****NOTE: In an effort to bring encouragement to others during these uncertain times I have recorded (albeit lamely!) some Scripture recitation. If you are interested in viewing these they are on the links below or you can go to Beth Yoe at Instagram. I will be changing out these links each Monday (Lord willing!) ****

NO WORD RETRACTED

17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.” Matthew 5:17-18 (NIV)
35 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” Matthew 24:35 (NIV)
17 “It is easier for heaven and earth to disappear than for the least stroke of a pen to drop out of the Law.” Luke 16:17 (NIV)
30 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield for all who take refuge in him. Psalms 18:30 (NIV)
89 Your word, O LORD, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens. Psalms 119:89 (NIV)
6 And the words of the LORD are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace of clay, purified seven times. Psalms 12:6 (NIV)
5 “Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. 6 Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar.” Proverbs 30:5-6 (NIV)
8 “The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.” Isaiah 40:8 (NIV)
10 As the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it bud and flourish, so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, 11 so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it. Isaiah 55:10-11 (NIV)
16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NIV)
20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation. 21 For prophecy never had its origin in the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1:20-21 (NIV)

“Our claim is that God has revealed Himself by speaking; that this divine (or God-breathed) speech has been written down and preserved in Scripture; and that Scripture is, in fact, God’s Word written, which therefore is true and reliable and has divine authority over men.” John Stott
“There is only one real inevitability: it is necessary that the Scripture be fulfilled.” Carl F. H. Henry
“Scripture is like a lion. Who ever heard of defending a lion? Just turn it loose; it will defend itself.” Charles H. Spurgeon
“Nobody ever outgrows Scripture; the book widens and deepens with our years.” Charles H. Spurgeon
“Do we really believe in the power of prayer? That God will revive a country, a state, a city, a soul – in direct response to our petitions? Why are we reticent to act on the behalf of ourselves and others? All the promises of Scripture stand at the ready for the bended knee.” BHY
“The gospel isn’t just for salvation. It’s for sanctification, too. Once we move away from the centrality of Scripture, we move away from knowing God as He has revealed Himself to us, and then we’ve lost everything that matters.” Anonymous
“Every sermon, every Bible lesson, every word of testimony, and every verse of Scripture is a warning, calling us to repentance and revival. Our God is a consuming fire, and a day of judgment is coming. We must not neglect the warning, and today’s church must not forget that our message includes the ministry of warning.” Robert J. Morgan
“Make knowledge of the Scripture your love and you will not love the views of the flesh.” Jerome
“Like water flowing through a fountain or oil through a machine, Scripture should be constantly circulating through our minds.” Robert J. Morgan
“The surest road to wisdom is not speculation, reasoning, or reading human books, but meditation upon the Word of God. The readiest way to be spiritually rich in heavenly knowledge is to dig in this mine of diamonds, to gather pearls from this heavenly sea. When Jesus Himself sought to enrich others, He mined in the quarry of Holy Scripture.” C. H. Spurgeon revised by Alistair Begg
“Jesus told us in His Word that if we know the Truth, the Truth will set us free. Jesus came to set us free from bondage to sin and death and God has given us His eternal Word to teach us the way. We are the losers if we neglect such a high calling.” BHY
“The Bible doesn’t change; it changes us. If we disagree with something we read in Scripture, it’s not the Bible that needs to change—it’s us. We must reexamine our opinions and change them in the light of God’s unchanging Word. God’s message to us hasn’t changed since the beginning of time. It remains the same: Do not tamper with the Truth of God. Christ taught His disciples the importance of knowing, speaking, and defending the Truth because Jesus Himself is Truth incarnate.” Michael Youssef
“The person who merely skims the Book of God will not profit from it; we must dig and mine until we obtain the treasure. The door of the Word only opens to the key of diligence. The Scriptures demand to be searched. They are the writings of God, bearing the divine stamp and imprimatur—who shall dare to treat them casually? To despise them is to despise the God who wrote them. It is full of surprises. Under the teaching of the Holy Spirit, to the searching eye, it glows with splendor of revelation, like a vast temple paved with gold and roofed with rubies, emeralds, and all manner of gems. There is no merchandise like the merchandise of scriptural truth. Finally, the Scriptures reveal Jesus: ‘They that bear witness about me.’ No more powerful motive can be urged upon Bible readers than this: He who finds Jesus finds life, heaven, and all things. Happy are they who, in searching the Bible, discover their Savior.” C. H. Spurgeon revised by Alistair Begg
“Though we come across truth and insight continuously throughout life, the Scriptures, as stated, are the Supreme Court in our quest for truth and present the final word.” Jon Thompson
“What would it look like for Christians, en masse, to start loving and following the whole Jesus and the whole Scripture, the whole time, into the whole world?” Scott Sauls
