'Twas the night before Jesus came and all through the house Not a person was praying, not one in the house. The Bibles were left on the shelf without care, For no one thought that Jesus would come there. The children were dressing to crawl into bed, Not once ever kneeling or bowling a head. And mom in her rocker with baby in her lap Was watching the Late Show while I took a nap. When out of the east there arose such a clatter, I sprang to my feet to see what was the matter. Away to the window I flew like a flash Tore open the shutter and lifted the slash! When what to my wondering eyes should appear But angels proclaiming that Jesus was here!

There is scarcely anything so dull and meaningless as Bible doctrine taught for its own sake. Truth divorced from life is not truth in its biblical sense, but something else and something less. - A. W. Tozer

There is nothing so deluding as feelings. Christians cannot live by feelings. Let me further tell you that these feelings are the work of Satan, for they are not right feelings. What right have you to set up your feelings against the Word of Christ. - Charles Spurgeon

If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper. I make it a practice to read the Bible through once every year. - Daniel Webster

The authority of Scripture is greater than the comprehension of the whole of man's reason. - Martin Luther

Spiritual leadership is not won by promotion, but by prayers and tears. It is attained by much heart-searching and humbling before God; by self-surrender, a courageous sacrifice of every idol, a bold uncompromising, and uncomplaining embracing of the cross, and by an eternal, unfaltering looking unto Jesus crucified. This is a great price, but it must be unflinchingly paid by him who would be a real spiritual leader of men, a leader whose power is recognized and felt in heaven, on earth and in hell. - Samuel Brengle

I am so busy now that if I did not spend three hours each day in prayer, I could not get through the day. - Martin Luther

Human things must be known to be loved: but Divine things must be loved to be known. - Blaise Pascal

It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ.

I have never once feared the devil, but I tremble every time I enter the pulpit. - John Knox

Holy Scripture, being God’s own Word, written by men prepared and superintended by His Spirit, is of infallible divine authority in all matters upon which it touches: it is to be believed, as God’s instruction, in all that it affirms; obeyed, as God’s command, in all that it requires; embraced, as God’s pledge, in all that it promises. - The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy

Nature teaches us to love our friends, but Christ teaches us to love our enemies. - Unknown

The desire of love is to give. The desire of lust is to take. - Unknown

The fear of the Lord is just the proper reaction of sinners to God’s infinite holiness, or of creatures to God’s infinite majesty. As we grow in the knowledge of God, we will learn truly to tremble before His great glory and burning purity, and see this as indeed the beginning of wisdom. - Eric Alexander

Love is not blind; that is the last thing it is. Love is bound; and the more it is bound the less it is blind. - G. K. Chestertown

Love is the sum of all virtue, and love disposes us to good. - Jonathon Edwards

The Bible is either absolute, or it's obsolete. - Leonard Ravenhill

A man may study because his brain is hungry for knowledge, even Bible knowledge. But he prays because his soul is hungry for God. - Leonard Ravenhill

'Not called!' did you say? 'Not heard the call,' I think you should say. Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help. Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father's house and bid their brothers and sisters, and servants and masters not to come there. And then look Christ in the face, whose mercy you have professed to obey, and tell him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish his mercy to the world. - William Booth
