"Remember that it is not hasty reading, but serious meditation on holy and heavenly truths, that makes them prove sweet and profitable to the soul. It is not the mere touching of the flower by the bee that gathers honey, but her abiding for a time on the flower that draws out the sweet. It is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most, that will prove to be the choicest, sweetest, wisest and strongest Christian." (Thomas Brooks)
In the early 1300’s the Kublai Khan of China requested, through his friendship with Marco Polo, that the Pope send 100 monks to teach them about Christianity. This request was never fulfilled because the church was too busy with their military operations. Mark this: sad moments in Church history.

My desire is not merely to know theology, but to live it. But you can't live it if you don't know it!
