Never Was Sin Seen To Be More

Every Time We Say We Believe In The Holy Spirit, We Mean We Believe That There Is A Living God Able And Willing To Enter Human Personality And Change It.

Let Our Hearts Admit, “i Am Poor And Weak. Satan Is Too Subtle, Too Cunning, Too Powerful; He Watches Constantly For Advantages Over My Soul. The World Presses In Upon Me With All Sorts Of Pressures, Pleas, And Pretences. My Own Corruption Is Violent, Tumultuous, Enticing, And Entangling. As It Conceives Sin, It Wars Within Me And Against Me. Occasions And Opportunities For Temptation Are Innumerable. No Wonder I Do Not Know How Deeply Involved I Have Been With Sin. Therefore, On God Alone Will I Rely For My Keeping. I Will Continually Look To Him.

We Can Have No Power From Christ Unless We Live In A Persuasion That We Have None Of Our Own.

Temptation Gains Power Where We See It Prevail In Others We Know And We Express Neither Shock Or Hatred Of Them And Their Ways Nor Pity And Prayer For Their Deliverance.

Some Relate . . . That The Eagle Tries The Eyes Of Her Young By Turning Them To The Sun; Which If They Cannot Look Steadily On, She Rejects Them As Spurious. We May Truly Try Our Faith By Immediate Intuitions Of The Sun Of Righteousness. Direct Faith To Act Itself, Immediately And Directly On The Incarnation Of Christ And His Mediation; And If It Be Not The Right Kind And Race, It Will Turn Its Eyes Aside To Anything Else.
