Truth's Enemies
"The arch-enemy of truth has invited us to level our walls and take away
our fenced cities. He has cajoled some true-hearted but weak-headed believers
to advocate this crafty policy . . . `Away with creeds and bodies of
divinity!' This is the cry of the day. Ostensibly, it is reverence for
the Bible, and attachment to charity which dictates the clamorous denunciation;
but at the bottom it is hatred of definitive truth. . . . As Philip of Macedon
hated the Grecian orators because they were watchdogs of the flock, so there
are wolves who desire the destruction of our doctrinal formularies, that they
may make havoc of the souls of men by their pestilent heresies."
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Justification and Works
"While our works are naught as a ground of merit for justification, they
are all-important as evidences that we are justified."
Robert L. Dabney
