CONVERSION – con. – The Varieties of Religious Experience

William James Conversion conclusion, thoughtsofgod.com, Thoughts of God, David Reese

From time to time I will make complete books available. I tend to grab out of copyright material, often from the free book texts at https://www.gutenberg.org/. I find that handling the texts helps me to review the books.

Table of Content – THE PRACTICE OF THE PRESENCE OF GOD

We only deceive ourselves by seeking or loving God for any favors which He has or may grant us. Such favors, no matter how great, can never bring us as near to God as can one simple act of faith. Let us seek Him often by faith. He is within us. Seek Him not elsewhere.

The Apostles' Creed - I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth; I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son,

Studying creeds of the church is a great way to learn of the history of the Church. Every creed is written to settle a controversy or to clarify some theological point.
