“We really are immortal in the sense that Christ’s Atonement conquers death, both physical and spiritual. And provided we have so lived Today that we have claim on the Atonement’s cleansing grace, we will live forever with God. This life is not so much a time for getting and accumulating as it is a time for giving and becoming. Mortality is the battlefield upon which justice and mercy meet. But they need not meet as adversaries, for they are reconciled in the Atonement of Jesus Christ for all who wisely use Today.” NeedsGivingUseTodaySpiritualLife IsJesusChristJusticeForeverGraceBecomingJesus ChristMercyClaimsConquerThis LifeImmortalMortalityAdversariesBattlefieldsAtonementLive ForeverCleansingJustice And Mercy Author:Lance B.

“Nothing but the cross of Christ can so startle the spiritual nature from its torpor, as to make it an effectual counterpoise to the debasing and sensual tendencies of the race. Favored by temperament and education, individuals may measurably escape; but if the race is to triumph in the conflict between the flesh and the spirit, between the lower propensities and the higher nature, they must, as Constantine is said to have done, see the cross, and on it the motto, "In hoc signo vinces." By this sign we conquer.” IfsMaySaidDoneSpiritualSpiritIndividualChristRaceHigherConflictCrossesFleshTendenciesSensualConquerTriumphMottoTemperamentPropensitySpiritual NatureConstantine Book:BACCALAUREATE SERMONS, AND OCCASIONAL DISCOURSES Source: BACCALAUREATE SERMONS, AND OCCASIONAL DISCOURSES
“Nature does not conquer the world to God. It never has. It never will. In America, with its vast abounding wealth, its grand expanse of prairie, its reach of river, and its exuberant productiveness, there is danger that our riches will draw us away from God, and fasten us to earth; that they will make us not only rich, but mean; not only wealthy, but wicked. The grand corrective is the cross of Christ, seen in the sanctuary where the life and light of God are exhibited, and where the reverberation of the echoes from the great white throne are heard.” WorldMeanDoeLightEarthAmericaChristWealthWhiteRichHeardDangerDrawsRiversCrossesRichesConquerWickedWealthyEchoesThronesSanctuaryPrairieExpanseConquer The WorldReverberation Author:Richard Salter Storrs
