“To which Bible and Creation bear witness, until the nation pays homage again to Go”

Genius is a sovereign power; it forms schools; it lays hold on the spirits of men, with irresistible might; and it exercises an immeasurable influence on the whole condition of human life

How often has not the parallel been drawn and the golden age of the Roman Empire, when the external brilliancy of life likewise dazzled the eye

And, unable to grasp the holier benefits of religion, the mysticism of the heart reacts in the art-intoxication. ….

Do not bury our glorious orthodoxy in the treacherous pit of a spurious conservatism.

To have faith in the Word, Scripture must not grasp us in our critical thought, but in the life of the soul.

When the principles that run against your deepest convictions begin to win the day, then the battle is your calling, and peace has become sin.

Notwithstanding that the social diagnosis could yield no other verdict than ‘rotten to the very core’?

A charity which knows only how to give money is not yet Christian love. You will be free of guilt only when you also give your time, your energy, and your resourcefulness to help end such abuses for good,

On the other hand … by virtue of our natural impulse, we must ever watch against the danger which lurks for our personal liberty in the power of the state.

The question is not if the candidate’s heart is favorable to Christianity, but if he has Christ as his starting point even for politics, and will speak out His name!

There is not an inch of any sphere of life over which Jesus Christ does not say, ‘Mine.’

In this cold, irreligious and practical age the warmth of this devotion to art has kept alive many higher aspirations of our soul, which otherwise might readily have died, as they did in the middle of the last century.

The motive of art comes to us not from what exists, but from the notion that there is something higher, something nobler, something richer, and that what exists corresponds only partially to all of this.

The sovereignty of the state as the power that protects the individual and that defines the mutual relationships among the visible spheres, rises high above them by its right to command and compel.

I love the Bible. I read it every day. I spend 10 hours a week studying it. It has affected my life in profound ways. I am inspired when I read it.

Learning to read the Bible in the light of the times in which it was written is critical.

Don’t say God is silent when your Bible is closed. Open it and read it. God will speak.

The Bible is proved to be a revelation from God, by the reasonableness and holiness of its precepts

It is impossible, Bible in hand, to limit Christ’s Church to one’s own little community.

In the midst of our applauding the feats of civilization, the Bible flings itself like a knife slashing our complacency; remind us that God, too, has a voice in history.
