Good Christians like to testify. If you don't, you are not a good Christian. And if you used to and you don't now, you have backslidden. - John R. Rice
Do you know how to tell whether you are backslidden or not? You find out whether you take the same joy in secret prayer as you used to. Then do you like to testify? Have you always got something good to say about Jesus? Do you love to brag on Him? If you don't, you are backslidden. And so you need to be open and out and out for Jesus. I don't want anyone to mistake it. I want to tell it, I want to claim Jesus openly. - John R. Rice
No Scripture ever contradicts another Scripture, if it be rightly interpreted. - John R. Rice
It is only fair to remind you what is everywhere apparent in the Bible, not all who say, "Lord, Lord," are saved, as Jesus Himself plainly tells us in Matthew 7:21-23. Not all who believe the Bible are saved, for we are plainly told that "the devils also believe and tremble." So, acceptance of a fact mentally is not saving faith, and, of course, no one pretends that it is. - John R. Rice
If you think of faith as simply believing certain doctrinal facts, then, of course, you have missed the whole point. A fervent trust in Christ, a reliance on Christ to do what He promised to do, is faith. Mental acceptance of certain doctrines is not faith in the sense of John 3:16, and all the other blessed promises of salvation by faith. - John R. Rice
To mention the name of God or of Christ without either sincerely honoring Him or without earnestly calling upon Him in reverent prayer is taking the name of God in vain. - John R. Rice
No one is safe on Bible doctrine unless he is willing to take at honest face value every clear-cut repeated statement of the Bible. - John R. Rice
