“The hope of a Christian is inseparable from his faith. Whoever believes in the divine inspiration of the Holy Scriptures must hope that the religion of Jesus shall prevail throughout the earth. Never since the foundation of the world have the prospects of mankind been more encouraging to that hope than they appear to be at the present time. And may the associated distribution of the Bible proceed and prosper till the Lord shall have made 'bare His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God' (Isaiah 52:10).” WorldBelieveMayMadeEndsInspirationEyeEarthChristianJesusNationsLordMankindDivineArmsHolyFoundationSalvationScriptureDistributionInseparableProspectsPresent TimeHoly ScripturesDivine Inspiration Author:John Quincy Adams
“Little do the devout worshippers of the Vatican suspect, when they lift up their eyes in mute adoration upon the head of their God on Earth, the Pope, that what they admire, is after all, but the caricatured head-dress, the Amazon-like helmet of Pallas Athene, the heathen goddess Minerva! In fact, there is scarcely a rite or ceremony of the christian Church that does not descend from Occultism.” LittlesDoeFactsEyeEarthChristianReligionChurchDressesAdmireLiftsSuspectsGoddessPopeCeremonyAdorationAmazonMuteRiteHelmetChristian ChurchHeathenWorshippersMinerva Author:H.

Do not think it necessary to pronounce many words.” ThinkingHeartLongEarthChristianLife IsDesirePrayerPrayingGoodnessEternalApproachCreatorCeaseChristian LifeTendenciesThirst Author:Francois Fenelon
“The Platonists and their Christian successors held the peculiar notion that the Earth was tainted and somehow nasty, while the heavens were perfect and divine.

“It will be an ill day when our brethren take to bragging and boasting and call it 'testimony to the victorious Christian life.' We trust that holiness will be more than ever the aim of believers, but not the boastful holiness which has deluded some of the excellent of the earth into vain glory, and under which their firmest friends shudder for them.” LifeEarthChristianGloryAimIllBelieverChristian LifeVainExcellentHolinessTestimonyBoastBrethrenBraggingDeluded Author:Charles Spurgeon
