For eighteen centuries every engine of destruction that human science, philosophy, wit, reasoning or brutality could bring to bear against a book has been brought to bear against that book to stamp it out of the world, but it has a mightier hold on the world today than ever before. If that were man's book it would have been annihilated and forgotten hundreds of years ago.
R. A. TorreyThe truly wise man is he who always believes the Bible against the opinions of any man.
R. A. TorreyAll that God is, and all that God has, are at the disposal of player. Prayer can do anything that God can do, and as God can do anything, prayer is omnipotent.
R. A. TorreyIt is clear that there must be difficulties for us in a revelation such as the Bible. If someone were to hand me a book that was as simple to me as the multiplication table and say, โThis is the Word of God; in it He has revealed His whole will and wisdom,โ I would shake my head and say, โI cannot believe it; that is too easy to be a perfect revelation of infinite wisdom.โ There must be, in any complete revelation of God's mind and will and character and being, things hard for the beginner to understand; and the wisest and best of us are but beginners.
