“The faith towards God in Christ must be sure and steadfast, that it may solace and make glad the conscience, and put it to rest. When a man has this certainty, he has overcome the serpent; but if he be doubtful of the doctrine, it is for him very dangerous to dispute with the devil.” IfsMenMayChristDangerousDevilConscienceOvercomingGladDoctrineCertaintyDisputesSolaceDoubtfulSerpentSteadfast Book:The table talk or familiar discourse of Martin Luther, tr. by W.

“Being disconnected from the local church, for whatever reason, is a dangerous way to live. Not only do these “ lone rangers” miss out on the blessings of functioning within the context of the body of Christ, but like lone sheep away from the safety of the flock and the watchful care of the shepherd, they are vulnerable to predators of every sort.” WayReasonBodyCareChristChurchDangerousMissingBlessingSafetyLocalsVulnerableSheepFlocksWay To LiveShepherdsPredatorLoneDisconnectedRangersBody Of ChristLocal ChurchLone Ranger Book:Holiness: The Heart God Purifies Source: Holiness: The Heart God Purifies
“Pride is a terrible and dangerous thing. It can take so many forms; it can even assume the appearance of humility. Pride can lead not only to self-exaltation, but also to self-abasement. The key to battling pride is not found in struggling against thinking too highly of ourselves or in striving to think of ourselves as lowly. The key is found in simply not thinking about ourselves at all, but setting our minds on Christ and the needs of others.” ThinkingNeedsMindSelfFormFoundChristStruggleDangerousHumilityPrideKeysTerribleAssumingStriveAppearanceSettingSettingsDangerous ThingsExaltationNeeds Of OthersAbasement Author:Paul Washer
