Unite with a church where they believe in the Bible and where they preach the Bible. Avoid the churches where words are spoken, open or veiled, that have a tendency to undermine your faith in the Bible as a reliable revelation from God, the only rule of faith and practice.
—R. A. Torrey
I know that some of our knees are a bit old, but I still thought this interesting.
“Oftentimes, it helps us to a realization of the presence of God to read the Bible on our knees. The Bible became a new book to me when I took to reading it on my knees.”
—R. A. Torrey
All supposed leadings of God should be tested by the Word of God. The Bible is God’s revealed will. Any leading that contradicts the plain teaching of the Bible is certainly not the leading of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit does not contradict Himself.
—R. A. Torrey
People tell us the Bible is full of things that are impossible to believe. I know of nothing else so impossible to believe as that a holy God should love such individuals as you and me, as the Bible says He does. But as impossible as it is to believe, it is true.
—R. A. Torrey
The one who neglects his Bible is bound to make a failure of the Christian life.
—R. A. Torrey
The testimony of Scripture is the testimony of God. What the Scriptures say is absolutely sure. What the Scriptures say God says.
—R. A. Torrey
Do not ask God to show you His will and then open your Bible at random and put your finger upon some text and take it out its connection without any relation to its real meaning and decide the will of God in that way. This is an irreverent and improper use of Scripture.
—R. A. Torrey
It is important to know the mind of man. It is absolutely essential to know the mind of God. The place to discover the mind of God is the Bible. This is the Book in which God reveals His mind
—R. A. Torrey
There is more wisdom in the Bible than there is in all the other literature of the ages. The one who studies the Bible will know more of real wisdom than the man who reads every other book and neglects his Bible.
—R. A. Torrey
I have found that the man who believes in the Bible always comes out ahead in the long run, and that the man who is too wise and too advanced to believe the Word of God come out behind, in the long run, every time.
—R. A. Torrey
The idea of monogamous same-sex relationships being acceptable to God emerges from an unwillingness to submit to the clear teaching of Scripture.
Alistair Begg
The evangelical is one who is entirely subservient to the Bible. He is a man of one book; he starts with it; he submits himself to it; this is his authority.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones
“The Bible is not only good but better than the best of treasure.”
Scripture causes us to become aware of God where we would otherwise not see him; through its light, we behold God’s attributes, spread out in all of the works of his hands.
—Herman Bavinck
The Scripture knows of no earnings that men can make of themselves but death
—John Owen
The very center and core of the whole Bible is the doctrine of the grace of God…
—J. Gresham Machen
“Be thankful, therefore, beloved, whenever you read the Scripture, whether it instructs you, or warns you, or humbles you.”
– Charles Spurgeon
It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible. Do not ever let anyone claim to be a true American patriot if they ever attempt to separate religion from politics.
—George Washington
There is a wide difference between understanding *the doctrine of the Scripture* as in the letter, and a true knowing the mind of Christ.
—John Owen
The Scripture cannot deceive us, if rightly understood; but it may, if perverted, prove the occasion of confirming us in a mistake. The Holy Spirit cannot mislead those who are under his influence; but we may suppose that we are so, when we are not.
—John Newton

The Bible is one of the greatest blessings bestowed by God on the children of men. It has God for its Author, salvation for its end, and truth without any mixture for its matter. It is all pure, all sincere; nothing too much; nothing wanting!
