The Seed Of Every Sin Is In

Mortification From A Self-strength, Carried On By Ways Of Self-invention, Unto The End Of A Self-righteousness, Is The Soul And Substance Of All False Religion In The World.

The Purpose Of Our Holy And Righteous God Was To Save His Church, But Their Sin Could Not Go Unpunished. It Was, Therefore, Necessary That The Punishment For That Sin Be Transferred From Those Who Deserved It But Could Not Bear It, To One Who Did Not Deserve It But Was Able To Bear It.

It Is Not The Glorious Battlements, The Painted Windows, The Crouching Gargoyles That Support A Building, But The Stones That Lie Unseen In Or Upon The Earth. It Is Often Those Who Are Despised And Trampled On That Bear Up The Weight Of A Whole Nation.

No Man Shall Ever Behold The Glory Of Christ By Sight Hereafter Who Does Not In Some Measure Behold It Here By Faith.

Steadfastness In Believing Doth Not Exclude All Temptations From Without. When We Say A Tree Is Firmly Rooted, We Do Not Say The Wind Never Blows Upon It.
