Many of our Church Ancestors Truly Knew Best

The fool says in his heart that there is no God (Ps 53:1a). The heart of a person is the seat of the intellect. Yet, the providence of God tells us that, "The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice (ESV Proverbs 12:15)." Listen to what one of our Christian forefathers has pronounced:  

The person blind to the One is utterly blind to everything; but he who sees in the One contemplates all things. He abstains from the contemplation of all things and at the same time enters into the contemplation of all things while remaining outside what he contemplates.

- St Symeon the New Theologian

This is a profound statement. It has caused me to reconsider the wisdom of God as laid down by the biblical writers of the Old and New Testament. It prods me to reinvestigate the conventional wisdom of our church elders. We can learn a lot from our Christian ancestors.
