George MacDonald
Image
But when we are following the light, even its extinction is a guide.
George MacDonald
Image
The mind of the many is not the mind of God.
George MacDonald

The Lord never came to deliver men from the consequences of their sins while yet those sins remained...Yet men, loving their sins and feeling nothing of their dread hatefulness, have, consistent with their low condition, constantly taken this word concerning the Lord to mean that he came to save them from the punishment of their sins.
