Online! | Re: | | "There is a spiritual force behind this world scene which, by means of "the things that are in the world," is seeking to enmesh men in its system. It is not merely against sin therefore that the saints of God need to be on their guard, but against the ruler of this world. God is building up his Church to its consummation in the universal reign of Christ. Simultainneously his rival is building up this world system to its vain climax in the reign of antichrist. How watchful we need to be lest at any time we be found helping Satan in the construction of that ill-fated kingdom."

| Re: | | Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
"Being poor in spirit indicates a measure of victory over vanity. The vast majority of people are blind to their own vanity, and therefore are not poor in spirit. Those who are poor in spirit are strong by God strengthening them. The poor in spirit have true humility before God. The poor in spirit understand God’s infinite power and greatness and also understand themselves to be nothing by comparison."

| Re: | | Any part of the human body can only be properly explained in reference to the whole body. And any part of the Bible can only be properly explained in reference to the whole Bible.
Where love is the compelling power, there is no sense of strain or conflict or bondage in doing what is right: the man or woman who is compelled by Jesus' love and empowered by His Spirit does the will of God from the heart.
Those who have been justified are now being sanctified; those who have no experience of present sanctification have no reason to suppose they have been justified.

Online! | Re: | | Is it not sad and intolerable hypocrisy that these poor people [the Lutherans] boast of having the Word of God, of being the true, Christian church, never remembering that they have entirely lost their sign of true Christianity? Although many of them have plenty of everything, go about in silk and velvet, gold and silver, and in all manner of pomp and splendor,
they allow many of their own poor and afflicted members to ask for alms. [They force] the poor, the hungry, the suffering, the elderly, the lame, the blind, and the sick to beg for bread at their doors. Oh preachers, dear preachers, where is the power of the Gospel you preach?
Where are the fruits of the Spirit you have received? - Anabaptist 16th century

Online! | Re: | | "The Christian overcomes the world. A tough battle: not one which carpet knights might win: no easy skirmish that he might win, who dashed to battle on some sunny day, looked at the host, then turned his courser's rein, and daintily dismounted at the door of his silken tentnot one which he shall gain, who, but a raw recruit today, puts on his regimentals, and foolishly imagines that one week of service will ensure a crown of glory. Nay, it is a life-long war..." -C.H. Spurgeon _________________ SI Moderator - Brandy Gordon
