“Sin has made men worship either (1) a false God, which is idolatry; or (2) God falsely, which is superstition. Man has become such a fool that his worship, till enlightened and converted, is either a breach of the First or Second Commandment. He fails as to the object and manner of worship, and both speak man’s folly, that his religion is either idolatry or superstition.”
From The Sinfulness of Sin, first published in 1669 under the title The Plague of Plagues by Ralph Venning (1621 – 1674)

Primarily through Christian Military Fallowship (http://www.cmfhq.org/) and by worshipping/fellowship in the Army chapels here at Ft. Carson. Have been connected to chapels and soldiers since ‘coming in from the cold in 1977. A Special Forces chaplaim performed our marriage ceremony almost 37 years ago.
