“How big is God? How big and wide his vast domain?
To try and tell, these lips can only start.

There’s a story about a little girl who climbed up on the lap of great-grandmother, looked at her white hair and wrinkles, and then asked, "Did God make you?" "Yes," she said. Then she asked, "Did God make me, too?" Grandma said, "Yes." "Well,"

John Flavel: "How dangerous it is to join anything of our own to the righteousness of Christ, in pursuit of justification before God! Jesus Christ will never endure this; it reflects upon His work dishonorably. He will be all, or none, in our justification…. Christ is no half-Savior. It is a hard

My favorite story about the Holy Spirit is the story C.S. Lewis told about a college student who wrote to him. The young man was an atheist. And he was very concerned, because he had made friends with some Christian students. They were enthusiastically witnessing to him about Jesus, and it had
