"Reading Oswald Chambers, yesterday, he writes, "Spiritual muddle is only made plain by obedience. Immediately we obey, we discern." Seems awfully close to Ransom's credo, "developing discernment, deepening discipleship." Sometimes I put it this way: moral commitment precedes epistemological insight. We always do live out of our hearts: we see and hear and feel out of our hearts." -Steven Garber

I appreciate your sharing these thoughts by Garber, Jenny. Sadly, all too often I live as if I'll be able to obey God more if only I know more (epistemology preceding obedience). Thanks for reminding me the truth that I always live out of the affections of my heart, whatever they may be at the moment. O, that the grace of God in Christ would draw my affections toward Him in greater measure, spurring me on to greater obedience and experiencing joy in Him!
