We would faint, or falter, if we did not believe (Psa. 27:13), and faltering would prove our strength of faith to be very small (Prov. 24:10). But our faith would faint were it not upheld and quickened by the Word of God.
– Ralph Venning –
from Learning in Christ’s School, 1675
Scripture reading is our spiritual meal-time. Sound the gong and call in every faculty to the Lord’s own table to feast upon the precious meat which is now to be partaken of; or, rather, ring the church bell as for worship, for the studying of the Holy Scripture ought to be as solemn a deed as when we sing the hymns upon the Sabbath day in the courts of Lord’s house.

From Council for Christian Workers
The Bible is either absolute, or it’s obsolete.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
It is perilously easy to have amazing sympathy with God’s truth and remain in sin.
– Oswald Chambers –
Any concept of grace that makes us feel more comfortable sinning is not biblical grace. God’s grace never encourages us to live in sin, on the contrary, it empowers us to say no to sin and yes to truth.
– Randy Alcorn –
Depend upon it, it is God’s Word, not our comment upon God’s Word, that saves souls.
– Robert Murray McCheyne –
Every revival worthy of the name begins in the restoration of the Word of God to the pulpit, and its fearless proclamation by those anointed of God to preach the Gospel.
– Wilbur M. Smith –
The great need for the saint is to get his brains at work on the Word of God; otherwise he will stagnate, no matter how much he may name the Name of God.
