Pure gold in Augustine this morning:

"Anyone who thinks that [they have] understood the divine scriptures or any part of them, but cannot by his understanding build up this double love of God and neighbour, has not yet succeeded in understanding them."
Which then led to this, which really caught me off-guard: "Therefore a person strengthened by faith, hope, and love, and who steadfastly holds on to them, has no need of the scriptures except to instruct others."

Not sure I will ever be steadfast enough to put my bible away...
