The ways of the Lord are different from the ways of man. Man's ways remove people from office or business when they grow old or become disabled. But man's ways are not and never will be the Lord's ways.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Differences exist in practice and organization between the Lord's Church and man-made institutions.
The Lord has a way of working in our lives, and sometimes he brings us down low to bring new values back to our life.
The Lord works from the inside out. The world works from the outside in. The world would take people out of the slums. Christ takes the slums out of people, and then they take themselves out of the slums.
The work of the Lord is done by ordinary people who work in an extraordinary way.
The quality of the Lord's church on earth, cannot be seen by any man, so long as he lives in the world, still less how the church in process of time has turned aside from good to evil.
I can make a lord, but only God can make a gentleman.
Men cannot make Scripture conform to their lifestyle; they must make their lifestyle conform to Scripture.
God leaves to Man the choice of Forms in Government; and those who constitute one Form, may abrogate it.
God never made His work for man to mend.
Man is not the lord of beings. Man is the shepherd of Being.
