“I would warn against too much of a radical devotion to rationality. Rationality is an illusion, an invented concept, a construct from the mind of man. It is not a property of the universe. Rationality may be a useful tool when it suits our purposes, however, it is merely a measuring stick, calibrated against what we know of the nature of the universe - all of which may or may not be completely inaccurate.” KnowsMenLifeMindMayPurposeUniverseToo MuchIllusionConceptsToolsPropertySticksDevotionSuitsRadicalRationalityConstructsMeasuring Author:Derek R.

“Devotion signifies a life given, or devoted, to God. He therefore is the devout man, who lives no longer to his own will, or the way and spirit of the world, but to the sole will of God, who considers God in everything, who serves God in everything, who makes all the parts of his common life, parts of piety, by doing everything in the name of God, and under such rules as are conformable to His glory.” MenWorldWayLifeSpiritNamesGivenCommonGloryDevotionGods WillSoleDevotedServing GodPietyCommon Life Book:A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life ; The Spirit of Love Source: A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life ; The Spirit of Love
