Sin is too great an evil for man to meddle with. His attempts to remove it do but increase it, and his endeavours to approach God in spite of it aggravate his guilt.

All unbelief is the belief of a lie.

Thy way, not mine, O Lord, however dark it be; lead me by thine own hand; choose out the path for me.
