accessory to the damnation of others also? ~

The Bible
does not ask to be vindicated. Its only demand is that it be proclaimed. A Bible ministry is one that proclaims
God’s Word with unfaltering courage and strict fidelity. Such a ministry
shuts itself up to God’s Word and does not go outside of it. ~
E. M. Bounds Powerful
and Prayerful Pulpits, pg. 60,62 |

Controversy,
though not desirable in itself, yet, properly managed, has a hundred times

The
design and object of the incarnation and sacrifice of Christ was to condemn
sin, to have it executed and destroyed, NOT to tolerate it as some think, or
to render it subservient to the purposes of His grace, but to annihilate its
power, guilt, and being in the soul of a believer. ~
Adam Clarke |
|
We must
have Divine love imparted into our hearts, by the operation of the Holy
Spirit, before we can truly and Scripturally love God. ~
G. D. Watson Our Own God, pg. 33 |
|
It
is the divine order that truth of every kind should fully reveal itself only
to hungry souls. The long research and
the hot pursuit whet the appetite, and prepare the discoverer for a proper
appreciation of the treasure which he has found. The more valuable the truth, the higher the
barriers which hedge it in and appall all timid seekers, leaving the toilsome
search to those dauntless souls whose unconquerable persistence makes all
opposition bow before them. ~ Daniel Steele Milestone Papers pg
23. |

If facing the facts is to be called a pessimist, I am willing to be called a pessimist. If in order to be an optimist one must shut his
eyes and call black white, and error truth,
and sin righteousness, and death life, I don't want to be called an optimist. ~ R. A. Torrey How to Pray pg.46 |
|
Any
error may be founded on parts of Scripture; the truth alone is based on the
whole. Marcion’s errors were the inevitable result of his accepting only what
pleased him and rejecting the rest. Marcion was a heretic of
the 1st & 2nd century who taught that Jesus did not
come in the flesh. ~ E. H. Broadbent The |
|
There
are many who ask for the truth, but few who like to hear it. ~ Hans Denck 14th

Religion
will always mar the image of Christ. ~Britt Williams Pastor: Consuming Fire Fellowship |
|
I
find no such sin as legality in the Bible: The very use of the term speaks an
Antinomian. I defy all liberty, but liberty to love and serve God; and fear no
bondage, but bondage to sin. ~
John Wesley Works
Vol. XII, pg 415. |
|
To
surrender to the world of fashion, at the expense of modesty, betrays a
spineless faith which knows nothing of the call to holiness. ~

Christian Family, pg 77 |

Could a mariner sit idle if he heard
the drowning cry?
Could a doctor sit in comfort and just
let his patients die?
Could a fireman sit idle, let men burn
and give no hand?
Can you sit at ease in
Around you DAMNED?
~Leonard Ravenhill
