Within this page and throughout IPoint, there will be inspirational quotations from many of the world's leading authorities in the realm of Biblical teaching and preaching. Most of the quotations are cited from the book, "Punch Lines", written by Curtis Hutson. (You may order this book from IPoint through email.) The sayings in this book are a compilation of ideas, principles and biblical truths stated in memorable ways that will let you communicate big ideas with a simple punch line. Some Christians are so ignorant about the Bible, they think an epistle is an apostle's wife. One evidence of the value of the Bible is the character of those who oppose it. John Watson, enlarging on the thought that the Bible is so simple that a wayfaring man or a fool need not err therein, said, "It is shallow enough so that the most timid swimmer may enjoy its waters without fear, and yet deep enough for the most expert swimmer to enjoy it without touching bottom." IT IS IMPOSSIBLE MENTALLY OR SOCIALLY TO ENSLAVE A BIBLE-READING PEOPLE. - Horace Greely. Joshua was a busy man---decisions to make, burdens to bear, and the opposition to meet---but he was still expected to have morning and aevening Bible study (see Joshua 1:8). If the translators go much farther in revising and modernizing the Scriptures they'll be having the 5000 fed on a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken. - Red O'Donnell. THE CROSS IS THE LAST ARGUMENT OF GOD. - Spurgeon. It took more than nails to hold Jesus to the cross. The bonds of love held Him there. - Rolla O. Swisher. FOLLOWING THE LINES OF LEAST RESISTANCE MAKES RIVERS AND MEN CROOKED. MUCH MAY BE KNOWN OF A MAN'S CHARACTER BY WHAT EXCITES HIS LAUGHTER. - Goethe. The test of your character is what it takes to stop you. - Bob Jones, Sr. Brains and beauty are God's gifts; character is your own acheivement. IF THE LORD FAILS ME AT THIS TIME, IT WILL BE THE FIRST TIME. - George Mueller. God writes with a pen that never blots, speaks with a tongue that never slips, and acts with a hand that never fails. When God measures a man, He puts the tape around the heart instead of the head. God is more interested in making us what He wants us to be than giving us what we think we ought to have. THE MAN WHO WALKS WITH GOD ALWAYS KNOWS IN WHAT DIRECTION HE IS GOING. You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips. GOD CALLED US TO PLAY THE GAME... NOT TO KEEP THE SCORE. Be an "AMEN" Christian, but don't shout it any louder than you live it. DELAYED OBEDIENCE IS DISOBEDIENCE. NO MAN EVER GOT LOST ON A STRAIGHT ROAD. - Abraham Lincoln. Christianity is a religion of paradoxes. The way up is down; the way to get is to give; the way to be first is to be last; and the way to live is to die. A Christian is not perfect; he is FORGIVEN. CHRISTIANITY HELPS US TO FACE THE MUSIC EVEN WHEN WE DON'T LIKE THE TUNE. You don't have to look like you just fell out of the back end of a hearse to be a Christian. TOO MANY CHRISTIAN ARE LIKE ARCTIC RIVERS - FROZEN AT THE MOUTH! We should not ask, "How far can I go into the world and still be a Christian?" but rather, "How near can I live to God?" Without God we should fear to move, but when He bids us go, it is dangerous to tarry. So live that when people speak evil of you, no one will believe it. A CHRISTIAN SHOWS WHAT HE IS BY WHAT HE DOES WITH WHAT HE HAS. |
