November Quotes

Godliness has 'promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.' But the only way one can enter into godliness is by turning to God as a repentant sinner and receiving the Saviour He has provided in the Gospel. Therefore the crying need of our degenerate times is for a revival of true old-fashioned, Christ- centered, Bible preaching that will call upon all men everywhere to repent in view of that coming day when God will judge the world in righteousness by His Risen Son. —Henry Ironside

Many people are being persuaded that they cannot be considered intelligent or well educated if they insist on the doctrine of the verbal inspiration of the Book. Let me say to you that truth has always lived with the minority; what the majority says at a given moment is usually wrong.

The greatest minds of history have been mesmerized by the Scriptures -- Isaac Newton, Thomas Aquinas. Isaac Newton wrote more about biblical prophecy than even physics.

November 11

The only way to learn strong faith is to endure great trials. —George Muller

November 16

Christians actually need to be confronted by their real need -- an understanding of God's holiness and their own sinfulness -- so they can be usable to Him for His Glory.

November 19

I saw more clearly than ever, that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was, to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not, how much I might serve the Lord, how I might glorify the Lord; but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man may be nourished. ...I saw that the most important thing I had to do was to give myself to the reading of the Word of God and to meditation on it. —George Muller

To think that's all just a bunch of happy accidents -- I think it's more rational to think that that's a byproduct of design. —Charlie Kirk
