send me neither dreams, nor
visions, nor angels, but to give me
the right understanding of His
Word, the Holy Scriptures; for as
long as I have God's Word, I know
that I am walking in His way and
that I shall not fall into any error
or delusion.”
“I have held many things in my
hands, and I have lost them all;
but whatever I have placed in
