Hi Jake Thank you for this gem from Penn. This is not a 'back-handed compliment' but there is something about the gentle boldness of these men which almost has me on my chair cheering.
If there are forum readers who have not yet read No Cross, No Crown by William Penn, it ought to go high on your list. (For readers from Pennsylvania is ought to be obligatory ;-) )
Thanks again Jake, _________________ Ron Bailey

| Re: Napoleon's Faith | | I know men, and I tell you that Jesus is not a man. The religion of Christ is a mystery which subsists by its own force, and proceeds from a mind which is not a human mind. We find in it a marked individuality, which originated a train of words and actions unknown before. Jesus is not a philosopher, for His proofs are miracles, and from the first His disciples adored Him. Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne and myself founded empires; but on what foundation did we rest the creatures of our genius? Upon force. But Jesus Christ founded an empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for Him. I die before my time, and my body will be given back to the earth to become food for worms. Such is the fate of him who has been called the great Napoleon. What an abyss between my deep misery and the eternal kingdom of Christ, which is proclaimed, loved, adored, and is still existing over the whole earth! Then, turning to Gen. Bertrand, the emperor added: If you do not perceive that Jesus Christ is God, I did wrong in appointing you a general.
Napoleon Bonaparta
Really great statement! I was amazed when read that these words are from Napoleon. (hmm maybe someone knows more about this ?!) |

Online! | Re: | | Revival is a renewed conviction of sin and repentance, followed by an intense desire to live in obedience to God. It is giving up one's will to God in deep humility. -Charles Finney
