“But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
2 Corinthians 3:18

“Authenticity (TRUE BEING) is not the result of a man being true to himself, rather it is the fruit of a life that (by God’s Grace) has become TRUE IN GOD. It is in the seeing of HIM that I know myself (see Isaiah 6, Revelation 1:12–17). HE is the TRUTH, and it is in the seeing of HIM alone are we changed from the corruption of ourselves into HIS LIKENESS!”
– Brian Troxel (Quoted from his book “Paths of the Shepherd“)

Wisdom of the Ages – William Secker

Wisdom of the Ages

William Secker

“There is no ascertaining the quality of a tree but by its fruits. When the wheels of a clock move within, the hand on the dial will move without. When the heart of a man is sound in conversion, then the life will be fair in profession. When the conduit is walled in, how shall we judge of the spring but by the waters which run through the pipes?”
William Secker

“Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them”
Matthew 7:20
