In the opening paragraph of Foxe's Book of Martyrs it reads:-

"Christ our Savior, in the Gospel of St. Matthew, hearing the confession of Simon Peter, who, first of all other, openly acknowledged Him to be the Son of God, and perceiving the secret hand of His Father therein, called him (alluding to his name) a rock, upon which rock He would build His Church so strong that the gates of hell should not prevail against it.

In which words three things are to be noted: First, that Christ will have a Church in this world. Secondly, that the same Church should mightily be impugned, not only by the world, but also by the uttermost strength and powers of all hell. And, thirdly, that the same Church, notwithstanding the uttermost of the devil and all his malice, should continue."

Members of ECUSA should fear naught, victory is assured, it is just our earthly job of work having to pry the hands of Griswold,Spong,Vicky Gene, and their minions off of the Church's property before they use it in the worship of Baal.
