Edward McKendree BoundsCrucified preaching only can give life. Crucified preaching can come only from a crucified man.
Edward McKendree BoundsThe prayers of God's saints strengthen the unborn generation against the desolating waves of sin and evil.

Edward McKendree BoundsThoughts of heaven quicken our faith. Our only sure and solid foundation is the hope of heaven. The only solution to earth's mysteries, the only righter of earth's wrongs, and the only cure for worldliness, is heaven. We need an infusion of heaven into our faith and hope that will create a homesickness for that blessed place. God's home is heaven. Eternal life and all good were born there and flourish there. All life, happiness, beauty, and glory are native to the home of God. All this belongs to and awaits the heirs of God in heaven. What a glorious inheritance!
