A religion that costs nothing is worth nothing. A cheap Christianity, without a cross
--will prove in the end to be a useless Christianity, without a crown.- J C Ryle
"An Australian home-owner came home one day to find that his house had collapsed; all that was left was a pile of dust and rubble. It transpired that, unbeknown to him, white ants has been eating away at the foundations and supporting timbers of the house for years. Everything had continued to look normal on the outside, but internally the house was being gradually consumed, until one day it crashed to the ground destroyed by the tiny insects.
This is an illustration of what has been happening both within Western civilisation and within the professing church for a long time. The Judeo-Christian heritage and foundations of Western society have been subjected to such undermining under the influence of secularism, materialism, and multi-culturalism. At the same time many ‘ants’ have been at work within the church, calling in question teachings and practices that had been taken for granted for many generations." —David J. Randall, 'A Sad Departure'
Look to the cross, and hate your sin--for sin nailed your Well-Beloved to the accursed tree!- C H Spurgeon
