"Modern Christians, especially those in the Western world, have generally been found wanting in the area of holiness of body.

We even joke about our overeating and other indulgences instead of crying out to God in confession and repentance."

-- Jerry Bridges

As such, the Absolute is easily corroded;it slips all too easily through our fingers and must be handled as carefully as a butterfly”
