When someone tells me that he has never had a moment of probing religious doubt I find myself wondering whether he had ever known a moment of vital religious conviction.
Harold A. Bosley
He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.
Proverbs 15:32
The King James Version
Knowing the Bible is one thing. Knowing the author another.

It was a new way of seeing for me. Always before, I’d looked for God in happy endings. If the ending wasn’t happy, then God must not be in it. At last, I came to understand a deeper truth. Happy endings come and go. That doesn’t mean God is absent. It just means you need to learn to see him wherever you are. If you keep your eyes on him, you will find that everything else changes too. The larger purpose in all of that is God. Now I put my faith in him—not in happy endings. With God, every ending is just a fresh start that draws me ever closer to him.
George Koonce
For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you, because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction.
1 Thessalonians 1:4-5
The English Standard Version
It is not my ability, but my response to God’s ability, that counts.

When Christ is not known it is impossible to have any understanding in Scripture.
Martin Luther
For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. For one who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. For the death he died he died to sin, once for all, but the life he lives he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
Romans 6:5-11
The English Standard Version
God cannot endure that unfestive, mirthless attitude of ours in which we eat our bread in sorrow, with pretentious, busy haste, or even with shame. Through our daily meals He is calling us to rejoice, to keep holiday in the midst of our working day.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Every Christian occupies some kind of pulpit and preaches some kind of sermon every day.
The Methodist Story
Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. Do not add to His words, Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.
Proverbs 30:5-6
The New King James Version
Theological preaching is deservedly unpopular if all it does is settle a lot of problems people never heard of, and asks a lot of questions nobody ever asks.

For forty years I have loved the Word of God. I feel the blessed pages under my hand with special thankfulness as a rod and a staff to keep firm my steps through the valley of the shadow of depression and world calamity. Truly the Bible—the teaching of our Savior—is the only way out of the dark. If the wealth of things which we have in abundance has not knocked on our selfish hearts and opened them to the central message of Jesus, “Love ye one another,” perhaps these days of widespread suffering will be the pointed instrument that will “stab our spirit broad awake.”
Helen Keller
In the morning you will see the glory of the LORD,
Exodus 16:7

God hath given to man a short time here upon earth, and yet upon this short time eternity depends.

If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we and our posterity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity.
Daniel Webster
Oh, guard my soul, and deliver me! Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.
Psalm 25:20
The English Standard Version
What other people think of me is becoming less and less important; what they think of Jesus because of me is critical.

He who hath heard the Word of God can bear His silences.
Ignatius of Loyola
But for you who fear my name the sun of righteousness shall rise, with healing in its wings. You shall go forth leaping like calves from the stall.

God is as great in minuteness as He is in magnitude.

In natural matters faith follows evidence and is impossible without it, but in the reality of the spirit, faith precedes understanding; it does not follow it. The natural man must know in order to believe; the spiritual man must believe in order to know.
A. W. Tozer
“‘Take heed, be quiet, do not fear, and do not let your heart be faint’”

Ought we not to be greatly ashamed if we do not store up God’s Word in old age?

How God rejoices over a soul, which, surrounded on all sides by suffering and misery, does that upon earth which the angels do in heaven—namely, loves, adores, and praises God!
Gerhardt Tersteegen
Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.
Ephesians 4:31-32
The New King James Version
Disregard the study of God and you sentence yourself to stumble and blunder through life, blindfolded, as it were, with no sense of direction and no understanding of what surrounds you.

God doesn’t seek for golden vessels, and does not ask for silver ones, but He must have clean ones.
D. L. Moody
Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun.
Psalm 37:3-6
The New International Version
Beauty comes in all ages, colors, shapes, and forms. God never makes junk.
