Think it not hard if you get not your will, nor your delights in this life; God will have you to rejoice in nothing but himself.
Samuel Rutherford
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
1 Thessalonians 5:18
The King James Version
I did not go through the Book, The Book went through me.

An old theologian once said, “Who chides a servant for taking away the first course of a feast when the second consists of far greater delicacies?” Who then can regret that this present world passes away when he sees that an eternal world of joy is coming? The first course is grace, but the second is glory, and that is as much better as the fruit is better than the blossom.
Charles Spurgeon
And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19
The Revised Standard Version
My Bible didn’t come with a bottle of Wite-Out. I’ve looked for those Bible ‘kits’—I’ve seen others using them—but I still haven’t figured out where they’re getting them.

Next to theology I give to music the highest place and honor. And we see how David and all the saints have wrought their godly thoughts into verse, rhyme, and song.
Martin Luther
“But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”

Time is infinite movement without one moment of rest.

What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us. What we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.
Albert Pine
“Is not My word like a fire” says the LORD, “And like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?”
Jeremiah 23:29
The New King James Version
An old Danish peasant on his death bed asked of his son only one promise: that he should sit alone for a half-hour each day in the best room in the house. The son did this and became a model for the whole district.

In an experience which often transcended all their powers of expression, the mystics realized God as an abiding Fact, a living Presence and Love, and by this their whole existence was transformed. And this happened to them, not because He loved and attended to them more than He does to us, but because they loved and attended to Him more than we do.
Evelyn Underhill
Thy word is a lamp to my feet, And a light to my path.
Psalm 119:105
The New American Standard Bible
He preaches well who lives well. That’s all the divinity I know.

I am certain that the Bible is the Word of God. Either it is or it isn’t, and either all of it is the Word of God, or we never can be sure of any of it. It is either absolute or obsolete. If we have to start changing this verse, toning down that, apologizing for this and making allowances for that, we might as well give up, so we must take it as it is or leave it alone.
Vance Havner
And the Lord’s servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone, able to teach, not resentful.
2 Timothy 2:24
The New International Version
You have made us for yourself and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.
Augustine

Before God changes our circumstances, He wants to change our hearts.
Warren Wiersbe
Then Jesus said to them, “Don’t you understand this parable? How then will you understand any parable? The farmer sows the word. Some people are like seed along the path, where the word is sown. As soon as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word that was sown in them. Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the word and at once receive it with joy. But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. Still others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the word; but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful. Others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop—some thirty, some sixty, some a hundred times what was sown.”
Mark 4:13-20
The New International Version
A violin-maker in the old days always chose the wood for his violins from the north side of the trees; it was the side upon which the wind and the storms had beaten. So he said when he heard the groaning of the trees in the forest at night he didn’t feel sorry for them, for they were just learning to be violins.

There are three kinds of faith in Christ:
1. Struggling faith, like a man in deep water desperately swimming.
2. Clinging faith, like a man hanging to the side of a boat.
3. Resting faith, like a man safely within the boat (and able to reach out with a hand to help someone else get in).
Dwight Lyman Moody
For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12
The New King James Version
A more glorious victory cannot be gained over another man than this, that when the injury began on his part, the kindness should begin on ours.
John Tillotson

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.
