DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thomas Brooks emphasizes the folly of relying on carnal reasoning over
faith, warning that those who let their reason dictate their faith will
face continual sorrow. He asserts that true freedom, holiness, and
happiness come from living a life of faith, which involves unwavering
trust in God even in difficult times. Brooks encourages believers to
cling to God and maintain obedience, regardless of their circumstances,
as faith leads to the highest expressions of life.

He who goes to school to his own carnal reason,

has a fool to his schoolmaster; and he who

allows his faith to be overruled by his reason,

shall never lack woe.

No man lives so free a life, so holy a life, so

heavenly a life, so happy a life--as he who

lives a life of faith. Now the soul is put upon

the highest and the purest acts of faith, that

is, to cleave to God, to hang upon God, and

to carry it sweetly and obediently towards

God, though He frowns, though He chides,

though He strikes, yes, though He kills! 'For

we walk by faith, and not by sight.' 2 Cor. 5:7
