Meditation:
    Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers.
    —1 Timothy 4:16 (NIV)
Quotation:
    It is worse than useless for Christians to talk about the importance of Christian morality, unless they are prepared to take their stand upon the fundamentals of Christian theology. It is a lie to say that dogma does not matter; it matters enormously. It is fatal to let people suppose that Christianity is only a mode of feeling; it is vitally necessary to insist that it is first and foremost a rational explanation of the universe.
    ... Dorothy Leigh Sayers (1893-1957), Christian Letters to a Post-Christian World, Eerdmans, 1969, p. 31 (see the book)
