Art Katz quote from an Article that I am still reading called Apostolic Conversion Pretext or Reality. Beyond mere Salvation.
Basically Art is speaking out of the book of Acts, Saul's conversion being apprehend by Jesus.
I really enjoy this quote in which he states one of the deceptions of a believer
Something that I am striving for with my walk with God. I need this selflessness.
Enjoy
"Now I want to tell you the last and cruelest of our deceptions - it is our concern to be understood and to be perceived in the way that we would like men to acknowledge us spiritually. And until we are blind to men, even to the "spiritual man" that we think ourselves to be or who we desire to be know as, we can not serve God apostolically. We must come to such a selflessness, such a mindlessness about this last man, this last cruel deceiver, who, after we have given up every other form, yet retains this kind of power by which we are traduced and compromised; the necessity to be understood by men in the way that we would wish ourselves to be seen and to be approved! We need to come to a place where we see NO man, even our own man, even our own seeing!!"
