The house built on the sand may oftentimes be built higher, have more fair parapets and battlements, windows and ornaments, than that which is built upon the rock; yet all gifts and privileges equal not one grace.

I do not understand how a man can be a true believer, in whom sin is not the greatest burden, sorrow and trouble.

Meditate on the Word in the Word.
