Christian Perspective “How entirely do just views of God’s Word and providence change the aspects of every thing. He, who has any right views, would rather be with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the furnace, or with Daniel in the lions’ den than with Nebuchadnezzar on the throne. Paul, bound with a chain, was far more to envied than Nero wearing the imperial purple. Paul and Silas were far from being the most unhappy men in Philippi the night their feet were in the stocks. There are two sides to every providence.”     -- William Plumer (1802-1880) ------------------- “What I paint, I paint for eternity.  So it is with every man and woman in the exercise of godliness, it is of eternal concernment; we pray, we hear for eternity, we read, we sing, we watch, we fast, we live, we die for eternity; oh, how exactly, how diligently, should all be done!” -- George Swinnock (1627-1673) -------------- “The way to make godly parishes, and godly countries, and godly kingdoms, is to make godly families.” -- George Swinnock (1627-1673)
