True believers are always represented as mixing in the world, doing their duty in it, and glorifying God by patience, meekness, purity, and courage in their several positions, and not by cowardly desertion of them. Moreover, it is foolish to suppose that we can keep the world and the devil out of our hearts by going into holes and corners. True Christianity and unworldliness are best seen, not in timidly forsaking the post which God has allotted to us, but in boldly standing our ground, and showing the power of grace to overcome evil.”

The mercy of God is necessary not only when a person repents, but even to lead him to repent, Augustine

May we always be conscious that it is only by "the power of grace" that we overcome anything. Though I have been a believer for several years, I still find God often reminding me of this all-important truth.
Christ is lovely, Christ is very lovely, Christ is most lovely, Christ is always lovely, Christ is altogether lovely. --Thomas Brooks
