"Between 1638 and 1688 Scotland was in an almost constant state of civil unrest because many people refused to accept the Royal decree that the king was head of the church. When those who refused signed a Covenant, which stated that only Jesus Christ could command such a position, they were effectively signing their own death warrants. And so began one of the bloodiest periods of Scottish history, the Killing Times.""Better that Scotland were hacked by Claverhouse for cleaving to the Lord, than that she should be flattered by infidels for her gradual departure from the faith. Let not the blood of the Covenanters be spilt in vain...
I am glad you are writing on Scots Worthies. Oh, that Scotland may stand fast in this evil day!" (Charles Spurgeon, probably written to Andrew Bonar). WILLIAM GUTHERIE
(17th Century Scottish Covenanter preacher and author)
"Every one who is come to years of understanding and heareth this gospel, is obliged to take to heart his own condition, and God's gracious offer of peace and salvation through Jesus Christ, and speedily to flee from the wrath to come, by accepting and closing with this offer, heartily acquiescing therein as a satisfying way for the salvation of perishing sinners." |
