R. C. Sproul:

“The idea of holiness is so central to biblical teaching that it is said of God, “Holy is his name” (Luke 1:49). His name is holy because He is holy. He is not always treated with holy reverence. His name is tramped through the dirt of this world. It functions as a curse word, a platform for the obscene.”

3. HOW MAN CAN  GOD’S NAME

Martin Luther King Jr.:

“A just law is a man-made code that squares with the moral law of God. To put it in terms of Thomas Aquinas, ‘an unjust law is a human law that is not rooted in eternal law.”

G. K. Chesterton: “The only strong argument against Christianity is Christians.”

Philippians 2:8-11

Doctor Walter Brooks:

“I was born a slave and I saw my father, mother and sister sold on the auction blocks as slaves, as property to be held by their owners forever. I lay this wreath at the feet of my emancipator Abraham Lincoln.”
