The Christian’s Title Deed
The Word of God is as a title deed to all that the Christian possesses in Christ. It is a covenant guaranty from God which is sealed in Heaven.
Why Read?
The supreme purpose of reading other books, is solely to increase one’s knowledge of the Book of books. To neglect the Bible for other books is fatal.
Just Do Something!
To do nothing is to do something. To fail to bring Biblical solutions to bear upon problems is to allow sinful conditions to continue to accept them and adapt to them is contrary to God’s mandate.
You Are the Only Bible Some People Will Ever Read
Christians should be walking Bibles, living the truths written. The Word is not only a guide to knowledge, but to obedience.
The Word and Worship
Word and worship belong indissolubly to each other. All worship is an intelligent and loving response to the revelation of God, because it is the adoration of His Name. Therefore acceptable worship is impossible without preaching. For preaching is making known the Name of the Lord, and worship is praising the name of the Lord made known. Far from being an alien intrusion into worship, the reading and preaching of the Word are actually indispensable to it.
John Stott, Between Two Worlds: The Art of Preaching in the Twentieth Century, pp. 81-82
The Expositor’s Task
The expository preacher is a bridge builder, seeking to span the gulf between the Word of God and the mind of man. He must do his utmost to interpret the Scripture so accurately and plainly, and to apply it so forcefully, that the truth crosses the bridge.
The Bible’s Theme
The Bible is the story of God’s counter-offensive against sin. It is the grand narrative of how God made it right, how He is making it right, and how He will one day make it right finally and forever.
The Bible Changes Us
We do not truly understand the Bible until it changes our thinking and lifestyle.
J. Randolph Jaeggli, Biblical Viewpoint Nov. 2000 “Producing Skillful Preachers Like Ezra”, pp. 13-14
The Kind of Bible Man Would Write
The Bible is not such a book a man would write if he could, or could write if he would.
