Quotations You Can Use (October 26, 2012)

“Religion and democracy are founded on one basic principle, the worth and dignity of the individual man and woman. Dictatorship, on the other hand, is founded on the doctrine that the individual amounts to nothing; that the State is the only thing that counts; and that men and women and children were put on earth solely for the purpose of serving the State”–Harry Truman.

“You are but a poor soldier of Christ if you think you can overcome without fighting, and suppose you can have the crown without the conflict”–John Chrysostom (AD 347-407).

“Our enemies are constantly waging war against us and trying to keep us from claiming our inheritance in Jesus Christ. The world, the flesh, and the Devil (Eph. 2:1-3) are united against Christ and His people . . . It’s unfortunate that many of the “militant songs” of the church have been removed from some hymnals, apparently because the idea of warfare disturbs people and seems to contradict the words and works of Jesus Christ. But these zealous editors with scissors seem to have forgotten that the main theme of the Bible is God’s holy warfare against Satan and sin”–Warren Wiersbe, Be Strong: Putting God’s Power to Work in Your Life, 85.

“For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him” (2 Chronicles 16:9).

“Do not pray for easy lives; pray to be stronger. . . .Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers; pray for power equal to your tasks”–Phillips Brooks.

    1 Peter 2:13-17 “13) Submit to every human institution because of the Lord, whether to the emperor as the supreme authority, 14) or to governors as those sent out by Him to punish those who do evil and to praise those who do good. 15) For it is God’s will that you, by doing good, silence the ignorance of foolish people. 16) as God’s slaves, live as free people, but don’t use your freedom as a way to conceal evil. 17) Honor everyone. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor.”

    Regardless of what we do and how others see or reason our motivation, it is not hidden from the King of kings, Lord of lords. Whatsoever ye do, do not as unto man, but unto our Lord. Depend on the Faithful, for the burden of this life is one that is shared. AMEN

    Blessings!
