A mirror reflects the image of a man, but not his spirit. The Bible reflects the spirit of a man, but not his image. Michael Haigh
I have lived, Sir, a long time, and the longer I live, the more convincing proofs I see of this truth – that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice, is it probable that an empire can arise without His aid? Benjamin Franklin

PROGRESSIVES: The correct term for people who progressively remove individual freedoms and privileges from the masses. Progressives are continually changing laws, thoughts, and moral discernment little by little — there a little — here a little — progressively changing a nation to a regressive state of totalitarianism. Progressivism doesn’t improve nations, it controls nations. Mary Haigh
The unregenerate world cannot get up early enough to condemn the righteous, and in the same manner, they diligently work to make the unrighteous, righteous. Michael Haigh
God cannot lower His standards to suit our sinful ever declining ideas of morality and goodness. Michael Haigh
God has been dethroned in the church, and man’s authority has been set up . . . man’s authority without Christ’s gift makes a man a minister; whereas Christ’s gift without man’s authority does not. If this be not a dishonor done to the Lord Christ, what is? C. H. Mackintosh
Man believes that he is in control of his own destiny. This belief makes man’s will supreme and attempts to dethrone God; however, it is the will of God that is supreme, and human destiny is settled by his Creator. Mary Haigh

When religions fight against religions — then God is lost sight of altogether. Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, (Romans 1:21, 22) for God cannot be divided, and this evil has only one conclusion — the confusion of the masses. Jesus said, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. (Matthew 7: 21, 22, 23) Excerpt by Michael Haigh

Every few weeks there is another award program; wherein man heaps praises upon himself, making themselves important in their own eyes. Mary Haigh
Man can communicate faith, but one cannot impute faith to another. You cannot inherit faith, it is by the divine movement of God the Holy Spirit into the heart of man. Michael Haigh
The carnal mind is enmity against God: resenting His authority, disliking His Holiness, hating His Sovereignty, and condemning His justice. A. Pink.
Hold fast the standard of the truth of God, and do not accept anything less; even though you may be alone. C.H. Mackintosh
