Solomon's Porch:In the Passing Minute

The way I eat and drink will show... 

• who I regard as my master. 
• Do I regard the restraining wisdom in me as master, 
• or do I regard God as Master? 

The note of false Christianity is abstinence...

• from marriage and from meats—
• Live away up on the mount, 
• that is, do what no human being can do. 
• If a man cannot prove his religion in the valley, 
• it is not worth anything. 

Beware of a religion... 

• which makes you neglect the basis of your ordinary life. 
• If you can be a beast, you can also be a son of God. 
• “The Son of man came eating and drinking. . . .” 
• “Have you here any meat? . . . And He took it, and did eat before them.” 

When once a man has learned to get at God’s order in the passing minute...

• and to know that his prevailing Master is God, 
• then he is on the right track. 
• Every other basis ends in disaster.
