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.

Happy the soul that has been awed by a view of God's majesty

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

Contentment... is the soul's enjoyment of that peace that passes all understanding.

Instead of complaining at his lot, a contented man is thankful that his condition and circumstances are no worse than they are. Instead of greedily desiring something more than the supply of his present need, he rejoices that God still cares for him. Such an one is "content" with such as he has (Heb. 13:5).

When you observe that the fire in your room is getting dull, you do not always put on more coal, but simply stir with the poker; so God often uses the black poker of adversity in order that the flames of devotion may burn more brightly.

Almost all doctrinal error is really truth perverted. Truth wrongly divided. Truth disproportionately held and taught.
