  • According to the Bible, a genuine answer to prayer is getting what you ask for.

    John R. Rice (2000). “Prayer: Asking and Receiving”, p.38, Sword of the Lord Publishers
  • We ought to shout out our thanksgiving as if every war were over; as if there were no more big taxes; as if there were no sickness, no crime.

    War   Sickness   Crime  
  • God doesn't send His children to Hell either. It's just the Devil's children that God sends to Hell. Why should God look after the Devil's children.

  • Multitudes of people who expect to go to Heaven will go to a Hell of torment. Thousands of "good" people, "moral" people, church members, even church workers - yes, and, alas, even prophets, priests and preachers - will find themselves lost when they expected to be saved, condemned when they expected approval, cast out of Heaven when they expected to be received into eternal bliss. That is the explicit meaning of the words of our Lord... (see: Matt 7:21-23.]

    John R. Rice (1939). “Religious But Lost”, p.5, Sword of the Lord Publishers
  • No one can be a good Christian who does not with holy zeal set out to know, delight in, and live by the Word of God!

    John R. Rice (2000). “The Bible Garden”, p.86, Sword of the Lord Publishers
  • If you surrender yourself, and do not rush, but meditate on the Word of God, you will find prayer forming in your heart. It is a prayer inspired by the Holy Spirit, a prayer that God will be pleased to hear.

    John R. Rice (2000). “Prayer: Asking and Receiving”, p.262, Sword of the Lord Publishers
  • The Christian who drinks cannot win his drinking companions to Christ. The girl who dances will never win her dancing boyfriend! You may think to gain favor and influence with the unsaved by joining with them in the lodge, or attending with them the movies, or by smoking or drinking or playing bridge with them, but you cannot! Worldliness means powerlessness! And that means that every Christian who sells out is guilty of the murder of the poor lost souls that go to Hell because he lost his influence.

  • It is far best for the Christian never to see some things, so he will never want them. The old-fashioned Christian who will not have playing cards in his house will never learn to gamble with them. One who never sees, in movies and night clubs or elsewhere, half-clothed girls, drinking, smoking, gambling, petting, making love to many men, is likely to miss being led into that kind of life by these sirens of sin. It is the Devil's game to make people think it necessary for people to "know the ways of the world.

    John R. Rice (2000). “The Ruin of a Christian”, p.100, Sword of the Lord Publishers
  • You can never truly enjoy Christmas until you can look up into the Father's face and tell him you have received his Christmas gift.

  • What a compelling motive we have for prayer, for preaching, for soul winning when we learn that every responsible human being who leaves this world without a definite change in heart immediately lifts his eyes in Hell, tormented in flame!

  • And then the dear Lord will take us to the new earth, surrounded by the new Heaven, and the holy New Jerusalem will come down from God out of Heaven. Then we will have an end of pain and sorrow and crying and death. All these, thank God, will be forever done! And then God Himself will wipe away our tears.

    John R. Rice (1941). “Tears in Heaven”, p.24, Sword of the Lord Publishers
  • After one is right with God and pleases God, the next most important thing in all the world is to be right with one's own father and mother.

    John R. Rice (1980). “The Home: Courtship, Marriage, and Children”, p.226, Sword of the Lord Publishers
  • The best soulwinners are those who go when it is convenient and then go when it is not convenient.

    John R. Rice (1944). “Soul Winning”, p.20, Sword of the Lord Publishers
  • I tell you, Heaven is a real, literal, physical place, a city as material, as physical, as literal as Chicago or London or New York or Tokyo.

    New York   Real   Cities  
  • To keep the faith, run with the right crowd.

  • Salvation is a free gift.

    John R. Rice (1980). “Bible Facts about Heaven”, p.57, Sword of the Lord Publishers
  • God's people should be baptized because God commanded it, not because some church requires it.

    John R. Rice (2000). “Bible Baptism”, p.3, Sword of the Lord Publishers
  • If you were enough like God, some one wouldn't like you.

    Like You   Enough   Ifs  
  • People go wrong in their fellowships before they go wrong in their doctrine.

  • This world loses its appeal when the steps become tottering, when the hearing becomes dim, when the faded eyes cannot see as they once did. When loved ones are nearly all gone on ahead, then all the riches or fame or pleasures of this world are baubles and trash.

    Eye   Gone   World  
  • I want no Christmas without a burden for lost souls, a message for sinners, a heart to bring in the lost sheep so dear to the Shepherd, the sinning souls for whom Christ died.

    Heart   Sheep   Soul  
  • What kind of Christian are you? Did you ever lose a job, or lose a night's sleep, or lose a friend for God? If your Christianity never costs you a dollar, never cost you a friend, never cost any tears or broken heart, then can you really say that you love the Lord very much? To be a really good Christian is going to cost you.

    Christian   Jobs   Heart  
  • Do you think that your sin is hidden away? Do you think that men will never know it? Well, you should remember that God knows it already. And you should remember, second, that sin continued in will inevitably come to light. Usually it will be exposed in this life. Certainly it will be exposed when you stand before God and God's record books are opened. That which is whispered in a corner shall be shouted from a housetop. God will bring every secret thing to judgment, we are told. What warning to our hearts!

    Book   Heart   Men  
  • Prayer is asking; the answer to prayer is receiving.

  • Dear lost sinner, if you are a wicked sinner, yet you do not have to die and go to Hell forever. If you are a criminal or a harlot, a blasphemer, a drunkard, a convict, or a dope fiend, God does not want you to go to Hell. People do not go to Hell simply because they are sinners. Rather they go because they will not repent of their sins! If you today will confess your sins to God, and in your poor, helpless heart, will, as far as you know how, turn away from your sin, God will have mercy and will forgive and save.

    John R. Rice (2000). “The Ruin of a Christian”, p.109, Sword of the Lord Publishers
  • A Christian might drink only ginger ale at the tavern bar, but there he is already on the way to drinking beer and whiskey. The girl who attends a ball but never dances a step, will soon surrender her body to the lustful embrace of every casual male acquaintance as other dancers do.

    John R. Rice (2000). “The Ruin of a Christian”, p.100, Sword of the Lord Publishers
  • He that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.

    Evil   Deeds   Speed  
    John R. Rice (2000). “The Ruin of a Christian”, p.216, Sword of the Lord Publishers
  • When boiled down to its essence, unforgiveness is hatred.

    John R. Rice (1980). “Prayer: Asking and Receiving”, p.299, Sword of the Lord Publishers
  • Present-Day Wickedness, Apostasy and Modern Civilization Cannot Prevent Revival.

    John R. Rice (2000). “We Can Have Revival Now: Soul Winner's Fire”, p.137, Sword of the Lord Publishers
  • Sex appeal alone is the poorest basis in the world for a happy marriage.

    John R. Rice (1980). “The Home: Courtship, Marriage, and Children”, p.43, Sword of the Lord Publishers
