Guard your thoughts--and there will be little fear about your actions.- J.C. Ryle
“Behold how many long for that bodily health, and receive it from Him; they are healed by Him, but not for Him. How are they healed by Him, and not for Him? When they have received health they become wanton; they who when sick were chaste, have become adulterers: they who when in illness injured no man, on the recovery of their strength attack and crush the innocent: they are healed but not unto Him. Who is he who is healed unto Him? He who is healed inwardly. Who is he who is healed inwardly? He who trusts in Him, that when he shall have been healed inwardly, reformed into a new man, afterwards this mortal flesh too, which does languish for a time, may in the end itself even recover its most perfect health. Let us therefore be healed for Him. But that we may be healed for Him, let us believe in His right hand.” (Augustine on Psalm 98 – Nicene and PN – p.481)
Sin always carries a degree of darkness with it; and the more it prevails, the more it darkens and deludes the mind. - Jonathan Edwards.
