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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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 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.

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.

Every day that goes by puts us closer to the day when Christ will return.

Communism has decided against God, against Christ, against the Bible, and against all religion.

I have never changed my message. I preach the Bible, and I preach it with authority.

I deal with more practical issues of the Bible.

The Bible says that God has a reason for keeping us here; if He didn’t, He would take us to Heaven far sooner.

The Bible is the cradle wherein Christ is laid.

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

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.

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

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.

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 devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.

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.

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

Christ managed to boil down an awful lot of commandments to a few very simple rules for living. It’s when you go backwards through the ‚begats‘ and the Garden of Eden, and you start thinking, ‚Hang on, that’s a big punishment for eating one lousy apple… There’s a human-rights issue.‘

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

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

The Bible is a sanctum; the world, sputum.

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

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.

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.

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’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.

The Word of God is active, energizing, sharp and powerful like a two-edged sword.

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.

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

The violence in the Bible is appalling.

I think Bible principles are principles for life.

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

The New Testament says nothing of Apostles who retired and took it easy.

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

I keep a hotel room in my town, although I have a large house. And I go there at about 5:30 in the morning, and I start working. And I don’t allow anybody to come in that room. I work on yellow pads and with ballpoint pens. I keep a Bible, a thesaurus, a dictionary, and a bottle of sherry. I stay there until midday.

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.

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

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

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.

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.‘

God knows when the end of time will come, not some fanatic… The world will end someday, but the end of the world and the end of time are two different things.

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

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.

Jesus paid a tremendous price for us so we could have abundant life. He willingly took all of our sin on Himself and gave His life on the cross so we could be forgiven and have new life in Him.

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

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.

I have never sat down and studied the Bible, never consciously echoed its language, and am, in reality, as ignorant of it as most brought-up Christians. All of the Bible that I use in my work is remembered from childhood and is the common property of all who were brought up in English-speaking communities.

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

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.‘

Words are but the signs of ideas.

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.

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.
