-- John Newton, author of Amazing Grace

"When looking back on the lives of men and women of God, the tendency is to say, 'What wonderfully keen and intelligent wisdom they had, and how perfectly they understood all that God wanted!' But the keen and intelligent mind behind them was the mind of God, not human wisdom at all. We give credit to human wisdom when we should give credit to the divine guidance of God being exhibited through childlike people who were 'foolish' enough to trust God’s wisdom and His supernatural equipment."

-- Oswald Chambers

"We have become so drugged by the narcotics of extremes that what once was morally unacceptable has become morally invisble."

-- Paris Reidhead

"The more I study science, the more I believe in God."

-- Albert Einstein

"The Declaration of Independence dogmatically bases all rights on the fact that God created all men equal; and it is right; for if they were not created equal, they were certainly evolved unequal. There is no basis for democracy except in a dogma about the divine origin of man."

-- G.K. Chesterton

"But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious Hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own."

"A gospel that draws sinners to a commitment without a consciousness of sin will produce a harvest of those who have no zeal, fire, fruit—they are not 'hot' for God. Fruitless, lukewarm Christians are not truly part of Christ's Body—they merely weigh heavy in His stomach until He spews them out of His mouth."

-- Ray Comfort, Hells Best Kept Secret

"Before I knew the Lord, I wanted to be loved by the world and set apart for my own glory. Now, as a Christian, I want to be holy, loved by God, and set apart for Him and His glory. I think of 'holiness' as living for an audience of One."

-- Kirk Cameron
