This a glimpse of olde time christianity, the kind that wins heaven and pleases God by true faith:
"Indeed, the glory of the cross shined so conspicuously through the self-denial of their lives who daily bore it, that it struck the heathen with astonishment; and in a small time so shook their altars, discredited their oracles, struck the multitude, invaded the court, and overcame their armies, that it led priests, magistrates, and generals in triumph after it, as the trophies of its power and victory."
~ William Penn, No Cross, No Crown
