“And, indeed, this is one of the greatest mysteries in the world; namely, that a righteousness that resides in heaven should justify me, a sinner on earth!”

A man there was, though some did count him mad, the more he cast away the more he had.

Afflictions make the heart more deep, more experimental, more knowing and profound, and so, more able to hold, to contain, and beat more.

I am content with what I have, little be it, or much.

No man, without trials and temptations, can attain a true understanding of the Holy Scriptures.

There is no way to kill a man’s righteousness but by his own consent.

The difference between true and false repentance lies in this: the man who truly repents cries out against his heart; but the other, as Eve, against the serpent, or something else.

The more he cast away, the more he had.

To run and work the law commands, but gives us neither feet nor hands. But better news the gospel brings, it bids us fly and gives us wings.

In times of affliction we commonly meet with the sweetest experiences of the love of God.

The man who does not know the nature of the Law, cannot know the nature of sin.

Be of good cheer, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole.

An idle man’s brain is the devil’s workshop.

There can be but one will the master in our salvation, but that shall never be the will of man, but of God; therefore man must be saved by grace.

A saint abroad, and a devil at home.

Christ is the desire of nations, the joy of angels, the delight of the Father. What solace then must that soul be filled with, that has the possession of Him to all eternity!

What God says is best, is best, though all the men in the world are against it.

Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

Even if they’re saying your name with dislike, at least you know you’re you, that you exist.

Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!

I’ve always felt that even though a man was not a Christian, he still has to know the truth some way or another. Or if he was a Christian, he could know the truth. The truth itself doesn’t have any name on it to me. And each man has to find this for himself, I think.

Trapnest means “The Trapped Den” Once we enter it, we can’t get out by our own means I thought that that name could only come from a man who love having power over other.

I also studied privately in NYC with a teacher named Robert X. Modica.

Had I to create a name for these times, I’d say it is the age of craziness

I don’t think a name defines the core of who you are.
