“It is reported that at times he was so wretched that
even his crew regarded him as little more than an
animal. Once he fell overboard and his ship’s crew
refused to drop a boat to him. Instead they threw a
harpoon at him, with which they dragged him back
into the ship.”

- Lindsay terry

“I was greatly deficient in many respects . . . I cannot
consider myself to have been a believer (in the
full sense of the word) till a considerable time
afterwards.”

- JOHN

“. . . a sense of my great sinfulness in having so long
neglected the unspeakable mercies of my God and
Savior.”

- william wilberforce

“God had set before me two objects: the suppression
of the slave trade and the reformation of manners.”



“Napoleon would come home in power and pomp,
yet tormented by the bloodshed and oppression of
war he had caused. Wilberforce would come home
to the bosom of his happy and delighted family, able
to lie down in peace because he had preserved so
many millions of his fellow creatures.”

- Sir Samuel Romilly

“Thank God that I have lived to witness a day in which
England is willing to give twenty million sterling for the
Abolition of Slavery.”



- frederick douglass


“Men have in their own hands the peaceful means . . .
of making this world a healthy and happy dwelling
place, if they will but faithfully and courageously use
these means . . .”



“It was the faithful, persistent and enduring en-
thusiasm of William Wilberforce and his noble
coworkers, that finally thawed the British heart into
sympathy for the slave, and moved the strong arm of
that government in mercy to put an end to his
bondage.”

Let no American, especially no colored American,
withhold a generous recognition of this stupendous


“Let no American, especially no colored American,
withhold a generous recognition of this stupendous
achievement. It was a triumph of right over wrong,
of good over evil, and victory for the whole human
race.”


I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look,
God’s home is now among his people! He will live with
them, and they will be his people. God himself will be
with them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes,
and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying
or pain. All these things are gone forever.”

revelation 21:3-4

Listen to what the LORD is saying:
“Stand up and state your case against me.
Let the mountains and hills be called to witness your
complaints.”

micah 6:1

“And now, O mountains,
listen to the LORD’s complaint!
He has a case against his people.
He will bring charges against Israel.”

micah 6:2

“O my people, what have I done to you? What have I
done to make you tired of me? Answer me! For I
brought you out of Egypt and redeemed you from
slavery. I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam to help you.
Don’t you remember, my people, how King Balak of
Moab tried to have you cursed and how Balaam son of
Beor blessed you instead? And remember your journey
from Acacia Grove to Gilgal, when I, the LORD, did
everything I could to teach you about my faithfulness.”

micah 6:3-6

What can we bring to the LORD? What kind of
offerings should we give him?

micah 6:6

Should we bow before God with offerings of yearling
calves? Should we offer him thousands of rams and
ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Should we sacrifice
our firstborn children to pay for our sins?

micah 6:6-7

He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does
the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love
kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

micah 6:8

“The Hebrew word is ‘hesed,’ used about 250 times in
the Old Testament. It means loyal, steadfast, or
faithful love, and stresses the idea of a belonging
together of those involved in the love relationship . . . it
connotes God’s faithful love for His unfaithful people.”

- charles ryrie

He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf,
so that we might become the righteousness of God in
Him.

2 corinthians 5:21

The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise to
return, as some people think. No, he is being patient
for your sake. He does not want anyone to perish, so
he is giving more time for everyone to repent.

2 peter 3:9

What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and
you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you are careful to
tithe even the tiniest income from your herb gardens,
but you ignore the more important aspects of the law
— justice, mercy, and faith.

matthew 23:23

What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say
you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can
that kind of faith save anyone? Suppose you see a
brother or sister who has no food or clothing, and you
say, “Goodbye and have a good day; stay warm and
eat well” — but then you don’t give that person any
food or clothing. What good does that do?

james 2:14-15

So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it pro-
duces good deeds, it is dead and useless.

james 2:17

Now someone may argue, “Some people have faith;
others have good deeds.” But I say, “How can you
show me your faith if you don’t have good deeds? I will
show you my faith by my good deeds.”

james 2:18

Remember, it is sin to know what you ought to do and
then not do it.

james 4:17
