“Liberated from the error of pagan tradition through the benevolence and loving kindness of the good God with the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the operation of the Holy Spirit, I was reared from the very beginning by Christian parents. From them I learned even in babyhood the Holy Scriptures which led me to a knowledge of the truth.” ChristianSpiritJesusParentChristLordKindnessGraceHolyJesus ChristTraditionErrorsScriptureOperationsHoly SpiritOur LordLiberatedBenevolencePaganLord Jesus ChristHoly ScripturesGood GodLoving KindnessOur Lord Jesus ChristBabyhood Author:Saint Basil
“The spiritual man habitually makes eternity-judgments instead of time-judgments. By faith he rises above the tug of earth and the flow of time and learns to think and feel as one who has already left the world and gone to join the innumerable company of angels and the general assembly and Church of the First-born which are written in heaven. Such a man would rather be useful than famous and would rather serve than be served. And all this must be by the operation of the Holy Spirit within him. No man can become spiritual by himself. Only the free Spirit can make a man spiritual.” ThinkingMenWorldFeelsFirstsEarthSpiritualSpiritLeftHeavenBornChurchCompanyGoneWrittenHolyJudgmentAngelFlowEternityOperationsHoly SpiritRise AboveAssemblyFree SpiritGeneral Assembly Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer

“The proper office of religion is to regulate the heart of men, humanize their conduct, infuse the spirit of temperance, order, andobedience; and as its operation is silent, and only enforces the motives of morality and justice, it is in danger of being overlooked, and confounded with these other motives.” MenHeartSpiritReligionOrderJusticeDangerMoralityOfficeSilentOperationsMotiveTemperanceOverlooked Book:Dialogues and Natural History of Religion Source: Dialogues and Natural History of Religion
