We hear a great deal about faith, but we need to hear a great deal more about works. Many are deceiving their own souls by living an easy-going, accommodating, crossless religion. But Jesus says, “If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.” [The Signs of the Times, June 16, 1890 (Morning Talk at Basel, Switzerland, September 17, 1885.)] (NL 37.1) MC VC
