Among the Watering Places with Liz

As a young vine needs a trellis to lean on, so the young believer needs specific and prescribed and external routine duties in order to bring the soul to the habits of grace. George Watson, "Coals of Fire," 1886, p. 89. My beautiful trumpet vine, 2012  

"The life of Jesus lived out in the life of His people ~ that is what perfect moral righteousness is.  It is a life of integrity.  It is a life governed by truth and honesty.  It is a life committed to godliness.  It is a life set free from selfish ambitions and vested interests.  It is a life liberated from the defilement of self-righteousness." ~ Ivor Hopkins ~ That the life of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 2 Cor 4:10
