The Power of the Written Word


The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: 
but the word of our God shall stand for ever. 
~Isaiah 40:8

Every experience God gives us, every person  He puts in our lives, is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see. 
~Corrie Ten Boom

Faith does not eliminate questions. But faith knows where to bring them. 
~Elisabeth Elliot

We are locked in a battle. This is not a friendly, gentleman's discussion. It is a life and death conflict between the spiritual hosts of wickedness and those who claim the name of Christ.
~Francis A. Schaeffer

The BIBLE -- banned, burned, beloved. More widely read, more frequently attacked than any other
book in history. Generations of intellectuals have attempted to discredit it, dictators of every age have
outlawed it and executed those who read it. Yet soldiers carry it into battle believing it more powerful than their weapons. Fragments of it smuggled into solitary prison cells have transformed ruthless
killers into gentle saints.
~Charles Colson


Play is a tithe on our work. When we play, we trust God to provide for us while we take time off.
~R.C. Sproul, Jr.

The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet. 
~John Stonestreet quoting Frederick Buechner 

If you can be a Christian at home, you can be a Christian anywhere.
~Adrian Rodgers

…the deepest spiritual lessons are not learned by His letting us have our way in the end, but by His making us wait, bearing with us in love and patience until we are able to honestly pray what He taught His disciples to pray: Thy will be done.
~Elisabeth Elliot

Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
~Mark 13:31
