If We Believe Not With Faith Divine

Spiritual Wisdom Consists In Finding Out The Subtleties, Policies, And Depths Of Any Indwelling Sin... To Trace This Serpent In All Its Turnings And Windings; Be Able To Say, At Its Most Secret Actings, 'this Is Your Old Way And Course; I Know What You Aim At.'

It Is Not The Glorious Battlements, The Painted Windows, The Crouching Gargoyles That Support A Building, But The Stones That Lie Unseen In Or Upon The Earth. It Is Often Those Who Are Despised And Trampled On That Bear Up The Weight Of A Whole Nation.

Let Not That Man Think He Makes Any Progress In Holiness Who Walks Not Over The Bellies Of His Lusts. He Who Doth Not Kill Sin In This Way Takes No Steps Toward His Journey's End.

Christ Did Not Die For Any Upon Condition, If They Do Believe; But He Died For All God's Elect, That They Should Believe.

To Suppose That Whatever God Requireth Of Us That We Have Power Of Ourselves To Do, Is To Make The Cross And Grace Of Jesus Christ Of None Effect.
