Loose Stones in the Foundation

“// is dangero2is when foundation-stones lie loose? Indeed it is. Never was this danger greater. Men are denying the full inspiration of the Bible, frittering away the atonement, carping at justification by faith, and questioning the proper deity of our blessed Lord, It is the work of the Holy Spirit to establish, ground, and settle his people in foundation truths, and there is reason to fear from the dubious preaching of certain” intellectual “persons that they have little or no acquaintance with his inward teachings. ‘’ If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” The ungodly may triumph, but we weep and lament when we see the glorious doctrines of truth assailed by those who, though they know it not, are the enemies both of God and man. O Lord, visit thy church, and restore a martyr’s faith among us. Meanwhile we rejoice that “the foundation of God standeth sure.”
