Learning from the best during Posters' School

Words by Dr. Robert J. Billings,
First President of Hyles-Anderson College (1972-75)
 
patriotic said:
Lifting high the wondrous cross.

Well, more like exalting Hyles and FBCH.  The cross was not actually lifted up that much.
 
patriotic said:
Grant to us Thy Holy Spirit

Weird.  Did not HAC believe that the Spirit indwelt believers?

Why would any believer pray this prayer?
 
patriotic said:
Fill us with thy power divine.

Another error. We have all the power we are going to get, in the Person of the Holy Spirit.  It is a matter of yielding to His leading, not of getting more of Him.

There is no prayer for power in the New Testament.  The early disciples prayed that they may be bold in telling others, but no prayers for power recorded.
