“We must realize that the Reformation world view leads in the direction of government freedom. But the humanist world view with inevitable certainty leads in the direction of statism. This is so because humanists, having no god, must put something at the center, and it is inevitably society, government, or the state.”

“The common Calvinist experience of life as a refugee, or of being part of a host community that received refugees, led to lasting international connections between individuals and communities...As churches became established in Switzerland, the Palatinate, Scotland, England and Bearn, and the churches in the Netherlands, France, Hungary and Poland battled for legal recognition and survival, princely courts, noble houses, universities and colleges also became locations for interactions between many Calvinists. Theologians, clergy, students, booksellers, merchants, diplomats, courtiers and military officers became involved in networks of personal contacts, correspondence, teaching and negotiation.”

“This Jesus of Nazereth without money and arms, conquered more millions than Alexander, Caeser, Muhammad and Napoleon; without science and learning, He shed more light on matters human and divine than all philosophers and scholars combined; without the eloquence of schools, He spoke such words of life as were never spoke before or since and produced effects which lie beyond the reach of orator poet; without writing a single line, He set more pens in motion and furnished themes for more sermons, orations, discussions, learned volumes, works of art and songs of praise than the whole army of great men of ancient and modern times.”

“It is a bad indication when, in any period, men will so exalt their confessions that they force the Scriptures to a secondary importance, illustrated in one era, when as Tulloch remarks: 'Scripture as a witness, disappeared behind the Augsburg Confession" ...No decrees of councils; no ordinances of synods; no "standard" of doctrines; no creed or confession, is to be urged as authority in forming the opinions of men. They may be valuable for some purposes, but not for this; they may be referred to as interesting parts of history, but not to form the faith of Christians; they may be used in the church to express its belief, not to form it.”

“As the world systematically finds itself in a downward spiritual spiral, the ignorant will take it as a sign of weakness from God or more so, the proof that there is no God. The truth is, it is the undeniable proof that the Bible is the true word of God. Matthew 24”

“The genius in Christmas is that it changes the trajectory of everything through a baby who was born into nothing. And if we have any shred of genius in us at all, it will be evidenced by our willingness to embrace that ‘everything’ out of our ‘nothing.”

“Many persons make the mistake of thinking they can measure the certainty of salvation by their feelings. It is the Word of God that is their foundation and therefore it is essential for the new convert in Christ to have a practical knowledge of the Bible. More than anyone else it is the new convert who will come under the fire of the enemy.”

“Sharper than any double-edged sword." A sword with two edges has no blunt side; it cuts both this way and that. The Word of God is edge all over. It is alive in every part, and in every part keen to cut the conscience and wound the heart. Depend on it: not a verse in the Bible is superfluous or a chapter that is useless.”

“We have sinners who are doing godly things and Christians who are doing evil things. The reason is the sinners focuses on actions only and not the word, and Christians focus on the word and not the actions. May God help us to overcome what we lack to be incomplete.”

“If we do not love the Bible, we certainly do not love the God who gave it to us; but if we do love God, then no other book in the entire world will be comparable in our minds. When God speaks, it is the delight of our ears to hear what he says. In other books there is some truth and some error. Apart from the Bible, the best book ever written has mistakes in it. It is not possible for fallible men to write infallible books. Somehow or other we either say more than is true or less than is true. The most skillful writer does not always keep along that hairline of truth that is more difficult to tread than a razor's edge. But Scripture never errs.”

“Reading God's Word and receiving the knowledge of Jesus Christ renews the believer's mind and transforms it to His mind. The minds of immature believers will be focused on selfish ambitions, but as they open themselves up to read the Word concerning Jesus, they enter into fellowship with Him and their thinking begins to change--to be renewed. As a result of such a renewing of the mind, they spontaneously start to look out for the interest of others and to genuinely and unselfishly care for others; they do not consider themselves better than everyone else.”

“Вот пост, который Я избрал: разреши оковы неправды, развяжи узы ярма, и угнетенных отпусти на свободу, и расторгни всякое ярмо; раздели с голодным хлеб твой, и скитающихся бедных введи в дом; когда увидишь нагого, одень его, и от единокровного твоего не укрывайся. Тогда откроется, как заря, свет твой, и исцеление твое скоро возрастет, и правда твоя пойдет пред тобою, и слава Господня будет сопровождать тебя.”

“Change was happening and coming quick. You could
feel it, itching at you as you waited desperate for
movement. You had been in a holding pattern for too
long. You had prayed day after day to be released from
what felt like a prison and all the while, you were still
here. Life was still the same, a revolving motion of
people, activity, sleep and food...No passion. No
interest. Just stuck. What you were unaware of was
that Heaven was moving.”
― Sunshine Rodgers, This Is My Heaven

“For where this Self-love rules, Divines will study more to tune the Scriptures to their opinion, than their opinions to Scripture, and by head and shoulders drag the Fundamental Articles of the Christian Faith, to the supporting of their doctrines not Fundamental.”

“Kwa nini Biblia imejaa mafumbo? Biblia imejaa mafumbo kwa sababu akili za watu bado hazijakomaa kuupokea ukweli. Yesu na waandishi wote wa Biblia waliongea na kuandika kimafumbo, ili Neno la Mungu lijidhihirishe lenyewe kiroho katika mawazo ya mtu.”
