""Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God." The great point, then, is, that we are consecrated and dedicated to God, and, therefore, should not henceforth think, speak, design, or act, without a view to his glory. What he hath made sacred cannot, without signal insult to him, be applied to profane use. But if we are not our own, but the Lord's, it is plain both what error is to be shunned, and to what end the actions of our lives ought to be directed. We are not our own; therefore, neither is our own reason or will to rule our acts and counsels. We are not our own; therefore, let us not make it our end to seek what may be agreeable to our carnal nature. We are not our own; therefore, as far as possible, let us forget ourselves and the things that are ours. On the other hand, we are God's; let us, therefore, live and die to him (Rom. 14:8). We are God's; therefore, let his wisdom and will preside over all our actions. We are God's; to him, then, as the only legitimate end, let every part of our life be directed. O how great the proficiency of him who, taught that he is not his own, has withdrawn the dominion and government of himself from his own reason that he may give them to God!"

“This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:12-13)

Poorly constructed, overall insignificant answers with circular reasoning. Would not recommend this site to any colleague or serious student of the written Word.
Dear Kristianapologist,
Thank you for your comments about this weblog that has the only purpose of glorifying God.
Concerning the “poor” construction of this weblog, your constructive advices are welcome, unless you don’t have any…
Concerning the “insignificant answers with circular reasoning”, that’s a very subjective opinion that you need to back up with proofs and examples.
As for you not recommending this site, I wonder what is your authority and who would consider you a good adviser. I would advise you to be humble.
Grace be with you!
Disciple of Jesus Christ
