I pity from the bottom of my heart any individual who is so unfortunate as to get into the habit of holding race prejudice.

Booker T. Washington, first president of Tuskegee University (1856-1915)

Spiritual illumination is never denied those who approach the Bible with reverent deference. The same Spirit who inspired its writers now waits to illumine its readers.

J. Sidlow Baxter (1903-1999)

Thus to justify a man, Faith is greater; but in a man justified, Charity is greater. Let Faith alone with the great work of our salvation; but that finished, it shall end, and so yield superiority to Love, which shall endure forever.

Thomas Adams (1583-1652)

Many, I believe, act towards the Deity as they do towards their friends: they make up their minds and then ask to be directed.

John Angell James (1785-1859)

A Christian should make everything bend to religion, but allow religion to bend to nothing. This is the one thing needful, to which everything should be subordinate. The neglect of this plain and reasonable rule is becoming, I am afraid, more and more prevalent.

John Angell James (1785-1859)

Experience had taught me that innocence seldom utters outraged shrieks. Guilt does. Innocence is a mighty shield, and the man or woman covered by it, is much more likely to answer calmly: "My life is blameless. Look into it, if you like, for you will find nothing." That is the tone of innocence.

Whittaker Chambers (1901-1961)

Perhaps there is no advice, generally speaking, more thrown away than that which is offered on the subject of marriage.

John Angell James (1785-1859)

Effort must be expended for one to become wise. Getting wisdom involves openness, retention, hearing (with the ear), applying (with the heart), requesting, and diligent searching.

Sid S. Buzzell

The Scripture itself [e.g., Heb 6:5-6; 2 Pet 2:20-22], therefore, leads us to the conclusion that it is possible to have very uplifting, ennobling, reforming, and exhilarating experience of the power and truth of the gospel, to come into such close contact with the supernatural forces which are operative in God's kingdom of grace that these forces produce effects in us which to human observation are hardly distinguishable from those produced by God's regenerating and sanctifying grace and yet not be partakers of Christ and heirs of eternal life.

John Murray (1898-1975)

Candour, as it relates to the treatment of an adversary, is that temper of mind which will induce us to treat him openly, fairly, and ingenuously; granting him every thing that can be granted consistently with truth, and and entertaining the most favourable opinion of his character and conduct that justice will admit.

Andrew Fuller (1754-1815)

Nearly 40 years ago one of the world's best-known psychiatrists, Dr. Thomas Szasz, recommended taking mental health care away from the professionals, such as M.D.'s and Ph.D.'s and giving 'this whole business back to the ministers and priests and rabbis.'

Martin & Diedre Bobgan

No one has scientifically studied or proven the value of the use of mental health professions and psychological tests to screen or evaluate missionary candidates.

Martin & Deidre Bobgan

It is depravity that directs us to seek satisfaction in something short of God; but it is owing to the nature of the soul that we are never able to find it.

Andrew Fuller (1754-1815)

Justification is the imputation to the sinner of Christ's perfect obedience to the eternal moral law of God. This judicial constitution of the believer as righteous by faith enables an infinitely holy God to accept, pronounce and forever treat him as righteous.

Rolland D. McCune (1934-2019)

Bitterness, in every case, is an accusation against God's goodness.

Joe Doyel

Prayer elevates Christian marriage above heathen marriages and the co-habitation of animals.

Richard Steele (1629-1692)

Where the wife refuses to submit to her husband, the children are sure to defy their parents - sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.

Arthur W. Pink (1886-1952)

Men do not long continue to think what they have forgotten how to say.

C. S. Lewis (1898-1963)

No mother or father has such a handle on life that they can afford to deprive their children of the grace that God only provides by the proper use of means. After all, motherhood and fatherhood is very temporary, but one's relationship with God is eternal (so it needs to be the right relationship).

John S. Waldrip (April 2, 2011)

The liar's punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else.

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

As a scientist, I am qualified to assert the fact that evolution is not an empirical science. It cannot be proven by experimentation, it cannot be demonstrated by observation, it cannot be tested and it cannot be verified. It is unproven and unprovable. The transmutation of one distinct species unto another distinct species has never been observed and never will be because man cannot live a million years attempting to verify it. It is impossible to observe. Therefore, evolution cannot even be classified as a theory, because by definition a theory must be testable. It is but a speculative philosophy, a projection back into time. It is a wishful extrapolation outside the realm of experimentation. But more to the point, it is an attempt to reconstruct history in order to do away with God. As Richard Dawkins boasts, "Darwin made it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist."

Dr. Paul S. Nelson

Worship is the proper response of all moral, sentient beings to God, ascribing all honor and worth to their Creator-God precisely because he is worthy, delightfully so.

D. A. Carson

Imagine a world where the power of the gospel to change lives is outs to behold.

Rosaria Butterfield

Imagine a world where people fear God more than men and serve God more than comfort.

Rosaria Butterfield

Imagine a world where no one languishes in crushing loneliness, where no abused woman or man or child suffers alone, where people take their real and pressing problems to Christians who have the reputation of being helpers, and where victims are not swept away, lost, forgotten.
