Bishop Noel Jones Quotes
John Locke said that it is one thing to show a man that he is in an error, and another to put him in possession of truth. It is easy to point out people’s faults. They are always so obvious. But this will never change the person. Better to put the truth in their hands. By the power of truth a life will change.
