I long for the day when the precepts of the
Christian religion shall be the rule among
all classes of men, in all transactions.
I often hear it said, "Do not bring religion into
politics." This is precisely where it ought to
be brought, and set there in the face of all men
as on a candlestick.
I would have the Cabinet and the members of
Parliament do the work of the nation as before
the Lord, and I would have the nation, either
in making war or peace, consider the matter
by the light of righteousness.
We are to deal with other nations about this or that
upon the principles of the New Testament. -Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) _Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit_, Volume 27 [1881]

Printing money is merely taxation in another
form. Rather than robbing citizens of their
money, government robs their money of its
purchasing power.
Many people assume that if government provides the
funds we can spend our way back to prosperity.
However, it's not money we lack but production.
If the government simply prints money and doles it
out, we will not be able to buy more stuff; we will
simply pay higher prices.
The only way to buy more is to produce more. It is
production that creates purchasing power, not the
printing press!-Peter Schiff (1963- ) _Daily Markets_ [March 28, 2009], "Obama Printing Money To Jumpstart US Economy - Will It Help?"

"To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with Me on My throne!" Revelation 3:21
Jesus Christ is an ENTHRONED King! But, beloved, this is not all; Christ not only sits there Himself--but He has promised that all who overcome, shall sit down with Him upon His throne!Now, I wonder where there is any king but Christ, who allows his subjects to sit upon his throne with him. Alas! this would be treason for a man to attempt it! Oh, what a glorious King is Jesus! Every one of His poor subjects shall sit upon the throne with Him! One would think this very promise would draw the whole world after Christ! Oh! what great offers, and privileges, and honors Christ bestows upon all His poor followers! He not only makes them kings--but He brings them to sit upon His very throne with Him!O believer, you say that it would be an honor indeed, if could you but look into heaven, and merely to see Christ sit upon His throne! But this honor have all His saints; yes, much more--He makes them all kings, and grants to them to sit down with Him upon His throne!- William Dyer, "Christ's Famous Titles"
It is often said that the divided condition of Christendom is an evil, and so it is. But the evil consists in the existence of the errors which cause the divisions and not at all in the recognition of those errors when once they exist. - J. Gresham Machen

[In reading the Old Testament] you have learned that there is balm in Gilead, that there is a great Physician there; He has checked your fearful, mortal malady, and you shall live. You have looked to the brazen serpent, you are healed. You have sprinkled your door post with the blood of God’s atoning Lamb, and the angel of destruction will pass you by. You have fled to the city of refuge, and the destroyer cannot come near you. You have laid your sins by faith on your substitute and He has borne them away into the wilderness. You have bathed in the fountain that was opened in the house of King David for sin and for uncleanness, and the defilement of guilt has been washed away. You have brought to Jesus the writing that bound you as a servant of sin, and He has annulled it by nailing it to His cross.- John Broadus,Christian Joy.
