QUOTE WHO? BY STEVE FINNELL
Did you ever notice when believers in Christ share their faith or debate doctrinal differences, they have a propensity to quote MEN?
QUOTE LIST: Martin Luther, John Hagee, Pope Benedict, John Calvin, Charles Stanley, John Wesley, Max Lucado, Pat Robertson, T. D. Jakes, Joel Osteen, Alexander Campbell etc.
You need to be careful who you quote! Case in point, the following quote of Billy Graham in response to a question from Robert Schuller.
BILLY GRAHAM: "Well, Christianity and being a true believer--you know, I think there's the Body of Christ. This comes from all Christian groups around the world, outside Christian groups. I think everybody that loves Christ, or knows Christ, whether they're conscious of it or not, they're members of the Body of Christ. And I don't think that we're going to see a great sweeping revival, that will turn the whole world to Christ at any time. I think James answered that, the apostle James in the first council in Jerusalem, when he said that God's purpose for this age is to call out people for His name. And that's what God is doing today, He's calling people out of the world for His name, whether they come from the Muslim world, or the Buddhist world, or the Christian world or the non believing world, they are members of the Body of Christ because they've been called by God. They may not even know the name of Jesus but they know in their hearts that they need something that they don't have, and they turn to the only light that they have, and I think that they are saved, and they're going to be with us in heaven."
BE CAREFUL WHO YOU QUOTE!
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.
WHEN I QUOTE, I want to quote Jesus, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Peter, Paul, James, etc.
It you stick with God's word for the truth and quote from it you will never be embarrassed or led astray.
EXTRA-BIBLICAL WRITINGS ARE NOT A SAFE SOURCE FOR TRUTH. BE CAREFUL WHO YOU QUOTE!
