The Sophos (May 14th)

===========================================
What is it?
===========================================
"The Sophos" (Sage) would be a topic where I share wise and edifying words from Pastors, Theologians, the Puritans and the characters in Scripture. May you find this entry encouraging.

===========================================
The Sophos
===========================================
"He that has doctrinal knowledge and speculation only, without affection, never is engaged in the business of religion." - Jonathan Edwards
 "My brothers, when God first began to love you, he gave you all that he ever meant to give you in the lump, and eternity of time is that in which he is retailing of it out." - Thomas Goodwin
"It is in the nature of this grace to grow and increase unto the end. As rivers, the nearer they come unto the ocean where they tend, the more they increase their waters, and speed their streams; so will grace flow more freely and fully in its near approaches to the ocean of glory." - John Owen 
"Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important." - C. S. Lewis
"Justification by faith is the hinge on which all true religion turns." - John Calvin
