“For God is not a God of emotionalism, but the God of truth.”

“The grace (we) have received is costly grace.  It was grace, for it was like water on parched ground, comfort in tribulation, freedom from bondage of a self-chosen way, and forgiveness of all sins.  And it was costly, for, so far from dispensing (us) from good works, it meant that (we) must take the call to discipleship more seriously than ever before. It was grace because it cost so much, and it cost so much because it was grace.”
