JOHN R. RICE QUOTES OF THE WEEK

 The person who does not read the Bible is ignorant. A man may have a Ph. D. degree, but he is not truly educated if he is not familiar with the Bible.- John R. Rice [Is God A "Dirty Bully"?, published 1958, pg. 174]

Here then is a truth that everybody ought to know. Fortunetelling, divining, soothsaying, trying to foretell the future by signs, by palm reading, by tea leaves, by communication with evil spirits, or pretended communication with the dead, is of Satan. It is wicked, it is deceptive, it is ruinous. - John R. Rice [Is God A "Dirty Bully"?, published 1958, pg. 176]

If you are a child of God, then you ought to forever renounce all the horoscopes, all the spiritualist seances, all the palmists and other fortunetellers. They are abominable in God's sight! To deal with such things is to deny the truth of the Bible. - John R. Rice [Is God A "Dirty Bully"?, published 1958, pg. 182]

It always costs something to serve Jesus Christ. - John R. Rice [Is God A "Dirty Bully"?, published 1958, pg. 184]

One preacher said to me, "You talk about Satan being against your work. Why do you think Satan does not attack me and bother me?

I answered in the familiar cowboy language of my boyhood, "If you twisted the Devil's tail as much as I do, he would hate you, too." - John R. Rice [Is God A "Dirty Bully"?, published 1958, pg. 187]

God takes the part of every Christian who is true to Him. Go on, my brother, my sister, and win souls at any cost! Take your plain stand against sin anywhere and everywhere. God never leaves one alone and ashamed and forsaken who is true to Him. Trouble may come in the will of God, but thank God, always God allows only what is best and then delivers His servant who is faithful! - John R. Rice [Is God A "Dirty Bully"?, published 1958, pg. 193]

Christians ought to make things right that have been wrong. Christians ought to restore that which is stolen. Christians ought to go and make peace with those they have wronged. Christians ought to pay up bad debts. - John R. Rice [Is God A "Dirty Bully"?, published 1958, pg. 197]
