’l-Baha

Mr E
I thought Matt liked singing, Sheepie?

Yes, but he said he’d keep his mouth shut. Just being annoyingly pedantic.
