You and I are, by birth, by nature, and by choice, inwardly depraved, which is to say that we are entirely corrupt. That's not to say that we have no good in us; we do. However, anything good in us has been tainted with evil. It touches everything. Without the redeeming power of Christ we cannot halt our own moral slide.

It is in lonely solitude that God delivers His best thoughts, and the mind needs to be still and quiet to receive them.

The longer I live the more I believe that the greatest enemy of a victorious Christian life is passivity.
