"Done By The Book"

“The Bible is alive, it speaks to me. it has feet, it runs after me. It has hands, it lays hold of me.”

Martin Luther

“The Bible teaches us the best way of living, the noblest way of suffering and the most comfortable way of dying”

Rev. John Flavell

I prayed for faith and thought that someday faith would come down and strike me like lightning. But faith did not seem to come. One day I read in the tenth chapter of Romans, “Now faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.” I had closed my Bible and prayed for faith. I now opened my Bible and began to study, and faith has been growing ever since.

D. L. Moody
