The Right Heart and Mind, Daily

8/8/2021

“We can say these things, and probably embrace them as truth; but are we prepared for the Cross to cut from under our feet all ground but God Himself, to bring us repeatedly to Wit's End Corner, the end of all resources, the end of all hope, where, as Paul said, ‘we despaired... of life... that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God who raiseth the dead’ (2 Cor. 1:8-9)? Are you prepared to accept that as the basis of your life? That is the basis of glory. That is the testimony. You cannot bring that about merely by the teaching you receive. That is the peril - that there should be a people accepting the teaching but not standing in the life and the power of it.”

-T. Austin-Sparks, “A Candlestick All of Gold.”

Life is not always as dire as TA likes to point towards, however, the right heart and mind daily at the Altar is essential.
