The Christian Can Hope Perfectly

Geerhardus Vos on the Christian’s hope
  • The Editor
  • March 3, 2021
"But the Christian’s hope is positive. His youth is like that of the heir who knows precisely what awaits him. No, more than this, the Christian has the assurance which no heir in temporal things can ever have. He knows with absolute certainty that the inheritance will not merely be kept for him, but that he will be kept for it."

"When the evolutionists understand all these terrible situations to be atavism, to be the outworking of an animal-like past, then they undermine the concept of sin, turn wickedness into a sickness, change the sense of guilt into an illusion, turn prisons into hospitals, and they thereby do an injustice to the animal world. For animals do not live as people often live with and among each other."

Morals are first exercised in the family
  • The Editor
  • May 14, 2020
"No matter what interest may induce people to form a connection with each other, these are always people who are morally responsible and may not do whatever they may happen to desire or want."

Resurrection: A Final Word Amidst Much Chatter

Man cannot now completely destroy himself
  • rah
  • May 4, 2020
Ironically, mysticism is the last refuge of the hopeless; and an ethereal experience is the last invention of the mind; but neither of these will finally suffice for hearts. From deep within, men and women want to live, even as they chase after death to do just that.
