QUOTES OF THE WEEK

The Bible is indeed no ordinary book! Hated and hounded as no other book has ever been, yet indestructible; despised and yet honoured; deride, and yet highly esteemed; declared dead, and yet alive. Mighty emperors and kings and priests have shunned no toil and guilt in order to exterminate it; wise and scholarly men have thoroughly refuted it; and now that higher criticism lord over it and science has done away with it, it is spreading over the whole earth with astonishing rapidity in millions of copies and hundreds of languages, and is being read and preached from pole to pole. - Dyson Hague

There is more power in that little Book to save men and purify, gladden and beautify their lives, than in all other literature put together- more power to lift men up to God. A stream never rises higher than its source, and a book that has a power to lift men up to God that no other book has, must have come from God in a way that no other book has. - R. A. Torrey

Revelation is the act of communicating divine knowledge to the mind, but inspiration is the act of the same Spirit controlling making that knowledge know to others. - Charles Hodge

Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?  (Jeremiah 23:29) The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever. (Isaiah 40:8); and so on, almost ad infinitum. Everywhere in the Sacred Record you find the same suggestion of divine authorship. Jesus and the apostles always recognized it and gave it prominence and emphasis. Its importance and value should not be underestimated. - L. W. Munhall

Give me the plenary verbal theory with all its difficulties rather than the doubt. I accept the difficulties, and humbly wait for their solution; but while I wait I am standing on a rock. - Bishop Ryle
