John R. Rice Quotes of the Week

Praise the Lord for good work to do for Him. - John R. Rice 

I heard a preacher say a very foolish thing to young people: "If you can keep from preaching, don't preach." That is like saying, "If you can't help yourself, go ahead and get drunk." That is not right. Rather, let's put it another way: If the Lord doesn't stop you, go on and preach. If the Lord doesn't stop you, work all the time for Him. - John R. Rice

Some ask if healing is in the atonement. Yes, like the resurrection body is in the atonement. We haven't gotten it all yet. One day all will be restored, and it will then be wonderful, perfect healing. - John R. Rice

It is not always God's will to heal the sick but it is always His will to do something good with sickness, isn't it? It isn't an accident. It is not something that slipped up on God. So "He makes all their bed in their sickness." - John R. Rice

Patriotism is a Christian virtue. Patriotism and Christianity go together. - John R. Rice

One is not a good Christian who is not a patriot, who doesn't love his country, who doesn't obey the laws. He may be saved, yet be a rebel is society and a very poor Christian. - John R. Rice

A child may disobey his parents, and a citizen may disobey the laws of his country and have no respect for the laws, but that is not Christianity. Patriotism and Bible Christianity go together. Godliness and patriotism are akin. So the great patriots of America have been godly men. - John R. Rice
