John R. Rice Quotes of the Week

The simple truth is, anybody who turns from the Bible does it because he has a wicked heart and is not willing to turn from his sins and seek the truth. - John R. Rice

I confess that I seek no friendship of hypocrites who pretend to love the Lord Jesus, pretend to be Christians, and then deny every fundamental of the Christian Faith, and stab Christ in the back and try to wreck the faith of the young and innocent and ignorant. I say frankly that I am trying to be true to Christ; I am not especially striving for what you call "human civility." If I talk as the Lord Jesus talked about His detractors and deniers, it will not appear polite. If I pronounce the anathema that Paul pronounced on those untrue to Christ, I will not appear civil. If I follow the plain instructions (inspired of God) of the beloved Apostle John, I will not please infidels in the church, who want the friendship and the money of honest Christians while they deny the deity of Jesus Christ. - John R. Rice

You demand to be free from the letter of the Scriptures, but actually what you think is freedom is bondage. How could there be any freedom when you are enslaved to your own will, enslaved to the opinions of men--poor, human, fallible creatures like yourself? No, the Lord Jesus taught that the only true freedom is under divine authority, the authority of God in Christ and in the divinely inspired Bible. - John R. Rice

There is not a single contradiction in the Bible. No one has to break a single command of God in order to keep other commands. - John R. Rice

People who do not believe the Bible ought not try to quote the Bible to try to prove their sinful plans and ideas. - John R. Rice

Rose again! That is part of the saving Gospel! The only Saviour who could do anybody any good would be a risen Saviour. A dead Saviour couldn't save you. And nobody is saved who doesn't believe that Jesus died and that He rose again and He took the sinner's place. - John R. Rice

You don't have to know all the theology but you have to depend on the Saviour. You don't have to know all a doctor has to know but you have to risk the doctor.Jesus is the one. He is the risen Saviour. - John R. Rice
