A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it" G K Chesterton
Popular capitalism, which is the economic expression of liberty, is a far more attractive means for diffusing power in our society. Socialists cry "Power to the people" & raise the clenched fist as they say it. We all know what they mean - power over people, power to the State.- Margaret Thatcher@MrsMThatcher
A thorough and clear sight of Jesus my Lord, will make me happy forevermore.-Samuel Rutherford
You have brought me, gracious God, through the year. Accept my thanks. I trust you for what you have withheld as I bless you for what you have given. May goodness & mercy follow me throughout ... life & bring me at last to the house of the Lord, where I shall be with you forever. - F B Meyer

Quotes Dec 28
"As we ourselves have run down the hill with the shepherds, looked at the baby, and heard the shepherds' testimony, have we believed? If we have, that is a happy thing indeed, for it means we are now Christians. That is fine, but then we must ask ourselves: what difference has this looking made in our present lives?" ~ Dr. Francis Schaeffer, No Little People, What Difference Has Looking Made? (A Christmas Study)

Quotes Dec 27
True knowledge of God corresponds to what faith discovers in the written Word.—John Calvin
And Then all countries and nations, even those which are now at most ignorant, shall be full of life knowledge. Great knowledge shall prevail everywhere. It may be hoped that then many of the Negroes and Indians Will be divines and that excellent books Will be published in Africa, in Ethiopia in Tartary, and other now most barbarous country and not only learned men but, others, of more ordinary education shall then be very knowing in religion. Jonathan Edwards, The history of redemption- (So are we now in his millennium?)
If Jesus be merely an example, He is not a worthy example; for He claimed to be far more.- J. Gresham Machen@jg_machen

Quotes Dec 26
Merry Christmas. Christmas is built upon a beautiful and intentional paradox; that the birth of the homeless should be celebrated in every home.– G.K. Chesterton,
Then shall the many nations of Africa, Home now seem to be in a state but little above the beasts and in many respects much bellow them, revisit kid glorious light and delivered from all the darkness and shall become a civil, Christian, understanding and holding people. Then shall the vast continent of America, which now in great part is covered with barbarous ignorance and cruelty, be everywhere covered with glorious Gospel light and Christian love, and indeed instead of worshipping the devil as now they do, they shall serve God and praises shall be sung everywhere to the Lord Jesus Christ, the blessed saviour of the world. So we may expect it will be in that great and populous part of the world, the East Indies, which are now mostly inhabited by the worshippers of the devil.- Jonathan Edwards, The history of redemption (So are we now in his millennium?)
“Being on the moon had a profound spiritual impact upon my life. Before I entered space with the Apollo 15 mission in July of 1971, I was a lukewarm Christian, to say the least! I was even a silent Christian, but I feel the Lord sent me to the moon so I could return to the earth and share his Son, Jesus Christ. The entire space achievement is put in proper perspective when one realizes that God walking on the earth is more important than man walking on the moon. I believe that God walked on the earth 2,000 years ago in the person of Jesus Christ. I have totally yielded my life to the Lord’s service to tell people everywhere about the life-changing message of Christ.” Colonel Jim Irwin, Commander of the Apollo 15 mission and the 8th man to walk on the moon.
“I will not convert. I believe in my religion and Jesus Christ. And why should I be the one to convert and not you?” Asia Bibi boldly asks staring her executioners in the face.”... The only Western leaders to welcome persecuted Christians are so-called far right, racist, nationalist, white supremacist, anti-immigrant, anti-open border, populists like Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini, who has offered Asia Bibi asylum in Italy. - NO ROOM IN THE INN FOR ASIA BIBI THIS CHRISTMAS, Jules Gomes

What am I the better if I can dispute that Christ is God, but have no sense of sweetness in my heart that he is a God in covenant with my soul? What will it avail me to evince, by testimonies and arguments, that he hath made satisfaction for sin, if it through my unbelief, the wrath of God abideth on me? ... Will it be any advantage to me, in the issue, to profess and dispute that God works the conversion of a sinner by the irresistible grace of his spirit, if I was never acquainted experimentally with the deadness and utter impotence to good ... which is in my own soul by nature? ... It is the power of truth in the heart alone that will make us cleave unto it indeed in an hour of temptation. Let us, then, not think that we are in anything the better for our conviction of the truths of the great doctrines of the gospel ... unless we find the power of the truths abiding in our all hearts.- John Owen Works, XII:52
