Charles Haddon Spurgeon
“Those who feed upon the Word grow strong and peaceful and are by God’s grace hidden from the strife of tongues.”
Charles Haddon Spurgeon, The Golden Alphabet: An Exposition of Psalm 119

John   Murray
“It has been charged that this doctrine represents the Son as winning over the incensed Father to clemency and love, a supposition wholly inconsistent with the fact that the love of God is the very fount from which the atonement springs.”
John Murray, Redemption Accomplished and Applied

Joe Rigney
“The written, authoritative word of God is what keeps us on the right path. It keeps our metaphors and analogies in check. The law of the Lord revives the soul, makes us wise so we don’t say foolish things about God, enlightens our eyes so we see God everywhere, and guards us from error.”
Joe Rigney, Strangely Bright: Can You Love God and Enjoy This World?

E.M. Forster
“As they walked up the garden, the orange cactus fell, and Mr. Beebe’s last vision was of the garden-child clasping it like a lover, his dark head buried in a wealth of blossom.

“It is terrible, this havoc among the flowers,” he remarked.”
E.M. Forster, A Room with a View

Joe Rigney
“Good music excellently played beautifies the world, calling people out of the prison of themselves to something greater and grander. Literature, both writing and reading it, is strategic. How many people have been primed to receive the gospel because they read The Chronicles of Narnia as children? And how much medieval philosophy and classical poetry and fantastic fiction did C. S. Lewis have to read before he was equipped to write those precious books?”
Joe Rigney, The Things of Earth: Treasuring God by Enjoying His Gifts
