Our Churches: Their Life And Consecration
There is something unique about our Churches, for they are the most ancient and the most scriptural. We claim the true apostolic succession. We can give well-grounded reasons for our existence, for our customs and practices. They are not based upon human tradition nor do we follow the laws of expediency. We can show divine authority for the doctrines we hold and the ordinances we observe. Our Churches exist because God has founded them, and they continue because He dwells in them.

The Shepherd And Bishop Of Our Souls
Scripture allusions continually remind us, that salvation is ‘not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God who sheweth mercy.’ Therefore not unto us, not to our free will, but to thy free grace, oh Lord, be all the glory. Like that poor silly creature, a sheep, we naturally stray into all kind of danger, but are unapt to return of ourselves. We never should, unless the Shepherd sought us. ‘We have turned every one to his own way,’ have lost ourselves in the wilderness of sin, are wounded by the wolf of prey, blinded, by pride, self-will, and self-righteousness.
