“The Reverend Douglas Wilson may not be a professional historian, as his detractors say, but he has a strong grasp of the essentials of the history of slavery and its relation to Christian doctrine. Indeed, sad to say, his grasp is a great deal stronger than that of most professors of American history, whose distortions and trivializations disgrace our college classrooms. And the Reverend Mr. Wilson is a fighter, especially effective in defense of Christianity against those who try to turn Jesus' way of salvation into pseudo-moralistic drivel.” WayTryingMayChristianTurnsJesusStrongDealsChristianityCollegeEssentialsRelationStrongerSlaverySalvationDefenseDoctrineFighterProfessorsHistorianClassroomAmerican HistoryDisgraceDistortionWilsonPseudoReverendsChristian DoctrineDrivel Author:Eugene Genovese
“Be careful, dear friends, that you do not misrepresent God yourselves. You who murmur; you who say that God deals hardly with you, you give God an ill character; when you look so melancholy, worldlings say, "The religion of Jesus is intolerable;" and so you stain the honor of God.” GivingLooksCharacterJesusDealsHonorDearIllCarefulMelancholyBe CarefulStainsDear Friend Author:Charles Spurgeon
“The gospel is saying that, what man cannot do in order to be accepted with God, this God Himself has done for us in the person of Jesus Christ. To be acceptable to God we must present to God a life of perfect and unceasing obedience to his will. The gospel declares that Jesus has done this for us. For God to be righteous he must deal with our sin. This also he has done for us in Jesus. The holy law of God was lived out perfectly for us by Christ, and its penalty was paid perfectly for us by Christ. The living and dying of Christ for us, and this alone is the basis of our acceptance with God” MenPersonsDoneLawOrderJesusChristSinPerfectDealsDyingAcceptanceHolyJesus ChristBasesPaidAcceptedObedienceAcceptableRighteousPenalties Author:Graeme Goldsworthy
“The crucifixion saved him [Jesus]. He never had to deal with the fact that the kingdom of God wasn't ever going to come. His disciples, of course, had to deal with it, and little by little they had to realize that it's a metaphorical thing. Well, that's not what Jesus meant. I'm fairly sure he meant it literally.
