Quotes about the BIBLE
It is easier for me to have faith in the Bible than to have faith in D.L. Moody, for Moody has fooled me lots of time. Dwight L. Moody
Of course, the Bible does not answer every question about life. Not every fork in the road has a biblical arrow. John Piper
I would rather lay my soul asoak in a half a dozen verses all day than rinse my hand in several chapters. Charles Spurgeon
Sin will keep you from this book. This book will keep you from sin. Dwight L. Moody
If you would follow on to know the Lord, come at once to the open Bible expecting it to speak to you. Do not come with the notion that it is a thing which you may push around at your convenience. A.W. Tozer
We ought to see the face of God every morning before we see the face of man. Dwight L. Moody
Quotes on "Fellowship"
Acts 2:42 Teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread and prayer
The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and though all its parts are many, they form one body. Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it. Paul—First Corinthians 12:12, 27
When a Christian shuns fellowship with other Christians, the devil smiles. When he stops studying the Bible, the devil laughs. When he stops praying, the devil shouts for joy. Corrie ten Boom
Our calling is to enjoy God as well as glorify Him. Real fulfillment relates to the purpose for which we were made, to be in reference to God, to be in personal relationship with Him, to be fulfilled by Him, and thus to have an affirmation of life. Christianity should never give any onlooker the right to conclude that Christianity believes in the negation of life. Christianity is able to make a real affirmation because we affirm that it is possible to be in personal relationship to the personal God who is there and who is the final environment of all He created. All else but God is dependent, but being in the image of God, man can be in personal relationship to that which is ultimate and has always been. We can be fulfilled in the highest level of our personality and in all the parts and portions of life... There is nothing Platonic in Christianity... The whole man is to be fulfilled; there is to be an affirmation of life that is filled with joy. Francis Schaeffer Death in the City (Downers Grove, InterVarsity Press: 1969) 26
Each local church is a fellowship in the deepest spiritual meaning of that word........Every local church is an expression of Church because as believers we are members of Christ's body through whom He seeks to reach out to people around us. A.W. Tozer
Quotes on "Doctrines" (Also known as teachings)
Acts 2:42 Teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread and prayer
Teachings,Doctrines
Doctrines are not God: they are only a kind of map. But that map is based on the experience of hundreds of people who really were in touch with God. C.S. Lewis
If we take our doctrines into our hearts where they belong, they can cause upheavals of emotion and sleepless nights. This is far better than toying with academic ideas that never touch life. John Piper
Doctrinal preaching certainly bores the hypocrites; but it is only doctrinal preaching that will save Christ's sheep. J.I. Packer
If Christianity is really true, then it involves the whole man, including his intellect and creativeness. Christianity is not just "dogmatically" true or "doctrinally" true. Rather, it is true to what is there, true in the whole area of the whole man in all of life. Francis Schaeffer
Humility is the only state of mind in which to approach the Scriptures. The Spirit will teach the humble soul those things that make for his salvation and for a holy walk and fruitful service here below. And little else matters. A.W. Tozer
There is head knowledge, head and heart and just heart knowledge. In knowing God (not just about Him) the heart must be involved. A.W. Tozer
It is disciples of Christ we are to make (Matthew 28:19) not disciples of ourselves, our churches or our denominations. Granted that in discipling we can hardly avoid transmitting our own truth perspectives. Yet we ourselves must keep in mind, and those we disciple, that truth is greater than our understanding of it. A.W. Tozer
