October 22 Morning Quotes of The Day

What Has Athens to Do with Jerusalem?
Acts 3:5; Colossians 2:8

What indeed has Athens to do with Jerusalem? What concord is there between the Academy and the Church? What between heretics and Christians? Our instruction comes from “the porch of Solomon,” who had himself taught that “the Lord should be sought in simplicity of heart.” Away with all attempts to produce a mottled Christianity of Stoic, Platonic, and dialectic composition! We want no curious disputation after possessing Christ Jesus, no inquisition after enjoying the gospel!

God Has Many Ways of Bringing People Home
Psalm 22:28; John 3:8; Philippians 2:13

God has various ways of bringing His children home; His sacred Spirit blows when, and where, and how it pleases.
