Doctrines are not God: they are only a kind of map. But that map is based on the experience of hundreds of people who really were in touch with God. —C. S. Lewis in Mere Christianity
Romans 15:4 (NLT2) Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us. And the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement as we wait patiently for God’s promises to be fulfilled.
