Even now no man can become truly Christian, free from human influence, and ruled only from above, unless, like Christ and the apostles, he is filled with the life, and nourished and built up on the words and examples, parables and types, of the Word of God. We must receive and retain their lessons, and by prayer assimilate them with our very being, in order that the spirit of the Bible and of the holy men of God may become our spirit. Then will the Word become, as the Psalmist says, a lamp to our feet and a light to our path; then shall we walk steadfastly and shall not stumble.

Otto Funcke — Otto Funcke, Pastor of the Friedenskirche in Bremen, Self-Will and God's Will; or, How to Discern What Is God's Will in the Perplexing Questions of Life, translated from the ninth edition by Elizabeth Stirling, with an introductory note by Rev.
