"If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the truth of God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at the moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christ. Where the battle rages, there the loyalty of the soldier is proved, and to be steady on all the battlefield besides, is mere flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point."~ Matin Luther

"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)
May our pulpits FLAME WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS again!

A prayer for the church from Charles Spurgeon:“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.”
