I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older; then it dawned on me . . they’re cramming for their final exam.
George Carlin
I realized that people seem to become more studious of the Bible as they age; then it struck me that they are preparing for their ultimate test.

The Bible says that the devil is like a roaring lion (1 Peter 5:8). He comes in the darkness, and tries to frighten the children of God with his mighty roar. But when you switch on the light of the Word of God, you discover that there is no lion. There is only a mouse with a microphone! The devil is an imposter. Got it?

The Bible was not given for our information but for our transformation.
Dwight L. Moody
The Holy Scriptures were not presented to us for enlightenment but for transformation.
5.
It can not be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians, not on religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ!
Unknown
It is of utmost importance to reiterate endlessly that this nation was founded not on religious beliefs, but by followers of Jesus Christ, and not based on doctrines, but on the gospel of Jesus.

If our children have the background of a godly, happy home and this unshakable faith that the Bible is indeed the Word of God, they will have a foundation that the forces of hell cannot shake.
Ruth Graham
If our offspring are nurtured in a blessed, contented family environment and an unassailable conviction that the Bible is truly God's Word, they will have a footing which the powers of evil can not undermine.
9.
If God is for us, who can be against us?
Paul the Apostle
If God is our ally, who can oppose us?
10.
The Bible is very easy to understand. But we Christians are a bunch of scheming swindlers. We pretend to be unable to understand it because we know very well that the minute we understand, we are obliged to act accordingly.
Soren Kierkegaard

A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education.
Theodore Roosevelt
A profound understanding of Scripture is more beneficial than a university degree.

Kay Arthur
I am thankful for all circumstances that arise, knowing that the Almighty is directing and governing them.
13.
I am sorry for men who do not read the Bible every day. I wonder why they deprive themselves of the strength and pleasure.
Woodrow Wilson
I lament those who neglect to read Scripture daily; it is unfathomable why they deny themselves the vigor and joy.

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
John Adams
Our Constitution was crafted exclusively for a righteous and devout populace. It is totally inadequate to govern any other type of society.
15.
The Bible is the story of two gardens: Eden and Gethsemane. In the first, Adam took a fall. In the second, Jesus took a stand. In the first, God sought Adam. In the second, Jesus sought God. In Eden, Adam hid from God. In Gethsemane, Jesus emerged from the tomb. In Eden, Satan led Adam to a tree that led to his death. From Gethsemane, Jesus went to a tree that led to our life.
Max Lucado

Desmond Tutu
When the evangelists arrived in Africa they had their scriptures and we held sway over the terrain. They said 'Let us supplicate.' We shut our peepers. When we opened them again we had the scriptures and they held dominion over the land.

Max Lucado
I pledge my day to affection, delight, serenity, forbearance, benevolence, virtue, loyalty, meekness and temperance.
18.
Don't yield to Satan's lie that you don't have time to study the scriptures. Choose to take time to study them. Feasting on the word of God each day is more important than sleep, school, work, television shows, video games, or social media. You may need to reorganize your priorities to provide time for the study of the word of God. If so, do it!
Richard G. Scott

Education is useless without the Bible. The Bible was America's basic text book in all fields. God's Word, contained in the Bible, has furnished all necessary rules to direct our conduct.
Noah Webster
Learning is futile without the Holy Scriptures. The Bible served as the foundation for American studies in all disciplines. Divine Command, contained within the Bible, has supplied all essential regulations to guide our behavior.
26.
Hold fast to the Bible as the sheet-anchor of your liberties; write its precepts in your hearts, and practice them in your lives.
Ulysses S. Grant
Secure the Bible as your unshakable foundation of freedom; engrave its teachings into your soul, and apply them in your existence.
27.
No words can express how much the world owes to sorrow. Most of the Psalms were born in the wilderness. Most of the Epistles were written in a prison. The greatest thoughts of the greatest thinkers have all passed through fire. The greatest poets have "learned in suffering what they taught in song." In bonds Bunyan lived the allegory that he afterwards wrote, and we may thank Bedford Jail for the Pilgrim's Progress. Take comfort, afflicted Christian! When God is about to make pre-eminent use of a person, He put them in the fire.
George MacDonald
28.
The Bible warns us clearly that we must not attack men of God no matter how sinful they may have become or wicked in our eyes.
Benny Hinn
The Scriptures caution us emphatically that we must not assail spiritual leaders regardless of how wrong they may appear to us.
29.
For the essence of sin is man substituting himself for God [Gen. 3:1-7], while the essence of salvation is God substituting himself for man [2 Cor. 5:21]. Man asserts himself against God and puts himself where only God deserves to be; God sacrifices himself for man and puts himself where only man deserves to be.
John Stott
30.
The Law and the Gospel are two keys. The Law is the key that shutteth up all men under condemnation, and the Gospel is the key which opens the door and lets them out.
William Tyndale
'The Law and the Gospel are two portals. The Law is the gateway that seals all individuals under reproach, and the Gospel is the entrance which unlocks it and releases them.'

