Quotes

"It is very important that we assert, against. Mystics and Fanatics, the counterpoint truth, that His customary instrument (in all cases except the redemption of infants and idiots) is the Word. If we allow any other standard or instrumentality of regeneration than the Word, there will be no barrier to the confounding of every crude impulse of nature and Satan, with those of the Holy Spirit." --R. L. Dabney

"Our inability to see our sin is a diminishing of the work of The Lord Christ on the Cross in favor of a pride mechanism that always wants to justify ourselves. Just so the ability to only see our sin is likewise a diminishing of the work of The Lord Christ on the Cross in favor of a pride mechanism that tells itself that the more I grovel the more righteous I must be." -- B. L. Davidson

"If things can improve, this means that there must be some absolute standard of good above and outside the cosmic process to which that process can approximate. There is no sense in talking of 'becoming better' if better means simply 'what you are becoming' -- it is like congratulating yourself on reaching your destination and defining destination as 'the place you have reached'." -- C. S. Lewis
