And here's what I said, if its in the word we accept it but if you dream it and your vision is not in the bible then you got to dismiss it because its not based upon the word.
Pray and read, read and pray; for a little from God is better than a great deal from men.
Have been reading "Genesis" several Sundays, not as a Christian reads for "spiritual consolation," "instruction," etc., not as aninfidel reads to carp and quarrel and criticize, but as one who wishes to be informed and furnished in the earliest and most wonderful of all literary productions. The literature of the Bible should be studied as one studies Shakespeare, for illustration and language, for its true pictures of man and woman nature, for its early historical record.
The Holy Scriptures are our letters from home.
The greatest proof that the Bible is inspired is that it has stood so much bad preaching.
One of the many divine qualities of the Bible is that it does not yield its secrets to the irreverent and the censorious.
My conscience is captive to the Word of God
The Bible, the whole Bible, and nothing but the Bible is the religion of Christ's church.
Many people are being persuaded that they cannot be considered intelligent or well educated if they insist on the doctrine of the verbal inspiration of the Book. Let me say to you that truth has always lived with the minority; what the majority says at a given moment is usually wrong. The crowd one day cried, "Crucify him," and the whole world united to murder the Son of God, because in their ignorance they knew Him not.
You need not bring life to the scripture. You should draw life from the scripture.
If we pick out which parts of the Bible we dislike, we actually have a god we've created. How can that god ever call you out on anything?
It is the Holy Spirit who inspired the Bible. It is the Holy Spirit who illumines the Bible.
We only fully grasp the gospel when we understand, as Paul did, that we are the worst sinner we know
In deep pain, people don't need logic, advice, encouragement, or even Scripture. They just need you to show up and shut up.
The Bible says that it is hard for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of heaven. It doesn't say that it is impossible!
I don't condemn and I don't convert. I've been searching through books and bibles to find what this life is worth, and I've made up my mind: Love is my religion. You can take it or leave it, and you don't have to believe it. Love is my religion
If private revelations agree with Scripture, they are needless, and if they disagree, they are false.
The Bible is very easy to understand. But we Christians are a bunch of scheming swindlers. We pretend to be unable to understand it because we know very well that the minute we understand, we are obliged to act accordingly.
Becoming one flesh is a broad concept involving the totality of life. The context of Genesis 2 and the teaching of the rest of the Bible about marriage demand this. At the same time, it is generally recognized that there is no place where this total sharing is more beautifully pictured or fully experienced than in the sexual relationship of the man and his wife.
Most songs come from being attentive. Attentive to life, attentive to scripture, attentive to your heart. Pay attention!
Most of the heroes of Scripture rose to their greatest victories after their worst mistakes. God is in the redemption business, and He testifies of this through the lives of everyone He calls.
I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older; then it dawned on me . . they’re cramming for their final exam.
This Book had to be written by one of three people: good men, bad men or God. It couldn't have been written by good men because they said it was inspired by the revelation of God. Good men don't lie and deceive. It couldn't have been written by bad men because bad men would not write something that would condemn themselves. It leaves only one conclusion. It was given by divine inspiration of God.
Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
I picked up the Bible and read it from cover to cover one weekend - just as if it were a novel - very rapidly, and I've never gotten over the shock of it. The miracles, the inconsistencies, the improbabilities, the impossibilities, the wretched history, the sordid sex, the sadism in it - the whole thing shocked me profoundly.
