The Spirit

A religion without the Holy Spirit profits nothing.
There is the religion . . .
    of the intellect,
    of the sense,
    of the imagination,
    of the flesh,
    of the creed,
    of the liturgy,
    of the catechism,
    of nature,
    of poetry,
    of sentiment,
    of mysticism,
    of humanity.
But what are these without the Spirit?
Christianity without Christ, what would that be?
Worship without God, what would that be?
So religion without the Holy Spirit, what would that be?
The five who were foolish took no oil for their lamps.
"Sir! Sir!" they said. "Open the door for us!"
But He replied, "I tell you the truth, I don't know you."    Bonar
