Quotes by D. Barkley Briggs  (?)

“Hope never stands alone,” he said in a dry, husky voice. “It is born of valor and perseverance. It rides the back of courage.”
D. Barkley Briggs, The Book of Names

“The double-minded, the complainer, the lazy, the self-centered, these will never complete the hard road. Every sky has rain. Every journey has a hard road.”
D. Barkley Briggs, The Song of Unmaking

“since when have you known any truth to be popular? Eh? Since when have you seen truth revered above all other considerations? Will crowds follow the man of truth, or flee?”
D. Barkley Briggs, Corus the Champion

“This is our part in spiritual war. We proclaim Christ's truth by praying it, speaking it and (undoubtedly most importantly) by demonstrating it. We are not to accept with sere pious resignation the evil aspects of our world as "coming from a father's hand." Rather, following the example of our Lord and Savior, and going forth with the confidence that he has in principle already defeated his (and our) foes, we are to revolt against the evil aspects of our world as coming from the devil's hand. Our revolt is to be broad--as broad as the evil we seek to confront, and as broad as the work of the cross we seek to proclaim. Wherever there is destruction, hated, apathy, injustice, pain or hopelessness, whether it concerns God's creation, a structural feature of society, or the physical, psychological or spiritual aspect of an individual, we are in word and deed to proclaim to the evil powers that be, "You are defeated." As Jesus did, we proclaim this by demonstrating it. ”
Gregory A. Boyd, God at War: The Bible & Spiritual Conflict
