religious heart roots
Pay no heed to the passing religious vogue. Go back to the grass roots. Open your hearts and search the Scriptures. Bear your cross, follow your Lord. The masses are always wrong. In every generation the number of the righteous is small. Be sure you are among them.
men cost too-much
It is time for us to seek again the leadership of the Holy Spirit. Man's lordship has cost us too much...
godly saws surrender
Faith, as Paul saw it, was a living, flaming thing leading to surrender and obedience to the commandments of Christ.
spiritual invisible seeing
Faith is seeing the invisible, but not the nonexistent.
spiritual
God is here. Wherever we are, God is here. There is no place, there can be no place, where He is not.

As mercy is God's goodness confronting human misery and guilt, so grace is his goodness directed toward human debt and demerit.

The more highly we think of ourselves-our abilities and talents-the less God can use us.
loss past years
Churches are more prosperous than at any time within the past several hundred years. But the alarming thing is that our gains are mostly external and our losses wholly internal; and since it is the quality of our religion that is affected by internal conditions, it may be that our supposed gains are but losses spread over a wider field.
people expectations leader
The true Church has never sounded out public expectations before launching her mission. Her leaders heard from God, they knew their Lord's will and did it. Their people followed them - sometimes to triumph, oftener to insults and public persecution - and their sufficient reward was the satisfaction of being right in a wrong world!

We are sent to bless the world, but we are never told to compromise with it.
opposites errors obedience
To escape the error of salvation by works we have fallen into the opposite error of salvation without obedience.
grief men tragedy
A man by his sin may waste himself, which is to waste that which on earth is most like God. This is man's greatest tragedy and God's heaviest grief.
wise heart mind
We might be wise to follow the insight of the enraptured heart rather than the more cautious reasoning of the theological mind.
animal essence abuse
The abuse of a harmless thing is the essence of sin.
