We must never allow the authority of books, institutions, or leaders to replace the authority of KNOWING Jesus Christ personally and directly.

When a man is in God's grace and free from mortal sin, then everything that he does, so long as there is no sin in it, gives God glory and what does not give him glory has some, however little, sin in it.

There is never a works-plus-grace relationship with Him.
