Excerpt from Quench Not the Spirit
A man has lost his way in a dark and dreary mine. By the light of one candle which he carries in his hand, he is groping for the road to sunshine and to home. That light is essential to his safety.

"The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether." - Ps. xix. 9.
The judgments of the Lord are his revealed will contained in Holy Scripture, of which we say with David, "The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart, the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes."

The Union, as such, might deal with comme...

Excerpt from The Christian Philosopher Triumphing Over Death: A Narrative of the Closing Scenes of the Life of the Late William Gordon, M.D. F L. S. Of Kingston-Upon-Hull
