"Corporate repentance is true “depth repentance”, and is the only true kind that will enable me to “grow up” into Christ. If Christ experienced corporate repentance “in behalf of the human race,” are we so much better than He that we don’t need it?" ~Paul E. Penno
“Why is there in the hand of a fool the purchase price of wisdom, since he has no heart for it?” Proverbs 17:16. Or, of what use to offer freedom from sin to a man incapable of appreciating goodness? ~Ellet J. Waggoner
