“Remove Christ from the Scriptures and there is nothing left.”

People go through three conversions: The conversion of their head, their heart, and their pocketbook. Unfortunately, not all at the same time.

Every week I preach justification by faith to my people, because every week they forget it.

I’ll trust in God’s unchanging Word, till soul and body sever. For though all things pass away, His Word shall stand forever.

He who loves not women, wine, and song Remains a fool his whole life long.

Lord Jesus, You are my righteousness, I am your sin. You took on you what was mine; yet set on me what was yours. You became what you were not, that I might become what I was not.

The Law is for the proud and the Gospel for the brokenhearted.

Pray, and let God worry.

If you see yourself as a “little sinner” you will inevitably see Jesus as a “little savior”.

I admit that I deserve death and hell, what of it? For I know One who suffered and made satisfaction on my behalf. His name is Jesus Christ, Son of God, and where He is there I shall be also!

All of a Christian’s life is one of repentance.

Prayer is not overcoming God’s reluctance. It is laying hold of His willingness.

Music is a fair and glorious gift of God. I am strongly persuaded that after theology, there is no art which can be placed on the level with music.

Most people who travel look only at what they are directed to look at. Great is the power of the guidebook maker, however ignorant.

I love to read. I wish I could advise more people to read. There’s a whole other world in books.

Reading makes all other learning possible. We have to get books into our children’s hands early and often.

Eating and reading are two pleasures that combine admirably.

It isn’t what the book costs. It’s what it will cost you if you don’t read it.

Books are the perfect entertainment: no commercials, no batteries, hours of enjoyment for each dollar spent. What I wonder is why everybody doesn’t carry a book around for those inevitable dead spots in life.

Show the readers everything, tell them nothing.

Start reading, and especially read the kinds of books that will help you unleash your inner potential.
