“There are always people in society who are oppose the good” (Page 24)
“This is the place we are to shine. This means our light is to shine in public. We are to shine everywhere, not just in church on Sundays, but we are to shine at work or at school during the week. Of course, being ‘before men’ says we can expect hostility at times. We may get more brickbats than bouquets for shining. People in the dark often oppose a light (bars are often dark), but opposition and lack of acceptance and appreciation for our holiness is not to hinder the shining of the light. God commands us to live godly before mankind whether man likes it or not. It is what God likes that should guide our conduct.” (Page 122)
“Modern day Philistines stop the wells of the Gospel with the dirt of modernism that denies the virgin birth, the inspiration of the Scripture, the deity of Christ, the need of salvation by all, and other important truths. Modern day Philistines stop the wells of holiness by their filthy pornography and dirty magazines. Modern day Philistines in our churches stop the wells of every program to advance the water of life to needy souls.” (Page 24)
“We need to call sin by its right names. Abortion is pro-murder not pro-choice. Homosexuality is an abominable lifestyle not an alternative lifestyle. Gambling is wicked and harms society. It does not help society as the politicians think. Political-correct terminology is not holy terminology. It is wicked terminology that would take Christ out of Christmas and God out of the schools. The old names were truthful, not deceitful.” (Page 24)
