The church has failed to follow her appointed pathway of separation, holiness, heavenliness and testimony to an absent but coming Christ; she has turned aside from the purpose to the work of civilizing the world, building magnificent temples, and acquiring earthly power and wealth, and, in this way, has ceased to follow in the footsteps of Him who had not where to lay His head. C. I. Scofield

They foolishly cling to the fallacy that God’s truth, God’s Holiness, God’s righteousness and God’s judgment cannot equally co-exist eternally with God’s love. Mary Haigh
