It is a transforming fellowship, and assimilates the person privileged with admission to it to Him who is conversed with, and with whom fellowship is attained unto. There is no real communion with Him but the result of it is some lineament of further likeness to Him. “We all,” said the apostle in 2 Corinthians 3:18, “beholding the glory of the Lord as in a glass, are changed (or transformed) into the same image, from glory to glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord.” Communion with and conformity to God have mutual influence and reciprocal force each upon other. The more communion with Him, the more likeness and conformity to Him; the more likeness to Him, the more communion with Him. Little communion with Him makes little conformity to Him, and little conformity to Him cannot but be attended with little communion with Him. [John Carstares from the Epistle Dedicatory in James Durham's--Unsearchable Riches of Christ--sermons on the Lord's Supper]

God is the one thing (person) always worth conforming too.

Hi Russ,
I’m holding on.
I have a doctors appt tomorrow, and have to spend some time today researching for that, to try and reduce the chances of my doctor accidentally making me very very ill or possibly killing me! With porphyria its one of the binds, as a third of the medications on any doctors list we can’t take cuz they interfere with the faulty gene pathway. But I’ll check your blog out as time and my health allows.
