Here is found the most fundamental difference between liberalism and Christianity - liberalism is altogether in the imperative mood, while Christianity begins with a triumphant indicative; liberalism appeals to man's will, while Christianity announces, first, a gracious act of God.
- J. Gresham Machen (Christianity and Liberalism, Chapter 2: Doctrine)
Veni, Domine Jesu - Come, Lord Jesus
"Turn to me and be saved, all the ends of the earth! For I am God, and there is no other.
By myself I have sworn; from my mouth has gone out in righteousness a word that shall not return:
To me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear allegiance." - Isaiah 45:22-23 (ESV)
"Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts" - Psalm 95:7b-8a (ESV)
"Blessed is the one whose transfression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man against whom the LORD counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit." - Psalm 32:1-2 (ESV)
"Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts" - Psalm 95:7b-8a (ESV)
