Quote of the Week: Bunyan

Ignorance:  When do thoughts about ourselves agree with the Word of God?

Christian:  When we pass the same judgment upon ourselves that the Word of God does. But let me explain further.  The Word of God says of the natural man, "There is none who does righteous, there is none who does good."  It also says, "Every imagination of the heart of man is only evil, and continuously so."  And again, "The imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth."  Now, then, when we think of ourselves in this sense, then our thoughts are good ones because they are in agreement with the Word of God.

John Bunyan, Pilgrim's Progress
