Line In The Sand Church

For those that do not know. St. John (wrote the Book of John), and He discipled Polycarp–

Polycarp and Clement of Rome are considered Apostolic Fathers of the earliest Church.

And, it is this Clement of Rome who said off of the heels of comparing all of the ordinances of God such as: the laws governing Day and Night, the stars, the fixed boundaries of the earth, and the roaring of the oceans–––then, said this,

"It is right therefore that we should not leave the post which His will has assigned us."

Comparatively, Gods laws govern the natural world; And, we too, should stand guard (not leaving our post)and ensure no night should creep into the crevices of our hearts; no wandering star should cause us to deviate off-course; And, no roaring wave and thought should cross the shoreline.

Man your post. Guard your heart. Take captive your thoughts. Because to not do so is unnatural. You are a solider in the army of God! To slumber, to weary, and to sleep is to be dishonorably discharged.

“We discovered logic first and then came to know God through it. This is true even if we came to know God through his revelation, because we understood the revelation through logic. In the order of being, God is first; but in the order of knowing, logic leads us to all knowledge of God.”
