Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Quote from George Santayana, philosopher

Truth holds together.  There is no phase of truth that is not related to every other phase of truth.  All things that are true are part of the truth and stand in proper relationship to God, who is Himself the truth.

James Montgomery Boice, modern philosopher

Pluralism is a word society employs during the transition from one orthodoxy to another.

Quote from E. R. Norman, English historian

We (Christians) are not called to be successful, we are called to be faithful.

Quote from Joel Parkinson

You cannot, simply cannot, build a culture when nothing is shameful anymore.

Ravi Zachariah, modern philosopher

The Biblical world-view demands that all human endeavor be a service to God, whether praying or riveting together a plane.  Men's vocations, therefore, are holy callings just as are church work or missionary activity.  In Genesis, when the descedants of Adam are named, their occupations are also given. (Gen. 4:20-22) When all of life is seen in this context, then important "spiritual" exercises, such as prayer, Bible study, and fellowship with fellow believers, take on greater importance in our battle for the whole world, both physical and spiritual.  In light of our current crisis, nothing could be more spiritual than saving our children from humanism, our economy from deprivation, and our liberty from extinction.

Marshall Foster, modern philosopher

A materialistic explanation for origins, informed by time and chance...only works when a person puts faith in some vague hope that somehow the world came to its present state of complexity through random sequences of nature.  That is not a scientific theory, but a speculative position of philosophy and theology. 

Russ Pulliam

There can be no neutrality for civil magistrates. Christ is the Prince of the kings of the earth... they also must bow before the scepter of Christ. And lands that do not obey that word will be brought to naught.

Iain Murray, modern philosopher

The correct principle of interpretation is not the Baptist one of discarding everything in the [Old Testament] not reasserted in the New, but rather the acceptance of everything in the Old not abrogated by the [New Testament] teaching

Gordon Clark, "First Principles of Theology," unpublished ins., pp. 763-764

If all of the Christians in America simply led one person to Christ this year, this nation would once again be overwhelmingly Christian, and most all of the problems of society would vanish like snow before the rising sun.  The solution to those problems is for us to become involved in our culture and to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.  If Christians would do those two things, this nation and this world would be transformed almost overnight.

Dr. D. James Kennedy

Such studies confirm that religion was expressed publicly and persistently for over a century after the American Revolution.  Religion and evangelical preaching buttressed - rather than repressed - the founding of the nation.  If it was beneficial once, what compelling argument has been made to demonstrate that it is less necessary or less salutary today?

David W. Hall

To conclude then, the sum is, in words recently penned: ‘The whole range and content of education must be God-centered; that is, God must be the unifying principle and the interpreting principle of the whole curriculum.’

John Murray, modern philosopher

Each religion has a form of government, and Christianity astonished the world by establishing self-government.  With the landing of the Pilgrims in 1620, Christian self-government became the foundation-stone of the United States of America.  'The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone  of the corner.'(Ps. 118:22; Matt. 21:42)

Verna M. Hall

Beware of manufacturing a god of your own: A god who is all mercy but not just, A god who is all love but not holy, A god who has a heaven for everybody but a hell for none ... Such a god is an idol of your own..The hands of your own fancy and sentimentality have made him. He is not the God of the Bible.

J.C. Ryle quote

...the gospel is not a great little addition...The gospel is not about self-therapy...It is about coming before our great God and Savior, confessing our sins, entrusting ourselves to Him, and surrendering our claim upon ourselves to Him.  What is most needed, and what is most lacking in the church, is a little character in differentiating its message from self-help therapies and marketing strategies.  Our deficiency is not that we lack the right technique.  It is that we often don't have a real alternative.

David F. Wells, distinguished research professor at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary

A liberal is one who believes that 600 Biblical laws are 'tyranny,' and 70,000 government laws a year are 'democracy.

Bojidar Marinov, modern Bulgarian reformer
