“A course of sinning is not consistent with a course of
godliness. Though the needle of the seaman’s compass
may jog this way and that way—yet the bent of the
needle will still be northward. Just so, though a Christian
may have his particular sinful joggings this way or that
way—yet the bent of his heart will still be . . .
God-wards,
Christ-wards,
heaven-wards,
holiness-wards”
-Thomas Brooks
