There’s a great deal to say in the Bible about the signs we’re to watch for, and when these signs all converge at one place we can be sure that we’re close to the end of the age.

Hmm, on my downtime, I take a shower or listen to the Bible on tape.

I am a Christian, and the Bible teaches me to forgive.

When the missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said ‚Let us pray.‘ We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bible and they had the land.

The Bible shows the way to go to heaven, not the way the heavens go.

Ronald Reagan used to alarm other constituencies by speaking freely about the End Times foreshadowed in the Bible.

To what greater inspiration and counsel can we turn than to the imperishable truth to be found in this treasure house, the Bible?

Hearing voices no one else can hear isn’t a good sign, even in the wizarding world.

The Bible is one of the most genocidal books in history.

I did once seriously think of embracing the Christian faith. The gentle figure of Christ, so full of forgiveness that he taught his followers not to retaliate when abused or struck, but to turn the other cheek – I thought it was a beautiful example of the perfect man.

The Bible tells us to be perfect. This is likely a scary thought for many people. It used to scare me. I didn’t think I could ever get there, no matter how hard I tried.

The Bible says today is the accepted time, today is the day of salvation… But there will come a time when it will be too late for you.

The Bible illustrated by Dore occupied many of my hours – and I think probably gave me many nightmares.

My family, frankly, they weren’t folks who went to church every week. My mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew but she didn’t raise me in the church, so I came to my Christian faith later in life and it was because the precepts of Jesus Christ spoke to me in terms of the kind of life that I would want to lead.

I’m just like you – I want to be a good human being. I’m doing my best, and I’m working at it. And I’m trying to be a Christian. I’m always amazed when people walk up to me and say, ‚I’m a Christian.‘ I always think, ‚Already? You’ve already got it?‘ I’m working at it. And at my age, I’ll still be working at it at 96.

There are more sure marks of authenticity in the Bible that in any profane history.

The language of all the interpretations, the translations, of the Judaic Bible and the Christian Bible, is musical, just wonderful. I read the Bible to myself; I’ll take any translation, any edition, and read it aloud, just to hear the language, hear the rhythm, and remind myself how beautiful English is.

Truth, according to the Christian faith, is God’s love for us in Jesus Christ. Therefore, truth is a relationship.

The Bible is clear – God’s definition of marriage is between a man and a woman.

Yes, the Bible should be taught in our schools because it is necessary to understand the Bible if we are to truly understand our own culture and how it came to be. The Bible has influenced every part of western culture from our art, music, and history, to our sense of fairness, charity, and business.

The people who were honored in the Bible were the false prophets. It was the ones we call the prophets who were jailed and driven into the desert.

The Bible says that Christians are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. On the job, in the grocery store, even among unsaved friends and family members, God’s people are there to bring seasoning to an unsavory situation.

I’ve read the last page of the Bible. It’s all going to turn out all right.

The Christian’s Bible is a drug store. Its contents remain the same, but the medical practice changes.

To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.

I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.

I have a fundamental belief in the Bible as the Word of God, written by those who were inspired. I study the Bible daily.

The book to read is not the one which thinks for you, but the one which makes you think. No book in the world equals the Bible for that.

The most successful detectives owe their success to noticing small signs. Scouts are natural detectives and never let the smallest detail escape them. These small things are called by Scouts ‚Sign.‘

I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older; then it dawned on me – they’re cramming for their final exam.

Science has not yet mastered prophecy. We predict too much for the next year and yet far too little for the next 10.

I don’t think people are going to talk in the future. They’re going to communicate through eye contact, body language, emojis, signs.

I read the Bible to myself; I’ll take any translation, any edition, and read it aloud, just to hear the language, hear the rhythm, and remind myself how beautiful English is.

Life is so, so short. Bible says it’s like a vapor.

Unless we form the habit of going to the Bible in bright moments as well as in trouble, we cannot fully respond to its consolations because we lack equilibrium between light and darkness.

The Bible is full of warnings about false prophets and false messiahs. These satanically inspired people have appeared in almost every generation of history.

In the Bible, we first encounter God when he sides with a bunch of slaves against a powerful Pharaoh, an act of grace freely given.

The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world… to see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion all in one.

So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence.

Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me.

If only God would give me some clear sign! Like making a large deposit in my name at a Swiss bank.

I don’t claim to be knowledgeable about theology. Most of my knowledge comes out of my experience and the lessons in the Bible. Every Sunday I’m home I teach 45 minutes and we boiled them down to one page for the new book, ‚Through the Year with Jimmy Carter.‘

The violence in the Bible is appalling.

I have two pairs of reading glasses. One pair is for reading fiction, the other for non-fiction. I’ve read the Bible twice wearing each pair, and it’s the same.

I think Bible principles are principles for life.

A lot of psychological principles and even medical principles, you see them coming around to what the Bible said hundreds of years ago: a merry heart is good like a medicine.

A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education.

This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do.

I don’t have freedom in the United States to go into a public school and preach the Gospel, nor is a student free in a public school to pray, or a teacher free to read the Bible publicly to the students. At the same time, we have a great degree of freedom for which I am grateful.

I think that the Bible teaches that homosexuality is a sin, but the Bible also teaches that pride is a sin, jealousy is a sin, and hate is a sin, evil thoughts are a sin. So I don’t think that homosexuality should be chosen as the overwhelming sin that we are doing today.

One of the first signs of the beginning of understanding is the wish to die.

I read the book of Job last night, I don’t think God comes out well in it.

I used to carry my father’s Bible and put it on the pulpit so he could preach.

I deal with more practical issues of the Bible.

Death wasn’t part of God’s original plan for humanity, and the Bible calls death an enemy – the last enemy to be destroyed.

When we go to the Bible we should keep in mind that the basic principles of the Bible are taught by God, but written down by human beings deprived of modern day knowledge. So there is some fallibility in the writings of the Bible. But the basic principles are applicable to my life and I don’t find any conflict among them.

However weak we are, however poor, however little our faith, or however small our grace may be, our names are still written on His heart; nor shall we lose our share in Jesus‘ love.

I used to read five psalms every day – that teaches me how to get along with God. Then I read a chapter of Proverbs every day and that teaches me how to get along with my fellow man.

Christ comes as a thief in the night, & it is not for us to know the times & seasons which God hath put into his own breast.

I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.

The Bible is the cradle wherein Christ is laid.
