John Nelson Darby · Bochim

But say some, "it is not the time for humiliation and prayer, but for action." Stay! Is not the first action of the Spirit of God to draw us to our knees to confess as our own failure with which we have to do, and the sorrowful and general declension which has laid us open to it? Till we have been to Bochim we have not vindicated God against ourselves.
