Quote by Will Thomas

“It seems strange to find a Baptist such as yourself so well acquainted with Jewish customs," I said. "Yes, well, knowledge is a good thing. If the Bible says that the Jews are His chosen people, we ought to take it seriously.”

“The apostle Paul says contentment doesn’t come to us naturally. He gives us the key when he writes, “I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content (Philippians 4:11).” We can conclude from this that contentment is a learned state. Unfortunately, we do have to learn from our experience. We desperately pursue what we think will satisfy us. Finding disappointment, we move from one thing to the next just as soon as we realize the satisfaction is but temporary. Sometimes, it requires we experience the thing we most fear to realize true joy.”

“Unless the religious claims of the Bible are again acknowledged, its literary claims will, I think, be given only “mouth honour” and that decreasingly. . . It is, if you like to put it that way, not merely a sacred book but a book so remorselessly and continuously sacred that it does not invite, it excludes or repels, the merely aesthetic approach. You can read it as literature only by a tour de force. You are cutting the wood against the grain, using the tool for a purpose it was not intended to serve. It demands incessantly to be taken on its own terms: it will not continue to give literary delight very long except to those who go to it for something quite different.”
