23. The Bible

God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? Romans 11:2

Most people are bothered by those passages of Scripture they do not understand, but the passages that bother me are those I do understand. > Mark Twain

The Bible was never intended to be a book for scholars and specialists only. From the very beginning it was intended to be everybody’s book, and that is what it continues to be. > F. F. Bruce

If you really want some mail, read a letter from Paul. > Author Unknown

Warning: This book is habit-forming. Regular use causes loss of anxiety, decreased appetite for lying, cheating, stealing, hating. Symptoms: increased sensations of love, peace, joy, compassion. >Author Unknown

God has given us in written from a volume which spans all the human emotions, the ups, the downs, the diversity of individuals, the good with the bad, the ugly, the beautiful, the sinners, the righteous, the perverted, the saved, the lost, the poetry, the poets, the wisdom, the wise, the human stories, the reality of life, pregnant with meaning, a book in fact of truth, not pale, narrow, religious sayings. The Bible, the Word of God, is solid, human, verifiable, divine indeed. > Franky Schaeffer

The Bible will keep you from sin, or sin will keep you from the Bible. > Dwight L. Moody

The Christian feels that the tooth of time gnaws all books but the Bible. It is a pertinent relevance to every age. It has worked miracles by itself alone. It has made its way where no missionary had gone and has done the missionary’s work. Centuries of experience have tested the book. It has passed through critical fires no other volume has suffered, and its spiritual truth has endured the flames and come out without so much as the smell of burning. > W. E. Sangster

If God is a reality and the soul is a reality and you are an immortal being, what are you doing with your Bible shut? > Herrick Johnson

See also 2 Timothy 3:16-17.
