Run your eye back over the list of martyrs, lay and clerical; nine-tenths of them stood accused of nothing worse than honest efforts to find out and announce the truth. H. L. Mencken (1880–1956) A prophet is one who knows his times and what God is trying to say to the people of his times. A. W. Tozer (1897–1963) Scholars can interpret the past; it takes prophets to interpret the present. A. W. Tozer (1897–1963) A compass is narrow-minded—it always points to the magnetic north. It seems that is a very narrow view, but a compass is not broad-minded. If it were, all the ships at sea and all the planes in the air would be in danger. We must discipline ourselves, personally, to fight any deviation from the course Jesus set for us. We cannot be tolerant of any other course. To deviate is to sin. Billy Graham (1918– ) Beware of saying, “I haven’t time to read the Bible, or to pray”; say rather, “I haven’t disciplined myself to do these things.” Oswald Chambers (1874–1917)
