“It has been said that when we pray, we speak to God; when we read, He speaks to us. Keeping this in mind, look for more in good books than entertainment. You will find in these books much that applies to you, and even in good novels, you will find many points that can help you become a finer person and a better Christian.”
― William A. Carroll

John was well aware the #fellowship he enjoyed with #God was not established by his own #merit or #virtue, but came as a result of the #love #God displayed to all in #Christ.

Yet John also had a warning for Christians: if Christians say they have fellowship with God yet persist in #sin, they lie and do not practice the truth.

Practical #spirituality is not rituals, nor is it texts—it is an inner #experience. Because we in the #West know so little about it, we must be careful to protect ourselves from impostors and safeguard our spiritual education from ideological abuse.

However, because practical spirituality also includes an attitude toward others and the world that is characterized by #humility, gentleness, #virtue, and a sense of responsibility, impostors are easy to unmask when viewed objectively.

   Cities and men alike, that deeds of ill
   Find evil ends, and virtue prosper still.

   ἰδίᾳ θ᾽ ἑκάστῳ καὶ πόλει, τὸν μὲν κακὸν
   κακόν τι πάσχειν, τὸν δὲ χρηστὸν εὐτυχεῖν.]

A quotation from Addison

Good-nature is more agreeable in conversation than wit, and gives a certain air to the countenance which is more amiable than beauty. It shows virtue in the fairest light, takes off in some measure from the deformity of vice, and makes even folly and impertinence supportable.

Joseph Addison (1672-1719) English essayist, poet, statesman
Essay (1711-09-13), The Spectator, No. 169
