The Person Who Understands The Evil In His Own Heart Is The Only Person Who Is Useful, Fruitful, And Solid In His Beliefs And Obedience. Others Only Delude Themselves And Thus Upset Families, Churches, And All Other Relationships. In Their Self-pride And Judgment Of Others, They Show Great Inconsistency.

Great Winds And Storms Help Fruit-bearing Trees. So Also Do Corruptions And Temptations Help The Fruitfulness Of Grace And Holiness. The Storm Loosens The Earth Round Its Roots So The Tree Is Able To Get Its Roots Deeper Into The Earth, Where It Receives Fresh Supplies Of Nourishment. But Only Much Later Will It Be Seen To Bring Forth Better Fruit. So Corruptions And Temptations Develop The Roots Of Humility, Self-abasement And Mourning In A Deeper Search For That Grace By Which Holiness Grows Strong. But Only Later Will There Be Visible Fruits Of Increased Holiness.

The Pretended Desires Of Many To Behold The Glory Of Christ In Heaven, Who Have No View Of It By Faith While They Are Here In This World, Are Nothing But Self-deceiving Imaginations.

If A Man Teach Uprightly And Walk Crookedly, More Will Fall Down In The Night Of His Life Than He Built In The Day Of His Doctrine.
