I am quite sick of modern religion - it is such a mixture, such a medley, such a compromise. I find much, indeed, of this religion in my own heart,for it suits the flesh well - but I would not have it so, and grieve it should be so.
The religion which I want is that of the Holy Spirit.
I know nothing but what He teaches me.
I feel nothing but what He works in me.
I believe nothing but what He shows me.
I only mourn when He reveals the Saviour.
This religion I am seeking after, though miles and miles from it - but no other will satisfy or content me.
When the blessed Spirit is not at work in me, and with me, I fall back into all the darkness, unbelief, earthliness, idleness, carelessness, infidelity, and helplessness of my Adam nature.
