Cotton Mather (1639-1723) wrote of his long study and struggle, and finally his peaceful embrace of premillennialism; he urged others to do likewise.

David Beale

English Baptist John Gill (1697-1771) taught that Christ will reign over a glorious kingdom for a 'literal' thousand years 'on earth.'

David Beale

If I read the word of a right, and it is honest to admit that there is much room for difference of opinion here, the day will come, when the Lord Jesus will descend from heaven with a shout, with the trump of the archangel and the voice of God. Some think that this dissent of the Lord will be postmillennial, that is, after the thousand years of his reign. I cannot think so. I conceive that the advent will be premillennial, that is, he will come first, and then will come the millennium.

C. H. Spurgeon (1834-1892)

When the plain sense of Scripture makes common sense, seek no other sense.

Mark it down. No book or article that makes use of Charles G. Finney as an authoritative source on the topics of evangelism, prayer, or revival, or lists any work by Finney in the Bibliography can be imagined to be a serious or knowledgeable work.

John S. Waldrip

From their very infancy, encourage them [your children] to look up to you as the selectors of their companions.

John Angell James (1785-1859)

The want of discipline, wherever it exists, is supplied by confusion and domestic anarchy. Everything goes wrong in the absence of this. A gardener may sow the choicest seeds; but if he neglect to pluck up weeds and prune wild luxuriances, he must not expect to see his flowers grow or his garden flourish. So a parent may deliver the best instructions. But if he does not by discipline eradicate evil tempers, correct bad habits, repress rank corruptions, nothing excellent can be looked for. He may be a good prophet and a good priest; but if he be not also a good king, all else is vain. When once a man breaks his scepter or lends it to his children as a plaything, he may give up his hopes of success from a religious education... The misfortune in many families is that discipline is unsteady and capricious, sometimes carried even to tyranny itself, at [other times] relaxed into a total suspension of law, so that the children are at one time trembling like slaves, at others revolting like rebels; at one time groaning beneath an iron yoke, at others rioting in a state of lawless liberty. This is a most mischievous system, and its effects are generally Just what might be expected.

John Angell James on parenting

Wherever the Mohammedans have had a complete sway, wherever the Christians have been unable to resist them by the sword, Christianity has ultimately disappeared.
