Contentment, then, is the product of a heart resting in God. It is the soul’s enjoyment of that peace that passes all understanding. It is the outcome of my will being brought into subjection to the Divine will. It is the blessed assurance that God does all things well, and is, even now, making all things work together for my ultimate good.

if the will is their servant then it is not sovereign, and if the will is not sovereign, we certainly cannot predicate 'freedom' of it.

We must not forget that the issues of Eternity are settled in Time.

Taking up my cross means a life voluntarily surrendered to God.

After grief for sin there should be joy for forgiveness.

There is only one safeguard against error, and that is to be established in the faith; and for that, there has to be prayerful and diligent study, and a receiving with meekness the engrafted Word of God. Only then are we fortified against the attacks of those who assail us.

A natural faith is sufficient for trusting a human object; but a supernatural faith is required to trust savingly in a Divine object.