Alcohol may be man's worst enemy, but the bible says love your enemy.
Frank Sinatra
'Booze may be mankind's nemesis, yet the scriptures prescribe compassion for adversaries.'
32.
We have staked the whole future of our new nation, not upon the power of government; far from it. We have staked the future of all our political constitutions upon the capacity of each of ourselves to govern ourselves according to the moral principles of the Ten Commandments.
James Madison
33.
The Word of God well understood and religiously obeyed is the shortest route to spiritual perfection. And we must not select a few favorite passages to the exclusion of others. Nothing less than a whole Bible can make a whole Christian.
Aiden Wilson Tozer
34.
Whenever you put happiness before righteousness, you will be doomed to misery. That is the great message of the Bible from beginning to end. They alone are truly happy who are seeking to be righteous.

Where in the Bible does it say I have to drive a Honda?.

You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you mad.
Aldous Huxley
You shall uncover the reality, and the reality will drive you insane.
37.
In this age of space flight, when we use the modern tools of science to advance into new regions of human activity, the Bible... remains in every way an up-to-date book. Our knowledge and use of the laws of nature that enable us to fly to the Moon also enable us to destroy our home planet with the atom bomb. Science itself does not address the question whether we should use the power at our disposal for good or for evil. The guidelines of what we ought to do are furnished in the moral law of God.
Wernher von Braun
38.
Without God there could be no American form of government, nor an American way of life. Recognition of the Supreme Being is the first, the most basic, expression of Americanism. Thus, the founding fathers of America saw it, and thus with God's help, it will continue to be.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
39.
Every civil government is based upon some religion or philosophy of life. Education in a nation will propagate the religion of that nation. In America, the foundational religion was Christianity. And it was sown in the hearts of Americans through the home and private and public schools for centuries. Our liberty, growth, and prosperity was the result of a Biblical philosophy of life. Our continued freedom and success is dependent on our educating the youth of America in the principles of Christianity.
Noah Webster
40.
If we were to remove the Bible from public schools we would be wasting so much time punishing crimes and taking so little pains to prevent them.
Benjamin Rush
If we were to expunge the Bible from public schools we would be devoting much energy penalizing offenses and investing scant effort in thwarting them.
41.
Back when the Bible was written, then edited, then rewritten, then rewritten, then re-edited, then translated from dead languages, then re-translated, then edited, then rewritten, then given to kings for them to take their favorite parts, then rewritten, then re-rewritten, then translated again, then given to the pope for him to approve, then rewritten, then edited again, the re-re-re-re-rewritten again...all based on stories that were told orally 30 to 90 years AFTER they happened.. to people who didnt know how to write... so...

John Quincy Adams

The Devil did not tempt Adam and Eve to steal, to lie, to kill, to commit adultery; he tempted them to live independent of God.
Bob Jones, Sr.

Make your own Bible. Select and collect all the words and sentences that in all your readings have been to you like the blast of a trumpet.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
49.
The great enemy of the salvation of man, in my opinion, never invented a more effective means of limiting Christianity from the world than by persuading mankind that it was improper to read the Bible at schools.
Benjamin Rush
50.
It is impossible to enslave, mentally or socially, a bible-reading people. The principles of the bible are the groundwork of human freedom.
Horace Greeley
