What might it be like to be conscious only of “The Eyes of the Chooser?” Pull up a chair and let’s talk about it.

EPISODE NOTES

Gordon MacDonald, Ordering Your Private World (United States: Thomas Nelson Publishers, 1984). Soon after I read the book, MacDonald’s own private world was revealed to be a mess. Nevertheless, the book has value.

John 3:30

This comes from Anna L. Waring’s 1850 hymn “Father, I know that all my life.” Full lyrics can be found here.
