QUOTES OF THE WEEK!

Going to church doesn't make a man a Christian anymore than going into a garage makes him an automobile! - Billy Sunday

Hell will be so full of church members that their feet will be sticking out the windows! - Sunday

I met a man on a train some years ago, down in Texas. I did not know him but he knew me. He was a preacher, a very solemn sort of brother. He said, "It costs a good deal to be true to the gospel."
I replied, "Does it? I did not know that. What do you mean? What does it cost you?"
"I get a good many kicks."
To which I replied once more, "Oh, is that all? A preacher is not worth his salt to God or man until he has received so many kicks he cannot feel them any longer." And that is true. - T. T. Shields

To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society. - Theodore Roosevelt

The public cannot be too curious concerning the characters of public men. - Samuel Adams

Today, when a concerted effort is made to obliterate this point, it cannot be repeated too often that the Constitution is a limitation on the government, not private individuals- that it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government- that it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government. - Ayn Rand


All the quotes today were taken from the Sept.-Oct. 2007 issue of THE BIBLICAL EVANGELIST, the best Christian newspaper I know of. It is more like THE SWORD OF THE LORD when John R. Rice was still at the helm than the current Sword. And why shouldn't it be? The editor of the BE (Evangelist Robert L. Sumner) was the OFFICIAL biographer of John R. Rice. They were close friends and Dr. Rice regularly published sermons of Sumner's in the Sword, printed books and pamphlets by the same, and gave him a weekly (at the time) column in the Sword to write!
