“It is recorded of Jesus that He was "born King of the Jews" (Mt. 2:2). To this throne He made final claim at His trial (Mt. 27:11). And under this accusation He suffered (Mt. 27:29) and died (Mt. 27:37). One needs only to search the Scriptures to discover the fact that He is never mentioned as King of the church, nor King of the nations until He comes again as "King of kings, and Lord of lords" (Rev. 19:16).”

“John Adams, in a letter to his wife Abigail in 1777, reminds us of the charge we have to ensure that the gift of Liberty is not squandered. “Posterity! you will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.”

“The New Testament reveals the present age as a parenthesis in the prophetic program during which the Church is called out from among the Gentiles, a stranger and pilgrim body, belonging to the kingdom of God, but in no sense identical with the kingdom of heaven.”

“I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.”
