“The home is God’s greatest agency for the transmission of His Word from one generation to another. This responsibility cannot be passed on to any other person, or persons, or to any other agency. It cannot be shirked except at painful loss to the never dying souls of the children and all concerned.”
“We need leaders who themselves love the country and the freedoms of this country more than they love themselves and their own careers or reputations or ‘legacies’.”
“Our country is in danger, but do not despair. The fortunes of America depend on you. You are to decide the important questions upon which rests the happiness and the liberty of millions yet unborn. Act worthy of yourselves.”
~ Dr. Joseph Warren (1741-1775).
It's time for this generation to speak up and pray up!
"I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her commodious harbors and her ample rivers . . . and it was not there . . . in her fertile fields and boundless forest . . . and it was not there . . . in her rich mines and her vast world commerce . . . and it was not there . . . in her democratic Congress and her matchless Constitution . . . and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits FLAME WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great."
~ Democracy in America by Alexis De Tocqueville (about 1835 -1840)
‘We have problems in this country, and many people are waiting on God to do something. I just wonder if maybe God isn’t waiting for us to do something. And while no one is capable of doing everything, everyone is capable of doing something.”
“We ask you to give victory to your church all over the world. Oh Mighty One, look down upon the heathen, and see how their gods stand riveted to their thrones. CAST THEM DOWN, O CHRIST! You who have cast out the dragon, cast down these inferior powers of darkness until not an idol god shall be left. Amen.”
"Make no mistake. We as Bible-believing Christians are locked in a battle. This is not a friendly gentleman’s discussion. It is a life and death conflict between the spiritual hosts of wickedness and those who claim the name of Christ. It is a conflict between two fundamentally opposed views of truth and reality."
“Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their own appetites . . . Society cannot exist, unless a controlling power be placed somewhere . . . It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things that men of intemperate minds cannot be free. Their passions forge their fetters.”
