“In the doctrine of Providence, we have a specific Christian confession exclusively possible through faith in Jesus Christ. This faith is no general, vague notion of Providence. It has a concrete focus: ‘If God is for us, who is against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things?’ (Rom.8:31, 32).” IfsGivingChristianJesusChristFocusSonJesus ChristAll ThingsNotionDoctrineConcreteConfessionProvidenceVagueFaith In Jesus Author:G.

“Such is the effect of the grace of God in the heart of a pilgrim; while on one hand he sees the propensity of his evil nature to every sin which has been committed by others, and is humbled; he also confesses, that, by no power of his own, is he preserved, but ever gives the glory to the God of all grace, by whose power alone he is kept from falling.” GivingHeartHas BeensHandsFallEvilSinGraceEffectsGloryCommittedConfessionGrace Of GodPilgrimPropensity Book:The Select Works of John Bunyan: Containing the Pilgrim's Progress ... with a Life of the Author Source: The Select Works of John Bunyan: Containing the Pilgrim's Progress ... with a Life of the Author
“There are many reasons for keeping a diary: to make a note of facts that one considers important; to open one's heart, to give vent to one's feelings, to make confessions; from the instinct of economy which sometimes encourages a writer to make good use of even the smallest crumbs of his life, so that he may have one more book to publish; or again from vanity and self- satisfaction.” GivingHeartMayImportantBookSelfSometimesReasonFactsUseFeelingsEconomyNotesInstinctSatisfactionVanityConfessionSmallestPublishDiariesCrumbsSelf-satisfaction Author:Alberto Moravia
“Go to your confessor; open your heart to him; display to him all the recesses of your soul; take the advice that he will give you with the utmost humility and simplicity. For God, Who has an infinite love for obedience, frequently renders profitable the counsels we take from others, but especially from those who are the guides of our souls.” GivingHeartSoulAdviceHumilityInfiniteSimplicitySaintGuidesYour SoulObedienceDisplayConfessionProfitableOpen Your HeartRecessInfinite Love Author:Saint Francis de Sales
