Root Religion
Ephesians 3:17
That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,


The being of a grace must go before the increase of it; for there is no growth without life, no building without a foundation. Put a dry stick into the ground, and dress and water it as much as you will, it will continue the same until it rot; but set a living plant by the side of it, and though much less at first, yet it soon begins to shoot, and in time becomes a wide-spreading tree.

(J. Stoughton.)
