Long-lasting victory can never be separated from a long-lasting stand on the foundation of the cross.
Watchman NeeOnly as they cease to seek anything by themselves and only as they take the position of the teachable shall they be taught by the Spirit truth which they are able to digest.
Watchman NeeA mistaken thought may be corrected easily, but an errant affection is nearly unmanageable.
Watchman NeeThe life of faith is not only totally different from, but also diametrically opposite to, a life of feeling.
Watchman NeeRepentance means a change of mind. Formerly, I thought sin as a pleasant thing, but now I have changed my mind about it. Formerly, I thought the world an attractive place, but now I know better. Formerly I regarded it miserable business to be a Christian, but now I think differently. Once I thought certain things delightful, now I think them vile. Once I thought other things utterly worthless, now I think them most precious. That is a change of mind, and that is repentance.
