The history of the Church of Christ from the days of the Apostles has been a history of spiritual movements. — Henry Parry Liddon Copy Share Image
The resurrection asserts a truth which is by no means always written legibly for all men on the face of nature. It tells us that the spiritual is higher than the material; that in this universe spirit counts for more… — Henry Parry Liddon Copy Share Image
Truth has her sterner responsibilities sooner or later in store for those who have known anything about her. — Henry Parry Liddon Copy Share Image
Let us think today of the prospect of sharing in a sublime and blessed existence such as is portrayed in the text of the… — Henry Parry Liddon Copy Share Image
So long as men die, life will reassert its tragic interest from time to time with fresh energy, and to this interest Christianity alone can respond. If the scientific people could rid us of death, they might indeed hope to win over the heart and conscience of the world, permanently, to some form of non-theistic speculation. As it is, the… — Henry Parry Liddon Copy Share
Worship is the earthly act by which we most distinctly recognize our personal immortality; men who think that they will be extinct a few years hence do not pray. In worship we spread out our insignificant life, which yet is the work of the Creator's hands, and the purchase of the Redeemer's blood, before the Eternal and All-Merciful, that we… — Henry Parry Liddon Copy Share

Practically speaking, there are for each one of us two supreme realities -- God and the soul. The heavens and the earth will pass away. But the soul will still remain, face to face with God. — Henry Parry Liddon Copy Share
It is some disaster for any mind to hold any one thing for truth that is untrue, however insignificant it be, or however honestly it be held. It is a greater disaster when the false prejudice bars the way to some truth behind it, which, but for it, would find an entrance to the soul; and the greatness of the… — Henry Parry Liddon Copy Share
Useful knowledge, practical kindness, and beneficent laws -- these are not the Gospel; but, like philosophy, they are, or may be, its handmaids. They… — Henry Parry Liddon Copy Share Image
Again and again the Church of Christ has been all but engulfed, as men might have deemed, in the billows; again and again the… — Henry Parry Liddon Copy Share Image
I get some very fierce anonymous letters about the Athanasian Creed, which would amuse you, if they were not so sad as to what they imply on the part of the writers. The last tells me that I am a Pharisee, and should have helped to crucify our Lord. It is very odd that people should think, much more write,… — Henry Parry Liddon Copy Share
