The Roots of Our Hearts – AW Tozer

The roots of our hearts have grown down into things, and we dare not pull up one rootlet lest we die. Things have become necessary to us, a development never originally intended. God’s gifts now take the place of God, and the whole course of nature is upset by the monstrous substitution.

The Glorious Plan – Ichabod Spencer

The plan, as I now saw it, seemed so infinitely more glorious, that I could only rejoice in it. Not only had he paid our debt, but he had clothed us also in his own robe of righteousness: so that we need not depend on ourselves, or look for righteousness in ourselves, but find all in Christ. That was truly a glorious redemption.
