[Biblemat] A> I Am A Restorer

[ZekeFlores1 at cs.com]

Brethren,
       I found the following quote taped to the refrigerator of one of our 
members. She had the piece of paper they were printed on for years and couldn't 
remember where they came from. I thought they were simply profound and wanted 
to share them. If they are familiar to anyone, I'd appreciate knowing the 
source of this quote.

"I am a restorer – unbowed, undaunted, extremist, and eccentric. The 
centerpiece of my intellectual universe is Biblical primitivism, a search for the 
first pure truths and ordinances. I am seeking that elusive image of Christianity 
as it came from the mind of God. You may say it is not there; it is an 
illusion. I have decided to seek it anyway. You say I will not find it because I 
carry on my back the baggage of my own past, of the culture in which I live, of 
the language with which I think. Self-consciously and with as much 
self-awareness as possible, I have decided to try. You may say I will fail and be 
disillusioned. So far I have not but I have never been alone. God has provided others 
of like mind to be my fellow travelers. It has been a rigorous journey, but I 
know no other way. The search has served me well and should you come to look 
for me, you will find me a bit further down the same road."
