"Shall we not be concerned about our own growth? Shall we not be grieved
if we do not grow in our views and feelings in reference to sin? The
older we are as the children of God, the longer we have had fellowship
with the Pure and Holy One, the more we should hate everything which is
sinful. Shall we not be grieved if, as the months go by, we do not find
ourselves more decided and resolute and settled in our religious
convictions and habits? Shall we not be concerned if we are not gaining
greater power over the
sin which easily besets us? Shall we not be concerned if, we are not
more humble, more heavenly-minded, more gentle and forgiving, more
Christlike than we were?" (Biblical Illustrator)
