[b]If we were left to ourselves[/b](William Secker, "The Consistent Christian" 1660)"What makes you better than anyone else?" 1 Corinthians 4:7Reader, are there not the same lusts lodging in your heart--which are reigning in wicked men's lives? The reason why there is so little self-condemnation, is because there is so little self-examination.If we were left to ourselves but for a moment--we would destroy ourselves in that moment! We can defile ourselves--but we cannot cleanse ourselves. The sheep can go astray alone--but can never return to the fold, without the assistance of the shepherd."Hold me up--and I shall be safe!" Psalm 119:117
