“Faith from, its essential nature implies the fallen state of man, while it recognizes the principles of the covenant of grace. It is itself the condition of that covenant. It is a grace which is alike distinguished from the love of angels and the faith of devils. It is peculiar to the returning sinner. None but a lost sinner needs it; none but a humbled sinner relishes it.” MenNeedsStatesLostPrinciplesGraceConditionsEssentialsDevilAngelFallenSinnerPeculiarDistinguishedCovenantRelish Author:Gardiner Spring
“Through the years, I have discovered some essential principles in discerning God's will: First, by God's grace, we must be firmly committed to seeking first the Kingdom of God and His glory. Secondly, we must establish a life discipline of renewing our minds in the Word of God. Thirdly, we must seek godly counsel from mature believers. Fourthly, we must watch for signs of God's providence opening doors and closing them. Finally, we should consider the desires of our heart.” ShouldYearsMindFirstsHeartDesirePrinciplesWatchesGraceDoorsDisciplineEssentialsGloryCommittedSeekingBelieverGods WillKingdomsOpeningMatureWord Of GodProvidenceGodlyClosingKingdom Of GodGod's GraceThrough The YearsDiscerningOpening Doors Author:Paul Washer

“If our hearts and minds are not properly transformed, we are like musicians playing untuned instruments, or engineers working with broken and ill-programmed computers. The attunement of the heart is essential to the outflow of grace...We must aim at building the structures of God's kingdom but recognized that we will only create these through the transformation of our experience.
