The more grace a man has…
I hope that from our youth we have known the necessity of dependence upon God, but I am certain that dependence is a growing feeling. Growing Christians think themselves nothing; full-grown Christians think themselves less than nothing. Good men are like ships, the fuller they are the lower they sink in the stream. The more
grace a man has the…

The Labor of Self-love
Trials and Pain The
devil, things and people being what they are, it is necessary for God to use the hammer, the file and the furnace in His holy work of preparing a saint for true sainthood.

That’s what the life of faith is supposed to be like
If you succumb to the temptation to worry, what you are really doing is borrowing tomorrow’s troubles without access to tomorrow’s grace. Each day’s supply is sufficient for that day. And if we learn to live that way, we will discover that God’s grace truly is sufficient.

LECTURE VII. FOUNDATION OF MORAL OBLIGATION. I now come to consider the philosophy which teaches that moral order is the foundation of moral obligation. But what is moral order? The advocates of this theory define it to be identical with the fit, proper, suitable. It is, then, according to them, synonymous with the right. Moral order must be, in their…
