“We
do not find happiness by being assertive. We don't find happiness by running
over people because we see what we want and they are in the way of that
happiness so we either abandon them or we smash them. The Scriptures don't
teach us to be assertive. The Scriptures teach us—and this is remarkable—the
Scriptures teach us to be submissive. This is not a popular idea.”

Spirit.”

“The
Holy Spirit doesn't need to equip you for what you're not going to do, so if
you're in rebellion against Jesus and refusing His right to be Lord, He doesn't
need to send the Holy Spirit to equip you for service. And, tragically, you
miss out on the joy that He brings.
So
let the Holy Spirit deal with anything that's keeping you from obeying Christ.”

Word of God will be to you a bulwark and a high tower, a castle of defense
against the foe. Oh, see to it that the Word of God is in you, in your very
soul, permeating your thoughts, and so operating upon your outward life, that
all may know you to be a true Bible-Christian, for they perceive it in your
words and deeds.”

Ann Voskamp, One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are
“Is
it possible that the Pentateuch could not have been written by uninspired men?
that the assistance of God was necessary to produce these books? Is it possible
that Galilei ascertained the mechanical principles of 'Virtual Velocity,' the
laws of falling bodies and of all motion; that Copernicus ascertained the true
position of the earth and accounted for all celestial phenomena; that Kepler
discovered his three laws—discoveries of such importance that the 8th of May,
1618, may be called the birth-day of modern science; that Newton gave to the
world the Method of Fluxions, the Theory of Universal Gravitation, and the
Decomposition of Light; that Euclid, Cavalieri, Descartes, and Leibniz, almost
completed the science of mathematics; that all the discoveries in optics,
hydrostatics, pneumatics and chemistry, the experiments, discoveries, and
inventions of Galvani, Volta, Franklin and Morse, of Trevithick, Watt and
Fulton and of all the pioneers of progress—that all this was accomplished by
uninspired men, while the writer of the Pentateuch was directed and inspired by
an infinite God? Is it possible that the codes of China, India, Egypt, Greece
and Rome were made by man, and that the laws recorded in the Pentateuch were
alone given by God? Is it possible that Æschylus and Shakespeare, Burns, and
Beranger, Goethe and Schiller, and all the poets of the world, and all their
wondrous tragedies and songs are but the work of men, while no intelligence
except the infinite God could be the author of the Pentateuch? Is it possible
that of all the books that crowd the libraries of the world, the books of
science, fiction, history and song, that all save only one, have been produced
by man? Is it possible that of all these, the bible only is the work of God?”

Robert G. Ingersoll, Some Mistakes of Moses
“For
it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves,
it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast.”
―
Anonymous, The Holy Bible: King James Version
“It
is only right and proper to be moved by the Bible, but present-day reality has
so strong a hold over us that even when we try to imagine the past the minor
events in our lives immediately wrench us out of our musings, and our own
adventures throw us back irrevocably upon our personal feelings—joy, boredom,
suffering, anger, or a smile.”
