Accountability for our spiritual progress
What
is beautiful and well-made belongs to the world and cannot comfort those who
want to live a spiritual life. There is no wall that will not eventually
be torn down. One soul is worth more than the entire world. What
must we do for the soul? We must begin spiritual work. We must have
only the right kind of concern. Christ will ask us what spiritual work we
have accomplished, how we helped the world in spiritual matters. He will
not ask what buildings we made. He will not even mention them. We
will be held accountable for our spiritual progress. I want you to grasp
what I am trying to say. I am not saying that one must not construct
buildings, and not construct them well, but one must take care of the spiritual
life first and then mind the rest, and do all that with spiritual
discernment.
