“The greatest, strongest, mightiest plea for the church of God in the world is the existence of the Spirit of God in its midst, and the works of the Spirit of God are the true evidences of Christianity. They say miracles are withdrawn, but the Holy Spirit is the standing miracle of the church of God to-day.”

Charles Spurgeon (1834–1892) British preacher, author, pastor and evangelist

“A church that exists in the midst of a non-Christian social order is liable to be influenced through assimilation or reaction by the false ideas of the age.. The problem is to cast out the infection and to do this with proper humility. To stand aloof is no remedy, but a form of pride.”
