Again, I write a new commandment to you, which is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shines.
Likewise, in the current era, the church needs no new doctrine or philosophy, but a renewal in people's hearts of those teachings received from the beginning of the church.  And those great basics of the Christian gospel are always new, exciting and glorious in the hearts of those joyfully receiving them; and yet they are also ancient.  What is older than the drama of birth or marriage? and yet how new such things always are in every experience of them!
