Faith is the master, and reason the maid-servant.
A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing: our helper He amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing.

God doesn't slack his promises because of our sins or hasten them because of our righteousness. He pays no attention to either.
I had rather be in hell with Christ, than be in heaven without him.
Let Christ's righteousness and grace, not yours, be your refuge.
