More Tidbits from the Title Page of My Bible


"O foolish, willful heart, have you indeed given up your last burden?  You have no need to carry them, or even the right to do so."


Matthew 16:13 is a Key for all of us: 

"Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, 
He began asking His disciples saying, 
'Who do people say that the Son of Man is?'
"And they said, 
'Some say John the Baptist; 
and others Elijah; 
but still others Jeremiah, 
or one of the prophets.'
"He said to them, '
But who do YOU say that I am?'"


Walking with God is only one step at a time and every step forward is as impossible as the last one, as we follow the voice of God in our lives.  God specialises in the impossible!


          B = Basic
          I = Instructions
          B = Before
          L = Leaving
          E = Earth!


"God fed Christians with the bread of tears and gave them to drink without stint of the cup of repentance, till the dawn of tribulation came again."  - Boha - Ed Din



You trust God when it is out of your hands!

Inside Front Page Favourites

Perhaps you, like me, write special things on the spare pages and blank areas of your Bible.  Here are the five I have on the inside of the front page (the flyleaf) of mine:

"Men may spurn our appeal, reject our message, oppose our arguments, despise our person, but they are helpless against...our prayers!"  J. Sidlow Baxter

"Of one hundred men, one will read the Bible, the ninety-nine will read the Christian."  D. L. Moody

"The difficulty about salvation is not that we should be good enough to be saved, but that we should SEE that we are BAD enough to NEED salvation.

Christ can ONLY save sinners!  Grace cannot begin until the Law has proven we are guilty.  Only THEN can Christ offer us His righteousness.

"Where is the foolish man who would think his personal filth is heavier than the grace of God?!"  
St Francis De Salles - in Consoling Thoughts, 16th Century

James 4:2:  "You have not because you ask not."  "It is as much decreed that God shall do it in answer to prayer as that He shall ever do it."  Dr. Lewis Barry Chaffer of Dallas Theological Seminary - from Geoff Smith's Bible flyleaf.
