True Experiences

Just a quote from Don Whitney's book "Simplify Your Spiritual Life":

"We may sigh at the beauty of the sunset and exclaim, "God is so good!" The statement is true, not because we feel it,l but because the Bible says that God is good. Our experiences do no determine whether the Bible is true; rather, the Bible determines wheter our experiences are true.

It simnplifies the spiritual life to evaluate all spiritual experiences by a single standard -- the Bible. "

also "Any spirituality without God is just self-worship by another name."

Good stuff -- I recommend the book to anyone.
