In Scripture we have found peace and order in our home and our family, and that's of course what we want for these families, ... Peace and harmony and love in a home is a good thing.
James Wallace
Service is the highest spiritual discipline. Prayer and meditation, or knowledge of scripture and Vedanta (holy scriptures of India), cannot help you reach the goal as quickly as service can. Service has a double effect, it extinguishes the ego and gives bliss.
Sri Sathya Sai Baba
If any of these be wanting, a Christian is not perfect, so much as in the perfection of parts. He is but half a Christian who is an orthodox believer, if he be not practical also; and he is but half a Christian who is practical, if he be not an orthodox believer. These ends of Scripture do not consist nor stand sure one without another.
George Gillespie
I always have a hard time answering this one. There are some symbols in there that maybe be misinterpreted that way, but as far as the game itself, it's just a game. But anything that you would spend any more time on than you would reading scripture or focusing on your relationship with Christ is going to have the same effect.
Daniel Howell
In high school, I had close friends who introduced me to Christ in a different way and to reading scripture.
Amy Schlatterbeck
Though troubles assail And dangers affright, Though friends should all fail And foes all unite; Yet one thing secures us, Whatever betide, The scripture assures us, The Lord will provide.
John Newton
We were hoping the outcome would not be what it was. We know, though, what the scripture says about children: Their souls go straight to heaven.
Don Jordan
For the most part, we have an opportunity to go to church and learn the context of Scripture, but we struggle with applying that and putting it into forward action, rather than learning it in principles.
Stephen Lynch
I say, as to this horrible and blasphemous doctrine, our cause is common with many others, who have both wisely and learnedly, according to Scripture, reason, and antiquity, refuted it.
Robert Barclay
For the vast majority of believers today, Scripture is a route to God but not necessarily the destination.
Bruce Feiler
The way he used examples of our actual lives and compared it to the scripture made it easier for me to understand.
Jennifer Austin
Scripture nowhere divides worship up into a series of independent 'elements', each requiring independent scriptural justification. Scripture nowhere tells us that the regulative principle demands that particular level of specificity, rather than some other.
John Frame
The school district and Ministerium will begin the service with a welcome. Then (the Rev.) Alex Perednia will read scripture verses and give a eulogy.
Steve Adams
The lines of poetry, the period of prose, and even the texts of Scripture most frequently recollected and quoted, are those which are felt to be preeminently musical.
William Shenstone
He'd believe anything provided it's not in Holy Scripture.
Douglas Feaver
There's a great Scripture about counting the cost before you start building the house, ... I think that's a big part of the problem. Where's the bottom end? Well, it fell out.
Ricky Skaggs
To criticize the prophet Muhammad is as direct an attack as mocking or attacking the Koran, which is seen as the word of God or the sacred Scripture. Muhammad is seen as the living Koran. His life Muslims are to emulate.
John Esposito
Such thinking -- in which the responsibility for repentance, restoration and healing falls exclusively on one side of a disagreement -- is not the way of reconciliation laid out for us by the Scripture.
Frank Griswold
We would hope that good Christian leaders would distance themselves from Pat Robertson's remarks. It is pure arrogance for Robertson to suggest that he has divine knowledge of God's intent and purpose based on his interpretation of scripture.
Abraham H. Foxman
The Roman Church has never erred, and, according to the scripture, never shall err.
Pope Gregory Vii
The job of the university is giving students a clear, solid, organic knowledge of Catholic doctrine based on Holy Scripture. They are places where churches must mobilize resources.
Avery Dulles
Our people believe national boundaries are to be respected and Scripture reinforces the rule of law.
Jim Backlin
Most people are bothered by those passages of Scripture they do not understand, but the passages that bother me are those I do understand.
Mark Twain
All anger is not sinful, because some degree of it, and on some occasions, is inevitable. But it becomes sinful and contradicts the rule of Scripture when it is conceived upon slight and inadequate provocation, and when it continues long.
Babe Paley
Here I am, a nice Jewish mother, writing the Foreword for a book about Christian nice guys. Why? Because, within the context of Scripture, there is a message for all of us: men and women are created differently, equal in value, but different.
Dr. Laura Schlessinger
Jewish studies has now moved from its traditional place in Catholic institutions, which is a minor place in the theology department where courses on the Hebrew Scripture have been taught, to a program that is much more expansive.
Dwayne Carpenter
I cannot imagine why anyone could feel betrayed. Most of us don't make deals; we try to understand Scripture and faithfully preach it.
Paige Patterson
It's a story that fails as history, but that's why it succeeds as scripture -- because it's elliptical, ... The story has the ability to be perpetually now.
Bruce Feiler
They've put scripture from Genesis in each animal on different spots. What they call it is 'God on the move.' Nobody will know it but the actor, but it is just a reminder to the actor that you are carrying out the gospel.
Bill Mcconnell
Anyone who seeks a prayer life guided by Scripture will not take this study seriously. Prayer is based upon a relationship, namely a relationship with God through Jesus Christ, and prayer is itself a part of that relationship. And relationships cannot properly be evaluated by scientific methods.
Don Whitney
For a church to affirm a sinful behavior is for that church to conduct a fruitless and deceptive ministry. Regardless of the good intentions of Pastor Haney, the ministry his church has facilitated and that he personally supports is a ministry quite unlikely to confront homosexual behavior as a sin. That stance is contrary to Scripture.
Gary Ledbetter
Allow (stress) to dominate your life and you get chaos. Put God first and somehow everything falls into place. Scripture promises it.
Mariette Ulrich
No man can in any measure resemble the scripture saints.
Charles Simeon
Physical intimacy between two people of the same sex is not condoned in the Scripture.
Andrea Phillips
The band distinguished themselves from other Christian musicians by including Bible Scripture in all of their lyrics, high-energy evangelism and humor that was enjoyed by all ages. I can wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone.
Josh Mcdowell
Compare Scripture with Scripture. False doctrines, like false witnesses, agree not among themselves.
William Gurnall
The point I try to make with the kids is, well, scripture tells us that man looks on the outside, but God looks to your heart.
Cathy Sturgill
Written in the Scripture.
Juan Carlos
I see no room in holy Scripture for any sexual activity outside of matrimony.
George Carey
Here in the scripture is a woman who is downright no good, ... That's what people called her. She's not allowed to be among us. We are dignified. We are church folk, but we are dignified.
Cynthia Pratt
More people are troubled by what is plain in Scripture than by what is obscure.
Roy L. Smith
I therefore became very melancholy and highly troubled. No Scripture could comfort me, though I was quite well versed in it.
Jacob Boehme
Alcoa's earnings appears to resemble a biblical scripture because it can be interpreted in many ways.
