I said, "Do you spell Chicago with a capital C?"
"Yes."
"Do you spell New York with a capital N.Y.?"
"Yes."
"Do you spell Dallas with a capital D?"
"Yes."
"Well, let's spell Heaven with a capital H. It is a real place."
And so it was done! - John R. Rice
Thank God, Jesus is the Way. He said, I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
"What church shall I join?" Just join Jesus, then join some church to serve Him. But don't join any church to be saved; join Jesus Christ.
"What way shall I be baptized?" Don't be baptized to get to Heaven; get baptized after you have Jesus and salvation.
"What is the true doctrine?" No doctrine will take you to Heaven. the thing you need to do is come to Jesus and depend on Him. And when you take Him, you have it. - John R. Rice
It isn't what church; it is what Saviour. It is not what doctrine, it is what Saviour. And in John 1:11 and 12 we read, "He came unto his own, and his own received him not. But as many as received him, to them gave he power...." Those who received Jesus. Received whom? The preacher? No, Jesus. Received what church? No, not a church - Jesus. What doctrine? Not a doctrine - Jesus.
You say, "How did they feel?" I don't know. They received Jesus. Never mind about the feeling.
One who has Jesus has salvation. - John R. Rice
One may speak against Christ and have forgiveness, but "whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him," we are told. I do not think He means simply saying some word about the Holy Spirit; I think that here the Lord Jesus meant that confrontation when the Spirit presses upon a man's conscience his need, his guilt, his awful danger, and when a man eventually, after long pleading, and after saying "No" many times, at last, so definitely, so deliberately, fights off the Holy Spirit that his will is hardened, his sinful state is congealed permanently, and the Holy Spirit at last, offended, goes away never to warn again. That is the unpardonable sin. - John R. Rice
Oh, these walls of jasper, those foundation stones of precious jewels! Those gates of pearl, those streets of gold! Oh, thou pure river of water of life flowing down from the throne, with the trees of life on either side bringing forth twelve manner of fruit, a fruit every month! Oh, that city where there is no night and no sin, no sorrow, no weeping any more! that city where the roses never fade, where old age never stiffens the limbs and dull the memory and dim the eye! that city where there is no need for the sun, for the Lord God and the Lamb are the light of it! Oh, beautiful, heavenly city prepared for all the saints of God! Heaven is calling. God wants you there, dear sinner. - John R. Rice
I am deeply grateful to God for His blessings on America, for His blessings on my family, for His blessings on Sword of the Lord Foundation, and for helping us get out the Gospel everywhere. We can thank God that although there are a lot of things wrong in America, the blessing of God has been upon us as on no other nation. Let us be sure to give God the glory.
I am glad that our forefathers had i...t in the plan for a proclamation of thanksgiving, when people would be called to give thanksgiving to God, just as in the time of war and trouble Abraham Lincoln called for a day of fasting and prayer. So Thanksgiving is a national holiday, stemming from the time when God intended and when people intended there should be a nation under God with His blessing.
...So this Thanksgiving time, praise God for Christ that is everywhere told in the Bible and could not be doubted by an honest heart. - John R. Rice

When a gift is offered free, you may do one of two things: you may take it gladly and say, "Thank you," or if you hate the one who offers it, you may turn it down- and that is what wicked men do when they reject salvation. But salvation is free, and Jesus knocks at your heart's door today, holding out to you salvation and forgiveness and eternal life and a home in Heaven. Oh, take it, friend, today; it is free! - John R. Rice
