• There are lawful things, real joys, which, however, do not belong to priesthood-joys which flow from God’s blessings, and which do not keep the flesh in check as does His presence; for there is always a certain restraint on the heart, on nature and its activity, produced by the presence of God. But priesthood is exercised before Him. (“Leviticus 10” by J.N. Darby)
