    Everyone who calls on God the Father in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ is connected, willy-nilly, to every other Christian. We haven’t any choice about it. We are one, like it or not.

    Do you know what the Zen Buddhist said to the hot dog vendor? “Make me one with everything.” English is a remarkably flexible language. You can play wonderful games with it. “Make for me one hot dog with everything on it” is a far cry from the Buddhist ideal, which is in fact to become One with ...read more
