More Bible Study Quotes

Don't yield to Satan's lie that you don't have time to study the scriptures. Choose to take time to study them.

A Bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t. — Charles Spurgeon

Here then is the real problem of our negligence. We fail in our duty to study God's Word not so much because it is difficult to understand, not so much because it is dull and boring, but because it is work. Our problem is not a lack of intelligence or a lack of passion. Our problem is that we are lazy. — R. C. Sproul

A Cultist is one who has a strong belief in the Bible and the Second Coming of Christ; who frequently attends Bible studies; who has a high level of financial giving to a Christian cause; who home schools his children; who has accumulated survival foods and has a strong belief in the 2nd Amendment, and who distrusts Big Government. — Janet Reno

By studying the Bible one can at best know about God. There is a vast difference between knowing God and knowing about God.

These power encounters are usually of a variety which cannot be found within the context of the dusty moldy pages of God's past tracks. — Tommy Tenney

I do not believe that God intended the study of theology to be dry and boring. Theology is the study of God and all his works! Theology is meant to be LIVED and PRAYED and SUNG! All of the great doctrinal writings of the Bible (such as Paul's epistle to the Romans) are full of praise to God and personal application to life. — Wayne Grudem

The Spirit is not given to make Bible study needless, but to make it effective. — J. I. Packer

Genuine Christianity is more than a relationship with Jesus, as expressed in personal piety, church attendance, Bible study, and works of charity. It is more than discipleship, more than believing a system of doctrines about God. Genuine Christianity is a way of seeing and comprehending all reality. It is a worldview. — Charles Colson
