Out Of The Mountain Of Despair, A

We Must Make A Great Difference Between God's Word And The Word Of Man. A Man's Word Is A Little Sound, That Flies Into The Air, And Soon Vanishes; But The Word Of God Is Greater Than Heaven And Earth, Yea, Greater Than Death And Hell, For It Forms Part Of The Power Of God, And Endures Everlastingly.

For All Works And Things, Which Are Either Commanded Or Forbidden By God And Thus Have Been Instituted By The Supreme Majesty, Are 'musts.' Nevertheless, No One Should Be Dragged To Them Or Away From Them By The Hair, For I Can Drive No Man To Heaven Or Beat Him Into It With A Club.

Yes, I See The Church As The Body Of Christ. But, Oh! How We Have Blemished And Scarred That Body Through Social Neglect And Through Fear Of Being Nonconformists.

We Must Not Regard What Or How The World Esteems Us, So We Have The Word Pure, And Are Certain Of Our Doctrine.

When God Wants To Speak And Deal With Us, He Does Not Avail Himself Of An Angel But Of Parents, Or The Pastor, Or Of Our Neighbor.
