TEXT: "Self-love is more opaque than a solid body. In patient obedience to a patient God, let us labor to dissolve with the universal solvent of Love the adamant of error, — self-will, self-justification, and self-love, which wars against spirituality and is the law of sin and death." (S&H)
DISCUSSION:
This familiar text bears a deep-dive, don't you think?
1. "Self-love is more opaque than a solid body." - Share an example from your own experience.
2. "In patient obedience to a patient God," - Why might this be included here?
3. "let us labor to dissolve with the universal solvent of Love the adamant of error" - What's this "labor" all about? I thought we just need to realize! Can you find a correlative in the Bible?
