They conform it or even make it into an idol after their own hearts.Mara Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385458933795539928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421420703803149726.post-37558169611402498772011-05-10T20:41:01.381-07:002011-05-10T20:41:01.381-07:00My list of favorite quotes has a new addition.

And many men have fallen to the Pharisitical seduction of wanting the best seats in the house (church and family) who push the commandments of men, calling them divine. Far too many men have fallen to this to the point that I want to call it epidemic.<br /><br />So when I see and hear the voice of men who truly are following the voice of the Shepherd and are repulsed by the commandments of men, I am blessed and encouraged and even inspired.<br /><br />Plus, I was getting so depressed looking at the words of small men I HAD to balance it out by remembering some those who are my brothers indeed.Mara Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385458933795539928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421420703803149726.post-70698616590248865822011-05-10T05:25:39.568-07:002011-05-10T05:25:39.568-07:00Wow, Mara.
