Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Curse of God Against Political Atheism: With Some of the Lessons of the Tragedy at Harper´s Ferry: A Discourse If thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light: but if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. - Matt. VI: 22, 23. The purpose makes the man, and as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. If for God in his heart, then for God everywhere; if for self and the world in his heart, then for self everywhere. Principle and Expediency are the watchwords that divide the world as truly and thoroughly as light and darkness, sin and holiness. But expediency assumes the form and reputation of principle, and carries a great part of the world on the side of wrong, under the profession of wisdom and conservatism, teaching the right. The conflict is fundamental. A selfish expediency is the native habit of mankind, and the first battle against it is when a man is converted from the power of Satan unto God. When he comes under the government of righteous principle, and makes the will of God his rule, instead of consulting and obeying what is, or seems to be, expedient in his own view for his own interest, or convenient for his own will and pleasure, he is a converted man - a true Christian. He cannot be a Christian, and remain on both sides the fence, a time-server. "Ye cannot serve God and Mammon." He cannot be a Christian and remain on the fence, waiting to jump with the tide of popular applause, or at the suggestion of expediency, and, until that decision, serving neither God nor Mammon. He is always, however he may stand in this world, and seem to be facing both ways in the sight of man, on one side or the other with God, either for him or against him. We shall follow our text in its two great applications, first to our personal, second to our social and civil or political being and life.
