“It is Christ in the power of His gospel who is galloping across the plain of history. Let us be comforted by knowing that the greatest force – the leading power in this world – is Christ and His gospel. … This horse and its rider have advanced throughout history through the preaching of the apostles, the early church fathers, the Reformers, the Puritans, and missionaries in China, Africa, and around the world. Nothing can prevent the white horse and its rider from advancing throughout the world… Christ, the Captain of our salvation, rides forth to conquer.” – Joel Beeke
