“The Scripture abounds in commands and cautions for our utmost diligence in our search and inquiry as to whether we are made partakers of Christ or not, or whether His Spirit dwells in us or not-which argue both the difficulty of attaining an assured confidence herein, as also the danger of our being mistaken, and yet the certainty of a good issue upon the diligent and regular use of means to that purpose.”

We are to commit ourselves to Christ.”
“The scriptures are in print what Christ is in person.”

Humanitarian reforms such as the elimination of cruel punishment, the dissemination of empathy-inducing novels, and the abolition of slavery were met with fierce opposition in their time by ecclesiastical authorities and their apologists. The elevation of parochial values to the realm of the sacred is a license to dismiss other people’s interests, and an imperative to reject the possibility of compromise.”

Many people perished because man’s quest for knowledge had failed to heed the word of the Lord!”

In fact, we can consider the whole household in bodily terms, with the husband as the head and the wife and children as the various distinct members.”
