M.) Bounds (What do you...

THREE POSSIBLE KINDS OF GOD
There are three possible kinds of God: 1) The god of one's own ego, in which the atheist believes, and which is also the god of modern confusionism; 2) The god of nature, of stone and gold and silver, which belonged to the old religions of idolatry; 3) And the Supreme God, Who made both man and...

THE DANGERS OF CONFINING ONESELF
Use yourself then by degrees thus to worship Him, to beg His grace, to offer Him your heart from time to time, in the midst of your business, even every moment if you can.

What God Has Planted
If my work does not come from God, I would consent to its ruin. I would join our enemies in destroying it if I thought it did not have God as its author, or that God did not will its progress.
