What They Said

"The possession of the whole world and all that it contains would never make a person happy. Its pleasures are false and deceptive. Its riches, rank, and honors have no power to satisfy the heart. So long as we do not have them, they glitter and sparkle and seem desirable. The moment we have them, we find that they are empty bubbles and cannot make us content."

"Cultivate a profound reverence for God's Word. Nothing is more grievous to the Holy Spirit than a trifling with Revelation. The words of Scripture are divinely inspired, "Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.""

"We are secure, not because we hold tightly to Jesus, but because He holds tightly to us."

"The chief mark of counterfeit holiness is its lack of humility. Every seeker after holiness needs to be on his guard, lest unconsciously what was begun in the spirit be perfected in the flesh, and pride creep in where its presence is least expected."

"He is wise who knows the sources of knowledge - who knows who has written and where it is to be found."

"A man can be so busy making a living that he forgets to make a life."

"We do not segment our lives, giving some time to God, some to our business or schooling, while keeping parts to ourselves. The idea is to live all of our lives in the presence of God, under the authority of God, and for the honor and glory of God. That is what the Christian life is all about."

"Without the interpretation of the universe by man to the glory of God the whole world would be meaningless."

"Humility is the bloom and the beauty of holiness."

"It is easier to find a score of men wise enough to discover the truth than to find one intrepid enough, in the face of opposition, to stand up for it."

"Endurance is not just the ability to bear a hard thing, but to turn it into glory."

"Knowledge is proud that it knows so much; wisdom is humble that it knows no more."

“The truth of God may well be likened to a narrow path skirted on either side by a dangerous and destructive precipice: in other words, it lies between two gulfs of error.”

"God bestows His blessings without discrimination. The followers of Jesus are children of God, and they should manifest the family likeness by doing good to all, even to those who deserve the opposite."

"The law showeth unto us our sins, and maketh known unto us our miserable estate and wretchedness, and how that there is nothing good in us, and that we are far off from all manner of righteousness, and so driveth us of necessity to seek righteousness in Christ."

"The test of happiness is gratitude."

“When was public virtue to be found when private was not?”

“Whatever I cannot do for God’s glory must be avoided.”

"The question to be asked of all teaching is not, 'Is it new?' but 'Is it true?'"

"As the musician straineth his strings, and yet he breaketh none of them, but maketh thereby a sweeter melody and better concord; so God, through affliction makes His own better unto the fruition and enjoying of the life to come."

"God is like the sun; you cannot look at it, but without it you cannot look at anything else."
