"A truly sound faith depends on a right concept of God. You can say that you believe that the Bible is God's word, but if you do not let it form your concept of God, you will fall in all sorts of spiritual confusion.

To see God as He truly is, is a humbling experience that drives us to our knees and to the understanding of the attributes of God."

Never did Divine holiness appear more beautiful and lovely than at the time our Savior’s countenance was most marred in the midst of his dying groans."
