It is plain to me the devil will let us read the word always, if we will not pray; but prayer is the sword of the Preacher, the life of the Christian, the terror of hell, and the devil’s plague.
Bible
James I (J. I.) Packer
Every time we mention God we become theologians, and the only question is whether we are going to be good ones or bad ones.
Dwight L. Moody
There’s no better book with which to defend the Bible than the Bible itself.
Ann Voskamp
Without God’s Word as a lens, the world warps.
William P White
The Bible is a harp with a thousand strings. Play on one to the exclusion of its relationship to the others, and you will develop discord. Play on all of them, keeping them in their places in the divine scale, and you will hear heavenly music all the time.
William P. White

Leonard Ravenhill
One of these days some simple soul will pick up the Book of God, read it, and believe it. Then the rest of us will be embarrassed.
N T Wright
The teaching of the gospel itself, and of the way of life which flows from it, must not be a muddled, rambling thing, going this way and that over all kinds of complex issues. It must go straight to the point and make it clearly, so that the young Christians who so badly need building up in their faith may learn the deep, rich, basic elements of Christian teaching.
Anne Graham Lotz
One of the most effective ways to pray is to ask God to give you a promise from his Word concerning whatever it is you’re praying for. Then hold him to his Word as you pray it back to him. It’s what has been called “reversed thunder.” God keeps his Word, and basing our prayer on his Word gives our prayers strength and confidence because we know we’re asking for something God wants to give us.
Kris Vallotton
The Bible was never written just so you would know scripture. It was written so you would know the author. There’s a big difference. You can memorize the Bible and still not know Jesus – just like the Pharisees.
George MacDonald
As no scripture is of private interpretation, so is there no feeling in a human heart which exists in that heart alone — which is not, in some form or degree, in every human heart.
