"He who
cannot draw on three thousand years is living hand to mouth."
---Johann Wolfgang van Goethe
"Someone said, ‘The dead writers are remote from us because we know so
much more than they did.’ Precisely, and they are that which we know."
---T.S. Eliot
"The further backward you can look, the farther forward you can see."
---Winston Churchill

the book is, the sooner it will be dated."
---C.S. Lewis

years with myself and my own century and am not so enamored of
either as to desire no glimpse of a world beyond them."

fruit that has in it seeds for more fruit. It is not a picture
on the wall: it is a window that invites us to wider horizons."
---Warren Wiersbe

ministers have not learned that sermonettes by preacherettes make
Christianettes."

I think it is fair and logical to conclude that if the believer

"Prayer
is not like a good recipe: simply follow a set of mechanical directions
and everything turns out right in the end. There is a profound
sense in which the sovereign, holy, loving, wise Father whom we
address in Jesus' name is more interested in us than in our prayers."
---D.A. Carson
"The Prayer of Jabez endorses
a view of Christian living that can accurately be called 'Christian
magic.' "
---J.D. Charles
"Jabez
is not about Christian prayer. I can recall only one instance
in the New Testament that deals with an appeal to enlarge one's
territory: Christ's temptation in the wilderness. The Lord's Prayer
is the Christian prayer and the model for all other Christian
prayers."
---James M. Kushiner
"Tradition
means giving votes to the most obscure of all classes, our ancestors.
It is the democracy of the dead. Tradition refuses to submit to
the small and arrogant oligarchy of those who happen to be walking
around."
---G.K.Chesterton
"When
God sends revival it is often very different from our romantic
expectations."
--- Richard Baxter
Ignorance is always correctable.

"The most dangerous enemy is the enemy within. Pride always
involves a comparison and judging others makes us blind to our
own evil. If when we judged others, our real motive was to destroy
evil, we should look for evil where it is certain to be found,
and that is in our own hearts."
--- Dietrich Bonhoeffer
