The eyes of the world are upon us. They don't read the Bible, but they read you and me, and we talk more by our walk than in any other way.
Ignorance of the Bible is the root of all errors. Knowledge of the Bible is the best antidote against modern heresies. -

At the conclusion of a million years in hell, the unbeliever will be no closer to the end of their torment than when they first arrived. Can you bear to think on this reality & sit idly by while those around you die apart from Christ? "Stamp eternity on my eyeballs." ~Edwards

The more parental teaching the better; ministers and Sabbath-school teachers were never meant to be substitutes for mothers' tears and fathers' prayers. -
