Top Highlights
“These verses are not guesswork, but the conclusion of the wisest man that ever lived. The Bible indicates that a man always falls on his strongest point. Abraham, the man of faith, fell through unbelief†††; Moses, the meek man, fell through losing his temper; Elijah, the courageous man, fell through losing heart; and Solomon, the most colossally wise, wealthy, luxurious, superb king, fell through grovelling, sensual idolatry.” (source)
“Whenever we put theology or a plan of salvation or any line of explanation before a man’s personal relationship to God, we depart from the Bible line, because religion in the Bible is not faith in the rule of God, but faith in the God Who rules.” (source)
“God’s order is—no sin, no sickness, no devil, no war: His Permissive will is things as they are.” (source)
“We always get out of touch with the Bible attitude to things when we come to it with our own conclusions. For instance, the Bible does not prove the existence of God, nor does it prove that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. The Bible was written to confirm the faith of those who already believe in God.” (source)
“The Wisdom of the Hebrews looks at man’s history and attainments and says—What a magnificent ruin of what he was created to be!” (source)
