The true Bible is not the dead book, but the living reality, developed by the Spirit of God in the conscience of mankind. It is not a printed thing. The printed thing is the memorial of it, a souvenir of it, a mere chart; and a chart is not the ocean.
Phillips Brooks

The path of the Word and the path of the world do not run parallel.

Vance Havner

A converted Hindu who had been given a Bible and a clock said, “The clock will tell me how time goes, and the Bible will tell me how to spend it.”
Unknown

Worry less about offending the people and more about offending the Gospel.
William Brosend

More than fifty-five years ago my father told me, “The Bible does not belong on the shelf but in your hand, under your eye, and in your heart.”
Martin Niemoller

If you believe what you like in the gospel, and reject what you do not like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourselves.
Augustine

The Bible grows more beautiful, as we grow in our understanding of it. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The Holy Scriptures are our letters from home.
Augustine

I study my Bible as I gather apples.  First, I shake the whole tree that the ripest might fall.  Then I shake each limb, and when I have shaken each limb, I shake each branch and every twig.  Then I look under every leaf.
Martin Luther

The words of the Gospels, repeated to a child, a workman or a peasant, do not surprise him in the least.  Nothing is told with a view to effect.  Not a word in the Gospels is intended to startle.
Ernest Hello

A man who loves the Word of God, a man who dwells upon what it says, a man who keeps a little text in his mind to think about as he is walking on his way, and that meditates upon it day and night, “Whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.”  If you can find a man who carries out this direction and doesn’t prosper, you can doubt the inspiration of the first Psalm; but find the man first.
J. Hudson Taylor

The study of God’s Word for the purpose of discovering God’s will is the secret discipline which has formed the greatest characters.
James W. Alexander

The Bible as a book stands alone.  There never was, nor ever will be, another like it.  As there is but one sun to enlighten the world naturally, so there is but one Book to enlighten the world spiritually.  May that Book become to each of us the man of our counsel, the guide of our journey, the inspiration of our thought, and our support and comfort in life and in death.
Thomas Galloway

I have found in the Bible words for my inmost thoughts, songs for my joy, utterance for my hidden grief’s and pleadings for my shame and feebleness.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge

The Holy Bible is an abyss.  It is impossible to explain how profound it is, impossible to explain how simple it is.
Ernest Hello

God’s Word is an enemy for depression, an escape from temptation, the promise of the future, as well as a guide, hope and inspiration for now and always.
Al and Brenda Taylor

This Book outlives, outloves, outlifts, outlasts, outreaches, outruns, and outranks all books.  This Book is faith-producing.  It is hope-awakening.  It is death-destroying.  And those who embrace it find forgiveness of sin.
A. Z. Conrad

Disregard the study of God and you sentence yourself to stumble and blunder through life, blindfolded, as it were, with no sense of direction and no understanding of what surrounds you.
J. I. Packer

There is nothing in the Bible that benefits you unless it is transmitted into life, unless it becomes a part of yourself, just like your food.  Unless you assimilate it and it becomes body and bone and muscle, it does you no good.
Henry Weston

The Bible is my church.  It is always open, and there is my High Priest ever waiting to receive me.  There I have my confessional, my thanksgiving, my psalm of praise…and a congregation of whom the world is not worthy- prophets and apostles, and martyrs and confessors- in short, all I can want, there I find.
Charlotte Elliott

When you have read the Bible, you will know it is the word of God, because you will have found it the key to our own heart, your own happiness and your own duty.
Woodrow Wilson

If you believe in the Gospel what you like, and reject what you don’t like, it is not the Gospel you believe, but yourself.
Augustine of Hippo

All human discoveries seem to be made only for the purpose of confirming more and more strongly the truths contained in the Holy Scriptures.
John Herschel

Be much with the solid teachings of God’s word, and you will become solid and substantial men and women: drink them in, and feed upon them, and they shall produce in you a Christ-likeness, at which the world shall stand astonished.
C. H. Spurgeon

I did not go through the Book, The Book went through me.
A. W. Tozer

We have missed the full impact of the Gospel if we have not discovered what it is to be ourselves, loved by God, irreplaceable in His sight, unique among our fellow men.
Bruce Larson
