“The Emperor Constantine, who lifted Christianity into power, murdered his wife Fausta, and his eldest son Crispus, the same year that he convened the Council of Nice to decide whether Jesus Christ was a man or the Son of God. The council decided that Christ was consubstantial with the father. This was in the year 325. We are thus indebted to a wife-murderer for settling the vexed question of the divinity of the Savior.” MenYearsReligionFatherJesusChristChristianityNiceWifeSonJesus ChristDecidedCorruptionSettlingDivinitySaviorMurdererCouncilEmperorIndebtedEldestConstantineEldest SonEmperor Constantine Book:The Works of Robert G.

“Our mistake is that we want God to send revival on our terms. We want to get the power of God into our hands, to call it to us that it may work for us in promoting and furthering our kind of Christianity. We want still to be in charge, guiding the chariot through the religious sky in the direction we want it to go, shouting "Glory to God," but modestly accepting a share of the glory for ourselves in a nice inoffensive sort of way. We are calling on God to send fire on our altars, completely ignoring the fact that they are OUR altars and not God's.” WayWantKindMayStillsFactsHandsTermReligiousMistakeAcceptingChristianityFireNiceSkyShareCallingGloryPromotingRevivalAltarsShoutingGlory Of GodPower Of GodChariots Author:Aiden Wilson Tozer
