Psychology describes. The Bible prescribes. 'Turn from evil. Let that be the medicine to keep you in health.' Pr 3:7,8.

Silence, as someone has said, is the mother of prayer and the nurse of holy thoughts. Silence cuts down on our sins, doesn't it? We can't be sinning in so many different ways if we are being quiet before God. Silence nourishes patience, charity, discretion.

Action that is clearly right needs no justification.

Where reasons are given, we don't need faith. Where only darkness surrounds us, we have no means for seeing except by faith.

Things which sound like platitudes become vital, living and powerful when you have to learn them in the bottom of the barrel, in dark tunnels.

True faith goes into operation when there are no answers.

If your goal is purity of heart, be prepared to be thought very odd.
