“You can't bypass repentance to get to grace.
Christ is manifested in our humility.
not in our disobedience."
The LORD says,
“I will guide you
along the best pathway for your life.
I will advise you and watch over you.
Do not be like a senseless horse or mule
that needs a bit and bridle
to keep it under control.”
- - Psalm 32:8-9 (New Living Translation)
"Sin only perverts what is good.
Thus theft is a misuse of property.
Lying is a misuse of the gift of language,
as is slander, deceit and malice.
Sexual immorality is a misuse of the gift of sexuality
Divorce is a misuse of marriage.
Greed is a misuse of our good desires and the aspirations we have.
Pride is a misuse of skill and giving too much credit to ourselves.
Every sin you can think of is somehow
a perversion of something that is good."
- - Dr. Dan Doriani
"Our dignity is not found in rebellion against God,
but in the humility of faith and in seeing
our utter need of the grace of God given in Christ."
-- Dr. Robert A. Peterson
"Lord God, let us keep your Scriptures in mind
and meditate on them day and night,
persevering in prayer,
always on the watch.
We beg you, Lord,
give us real knowledge of what we read,
and show us not only how to understand it
but how to put it into practice
that we might obtain spiritual grace,
enlightened by the law of the Holy Spirit,
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
whose power and glory will endure
throughout all ages.
Amen."
- The prayer of St. Origen (AD 185-254)
"O gracious and holy Father,
give us wisdom to perceive Thee,
intelligence to understand Thee,
diligence to seek Thee,
patience to wait for Thee,
eyes to behold Thee,
and a life to proclaim Thee.
Through the power of
the Spirit of Jesus Christ our Lord,
amen."
-The Prayer of St. Benedict (AD 480-543)
"As long as you are proud you cannot know God.
A proud man is always looking down on things and people:
and, of course, as long as you are looking down,
you cannot see something that is above you."
-- C.S. Lewis
"Love so follows knowledge,
that no man can perfectly love God
who has not previously
a full comprehension of His goodness."
"Only he who believes is obedient,
and only he who is obedient believes."

"Lord, it belongs not to my care
whether I die or live;
To love and serve Thee is my share,
and this Thy grace must give.
If life be long, I will be glad,
that I may long obey;
If short - then why should I be sad
to soar to endless day?"
-- J.I.Packer
