The Christian life is never static. One must either grow in grace, or there will be backsliding and deterioration.
Henry Allen IronsideIt is not only that sin consists in doing evil, but in not doing the good that we know.
Henry Allen IronsideGod-sent ministry, heeded and bowed to, leads to enlargement and blessing; but the Spirit's testimony rejected increases the guilt of him who hardens himself against it, and makes his condition far worse than before. It is ever the case that light refused makes the darkness all the deeper. Hence the need of a tender conscience, quick to respond to every word from God.
