Rich Reading

Went to God's house on Sunday-- how sweet it was. The Major spoke on prayer, and humbling ourselves-- to cut it short. At the end of the speak he challenged every one in the congregation to kneel down and humble ourselves.
Just about every one went straight down on their knees. There was even a man up front weeping and repenting on the church's behalf. The beginning of Revival if I've ever seen one!

Then I stumbled upon their library that night...
Picked up 2 books by Samuel Logan Brengle-- good food.
Here's a little bit from his book "The Way of Holiness":

"A spark from the fire is like the fire. The tiniest twig on the giant oak, or the smallest branch of the vine, has the nature of the oak or the vine, and is in that respect like that oak or the vine. A drop of water on the end of your finger from the ocean is like the ocean: not in its size, of course, for the big ships cannot float upon it nor the big fishes swim in it; but it is like the ocean in its essence, in its character, in its nature. Just so, a holy person is like God. Not that he is infinite as God is; he does not know everything; he has not all power and wisdom as God has; but he is like God in all his nature. He is good and pure and loving and just , in the same way that God is." - Samuel Logan Brengle

This guy totally speaks my language. Rich stuff.

Deep Peace.
