God is not interested in our public displays of piety. He's not interested in religion in terms of the outward show. He's interested in godliness.
R. C. SproulIt is fashionable in some academic circles to exercise scholarly criticism of the Bible. In so doing, scholars place themselves above the Bible and seek to correct it. If indeed the Bible is the Word of God, nothing could be more arrogant. It is God who corrects us; we donโt correct Him. We do not stand over God but under Him.
