“Of course the introduction of conscription at this stage did not give us an army. It only applied to the men of twenty years of age; they had still to be trained; and after they had been trained they had still to be armed.”

“The church is a signpost of God’s coming kingdom (Eph. 3:10), a preview to the watching world of what the reign of God in Christ is to look like, a colony of the kingdom coming.”
― Russell D. Moore, Onward: Engaging the Culture without Losing the Gospel

“Everyone will be forgotten, nothing we do will make any difference, and all good endeavours, even the best, will come to naught.

Unless there is God. If the God of the Bible exists, and there is a True Reality beneath and behind this one, and this life is not the only life, then every good endeavour, even the simplest ones, pursued in response to God's calling, can matter forever.”
― Timothy Keller, Every Good Endeavor: Connecting Your Work to God's Work

“A prosperity gospel applied to a nation is no more biblical than a prosperity gospel applied to a person.”
― Russell D. Moore, Onward: Engaging the Culture without Losing the Gospel
