Structure,

“Structure is the means of moral living.”

“Biblical structure tends to bring more deep seated pleasure and to foster longer, healthier lives.”

“Morality simply demands pleasure on the long term (God’s terms) rather than on impulse.”

“Morality is concerned with long term lasting results.”

“A train is free to run most rapidly and freely when it is “confined” to the tracks.”

“Holiness always has good results.”

Don’t laugh! These are not the quotation of a Pentecostal writer. Has anyone, beside self, read a book titled, “Competent to Counsel?”(pgs 160 – 161)

The base of this chapter is that we as humans need a structure to live and move within. The best and only true structure is the Ten Commandments. Along with the point that we need to have instructors to teach us the structure that Jesus desires us to have in the New Testament.

Oh, I am reading this book for the third time;
Mervi
