  • “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the Sun has risen not only because I see it but because by it I see everything else.”

    - C. S. Lewis

  • No Substitute for Theology

    "Whatever keeps me from the Bible is my enemy, however harmless it may appear to be. Whatever engages my attention when I should be meditating on God and things eternal does injury to my soul. Let the cares of life crowd out the Scriptures from my mind and I have suffered loss where I can least afford it. Let me accept anything else instead of the Scriptures and I have been cheated and robbed to my eternal confusion."

    - Tozer, 'There Is No Substitute For Theology,' in That Incredible Christian

  • Rule of Thumb

    “When the plain sense of Scripture makes common sense, seek no other sense; therefore, take every word at its primary, ordinary, usual, literal meaning, unless the facts of the immediate context, studied in the light of related passages and axiomatic and fundamental truths, indicate clearly otherwise.”

  • Who Are the Elect?

    "The elect are whosoever will, and the non-elect, whosoever won't."

    - Henry Ward Beecher
