Inspirational Quotes

“God is able to cause all things people do to us, even the bad things, to work together for our good (Rom. 8:28). That isn’t to say that all things are good, but that God can orchestrate the evil into a symphony of glory.”  –Sam Storms

“Truth is not individual, but universal; truth did not begin when we were born, it has always existed.”  –Gordon H. Clark

“Though there is not always grace where there is the fear of hell, yet, to be sure, there is no grace where there is no fear of God.”  –John Bunyan

“Character is the root of the tree, conduct, the fruit it bears.”  –E.M. Bounds

“In coming to understand anything we are rejecting the facts as they are for us in favor of the facts as they are.”  –C.S. Lewis

“Why does a biblical worldview matter?

If we don’t really believe and live the truth of God, then our witness will be confusing and misleading. Most of us go through life not recognizing that our personal worldviews have been deeply affected by the world. Through the media and other influences, the secularized American view of history, law, politics, science, God and man affect our thinking more than we realize. We then are “taken captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.” (Colossians 2:8)

However, by diligently learning, applying and trusting God’s truths in every area of our lives, we can begin to develop a deep comprehensive faith that will stand against the unrelenting tide of our culture’s non-biblical ideas. If we capture and embrace more of God’s worldview and trust it with unwavering faith, then we begin to make the right decisions and form the appropriate responses to questions on abortion, same-sex marriage, cloning, stem-cell research and even media choices. Because, in the end, it is our decisions and actions that reveal what we really believe.”

–Del Tackett

“A Bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t.”  –Charles Spurgeon

“And can it be that I should gain
An int’rest in the Savior’s blood?
Died He for me, who caused His pain?
For me, who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God, should die for me?

Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God, should die for me!

He left His Father’s throne above,
So free, so infinite His grace;
Emptied Himself of all but love,
And bled for Adam’s helpless race;
‘Tis mercy all, immense and free;
For, O my God, it found out me.

Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God, should die for me!

Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night;
Thine eye diffused a quick’ning ray,
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off, my heart was free;
I rose, went forth and followed Thee.

Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God, should die for me!

No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in Him is mine!
Alive in Him, my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness divine,
Bold I approach th’eternal throne,
And claim the crown, through Christ my own.

Amazing love! how can it be
That Thou, my God, should die for me!”

–Charles Wesley, 1738

“Every fear is distrust, and trust is the remedy for fear.”  –A.B. Simpson

“True and saving faith is not tipping the hat to Jesus. It is not nodding the head that he did a few things that I couldn’t do to help me get to heaven, but I was pretty much on my way given what I am in myself. Saving faith is the desperate thrust of a helpless soul upon the arms of an almighty Savior. It is clinging to Christ crucified in a death grip saying, ‘Save me, Lord, or I perish.'”  -Albert Martin
