Quote from Delphi

I mention the delphites from time to time. Those are folks who, like myself, visit Delphi Forums. I go to several forums on the site – three related to the ICoC and ten related to sports board games.

From one of the ICoC forums, a poster identified as Bruford1 says the following:

There is a world of difference between people who love God, and people who love church.

This is listed as one of the lessons he learned from his time in the ICoC. I wish I had thought of that. I agree with it as a standalone statement. It seems to be true from my experience with the 700 Club, ICoC, and other groups.

In case you were wondering, my list was

  • Those that pretend to speak for God do more damage than those that reject God.
  • Power Corrupts. Power still corrupts. Nice power corrupts nicely.
  • God is bigger than I can imagine. He will not be put into a box.
  • My life is mine, even as a Christian. He gave it back to me because He trusts me.
  • Follow the money.
  • Out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks.
  • All politics is local.

It’s an incomplete list. I should also have added the two things from a previous post about the good of the ICoC.
