‘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.”
A prayer for the church from Charles Spurgeon:
"Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard thing, but to TURN IT INTO GLORY."
"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.”

“The raising of children is indeed the most important foundational stone in determining the destiny of any society or nation.
TELL HER SO
UNDEFEATED MEN is being launched by ARDEN ALLISON and CAL CALHOON. Here is their statement:
“Listen, I'm against sin. I'll kick it as long as I've got a foot, I'll fight it as long as I've got a fist, I'll butt it as long as I've got a head, and I'll bite it as long as I've got a tooth. And when I'm old, fistless, footless, and toothless, I'll gum it till I go home to glory and it goes home to perdition.”
"He knows not how to rule a kingdom, that cannot manage a province; nor can he wield a province, that cannot order a city; nor he order a city that knows not how to regulate a village. Nor he a village, that cannot guide a family; nor can that man govern well a family that knows not how to govern himself; neither can any govern himself unless reason be lord, will and appetite her vassal; nor can reason rule unless herself be ruled by God, and (wholly) obedient to him."
“A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them CANNOT BE ENSLAVED. It is in the religion of ignorance that tyranny begins.”
“Men, in a word, must necessarily be controlled, either by a power within them, or by a power without them; either by the word of God, or by the strong arm of man; either by the Bible, or by the bayonet.”
"If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering; but if we and our posterity neglect its instruction and authority, no man can tell how suddenly a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity.”
“We have staked the whole future of the American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to sustain ourselves, according to the Ten Commandments of God.”
“A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor bread it has earned – this is the sum of good government.”
“All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from their despising or neglecting the precepts contained in the Bible.”
“Patriotism is as much a virtue as justice, and is as necessary for the support of societies as natural affection is for the support of families. The amor patriae (love of country) is both a moral and a religious duty. It comprehends not only the love of our neighbors but of millions of our fellow creatures, not only of the present but of future generations.”
