“You are born supernaturally through faith, by the grace of God, into the kingdom of righteousness; but you are born a little babe, that is all; and if you make any progress from that point on, it must be by work, by sacrifice, by the practice of Christian virtues, by benevolence, by self-denial, by resisting the adversary, by making valiant war for God and against sin; and on no other basis, am I authorized in giving you a hope that you may come to manhood in Christ Jesus.” IfsGivingMayLittlesWarSelfChristianSpiritualityJesusChristBornSinPracticeVirtueGraceProgressSacrificeBasesKingdomsDenialRighteousnessManhoodGrace Of GodAdversariesBenevolenceBabeResistingSelf-denialValiant Author:Charles Henry Fowler

You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure... Let us fight to free the world! To do away with national barriers!

“It would be easy to show that at our present rate of progress the kingdoms of this world never could become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ. Indeed, many in the Church are giving up the idea of it except on the occasion of the advent of Christ, which, as it chimes in with our own idleness, is likely to be a popular doctrine. I myself believe that King Jesus will reign, and the idols be utterly abolished. . . . The Holy Ghost would never suffer the imputation to rest upon His holy name that He was not able to convert the world.” WorldGivingBelieveIdeasShowsWould BeAbleSufferingJesusNamesEasyChristChurchLordProgressThis WorldKingsHolyGiving UpRateGhostKingdomsDoctrineOccasionsIdolsReignIdlenessOur LordHoly GhostAdventChimes Author:Charles Spurgeon
