Eternal Salvation
Men who can drop their faith in the day of real emergency have never been really held by it. That is surely true; men who can drop their faith like a handkerchief have never known their faith as a strong and vital defense. . . . If our faith has ever meant anything vital, it will be as difficult to drop it as to drop our skin.
Alexander Maclaren (1826-1910) on 1 Corinthians 16.13
Christ or Chaos
The choice before us is plain, Christ or chaos, conviction or compromise, discipline or disintegration. I am rather tired of hearing about our rights and privileges as American citizens. The time is come, it now is, when we ought to hear about the duties and responsibilities of our citizenship. America’s future depends upon her accepting and demonstrating God’s government.
Peter Marshall Sr. (1902-1949), U. S. Senate Chaplain (1947-1949)
The Difference between Contending for the Faith and Being Contentious for the Faith
Don’t go about the world with your fist doubled up for fighting, carrying a theological revolver in the leg of your trousers.
