The Bible ... Wondrous Book! Book above and beyond all books as a river is beyond a rill in reach, as the sun is above and beyond the tallow dipped in brightness, as Niagara is above and beyond a mill pond in power ... Book against which infidelities has thrown its sharpest shafts and strongest spear of scorn and ridicule! Book at which the dissecting knives of modernistic intellectuals have whacked at like butchers ... Book against which some snipers from behind some pulpit stands and some college chairs have aimed their ill-grounded propositions, But withal, all its enemies have neither torn one hole in its holy vesture nor stolen one flower from its wondrous garden nor diluted one drop of honey from its abundant hive ... nor stayed its triumphant progress so much as one brief hour! It is still the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's compass, the soldier's sword And much more besides!”

“Once at Bellevue a man man came late. I was in midst of my sermon, In a whisper he asked the usher: 'How long has he been preaching?' 'About forty years" was the answer. 'Then he must be about through.”

“Jesus expresses the entire being of God with entire precession, finality, and perfection. In Him the silence of God breaks into full voice; without Him, the revealer of God, as Savior and Lord, man is a failure, the world is a carcass, eternity is a vast horror. So Jesus in His character reveals God - exegetes God. To know Jesus is to know God. What Jesus was to prodigal and publican, to mother and child, to harlot and hypocrite, to saint and sinner, to rich and poor, to devils and disciples, that is God always, everywhere, to all people.”

“We never test the resources of God until we attempt the impossible. His resources are not a pond drained. Now a well capable of being pumped dry ... Not a river that drought can diminish ... Not a reservoir that runs dry. And in such faith - a reckless faith - Jesus takes the keenest delight. There is nothing that so pleases Him as the most daring and reckless and romantic faith. He is never so joyed as when we trust Him with a mad abandon."
