“The Bible is not an end in itself, but a means to bring men to an intimate and satisfying knowledge of God, that they may enter into him, that they may delight in his presence, may taste and know the inner sweetness of the very God himself in the core and center of their hearts” — A. W. Tozer

“The book of Acts was written only because the apostles acted. You are in the right position when you allow the glory of the new life to cause you to act. Live in the Acts of the Apostles, and every day you will see some miracle worked by the power of the living God.” – Smith Wigglesworth

“Your most profound and intimate experiences of worship will likely be in your darkest days—when your heart is broken, when you feel abandoned, when you’re out of options, when the pain is great—and you turn to God alone.” — Rick Warren

“What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.” – Jane Goodall

“Extraordinary afflictions are not always the punishment of extraordinary sins, but sometimes the trial of extraordinary graces.” – Matthew Henry

“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t—you’re right.” – Henry Ford

“Fear is a reaction. Courage is a choice.” – Winston Churchill

David testified, “I sought the Lᴏʀᴅ, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears” (Psalm 34:4). When we do the former, we can say the latter. – Dr. Jim Denison

“Jesus did not come into the world to make bad men good. He came into the world to make dead men live.” — Leonard Ravenhill

A man gave this remarkable testimony concerning the Word of God: “Never compare this Book with other books. Never think or say that this Book contains the Word of God. It is the Word of God. It is supernatural in origin, eternal in duration, inexpressible in value, infinite in scope, regenerative in power, infallible in authority, universal in interest, personal in application, inspired in totality. Read it through. Write it down. Pray it in. Work it out. And then pass it on.”

Truly the Word of God changes a person until he becomes “an epistle of Christ” (2 Corinthians 3:3). It transforms his mind, changes his character, moves him on from grace to grace, makes him an inheritor of the very nature of God. God comes in, dwells in, walks in, talks through, and dines with him who opens his being to the Word of God and receives the Spirit who inspired it. – Smith Wigglesworth
