"Faith is not a commodity we either have or don't have-it is an inner quality that unfolds as we learn to trust our own deepest experience."

Previous Quote

Naturally, men are prone to spin themselves a web of opinions out of their own brain, and to have a religion that may be called their own. They are far readier to make themselves a faith, than to receive that which God hath formed to their hands; are far readier to receive a doctrine that tends to their carnal commodity, or honor, or delight, than one that tends to self-denial.

— Richard Baxter
