All the sin of heathendom, all the sin of Christendom, is but the outgrowth of one root --- God dethroned, self enthroned in the heart of man. --- Andrew Murray

 

We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ...Not that we dare to classify or compare ourselves with some of those who are commending themselves. But when they measure themselves by one another and compare themselves with one another, they are without understanding. Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord. For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends. (II Corinthians 10:5, 12, 18).
