Consider This
Mar 22nd, 2008 by John
I’m reading Bishop Kallistos Ware’s The Orthodox Way (rev. ed. St Vladimir’s Seminary Press: 1998).
Ponder this:
“God alone is noun; all created things are adjectives.” (page 45)

I was reading Ware this semester for some light reading on Orthodox theology when I had spare time this past semester, and I thought he was incredibly perceptive as to the things of God. I particularly like all of his thoughts on the mystery of God.
Excellent post brother.
I hope you and your family have a wonderful Easter!
A most blessed Easter to you and yours, John! The Lord makes all things new! Praise God!
Danny,
I asked Scot McKnight who would be good to read about the Orthodox church. Without hesitation he suggested Bishop Kallistos Ware.
Kinney (Preacherman),
Yes, brother!
HE IS RISEN.
HE IS RISEN, INDEED!!
Ted,
We serve the One who declared, “Behold, I am making ALL THINGS new!” What a privilege. God bless you!!
