God’s word is true, and other quotes

The posting of quotes by human authors does not constitute agreement with either the quotes or their sources. (I try to confirm the sources that I give, but may miss on occasion; please verify if possible.)

“Those who make themselves God by discounting all accountability, if they go unchecked long enough, eventually destroy whatever they lead.” -- Jonathan Leeman

“God’s word is true and pure and holy because he gave it, not because I preached it.” -- Jon Gleason

“When God acts, he acts in the harmonious consistency of his attributes, holiness, love, mercy, justice, sovereignty, and knowledge.” -- Unknown (I wrote it down; maybe I thought it, or heard it; not sure at this point)

“Remember that we have no more faith at any time than we have in the hour of trial. All that will not bear to be tested is mere carnal confidence. Fair-weather faith is no faith.” -- Charles H. Spurgeon

“He who is too lazy to work and too proud to beg, jumps into the clerical profession with the lie that he is moved by the Holy Ghost, when his highest aim is a fat living.” -- Adapted from a statement by William Livingston, referenced in Marriage to a Difficult Man: the “Uncommon Union” of Jonathan and Sarah Edwards, by Elisabeth Dodds

“A day will come when those who are not born again will wish that they had never been born at all.” -- J. C. Ryle

“The only people who achieve much are those who want knowledge so badly that they seek it while the conditions are still unfavorable.” -- C. S. Lewis

“A preacher who believes in the sufficiency of Scripture is content to trust the preaching of the Scriptures to be the means Christ uses to build his church.” -- Nick White

“Wisdom is not necessarily found in age or youth; wisdom is found in speaking the word of God.” -- Pat Windham
