Priceless Gems From 'The Sword Scrapbook'

I just purchased the 'SWORD SCRAPBOOK' volumes I (1969) and II (1975) on eBay by Dr. John R. Rice's loyal lifelong secretary Miss Viola Walden (1915-2007). I snapped some photos today of interesting things in Volume I.

Inspiring Preacher Quotes

“Every word in this Bible is inspired by God almighty!” —Dr. Jack Hyles (1926-2001), "A Friend At Midnight"

“I never thought, I'd see a day when Baptist preachers would not preach the true Gospel. Tonight, all across this nation, Baptist preachers have succumbed to the heresy of John MacArthur. I said the heresy of John MacArthur! I said the heresy of John MacArthur! And somebody that's got several thousand people to hear 'em, who can go across this country, has got to alert Baptists that we have false teachers in our midst who are no longer teaching and preaching salvation by grace through faith plus nothing. Folks, we're fighting for our lives tonight!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, "A Vote For Preaching"

'The world' includes the mass of humanity that is alienated from God and therefore hostile to the cause of Christ. It involves worldly affairs, earthly things, riches, pleasures, and pursuits that are shallow, frail, and fleeting.

Anderson, "The Dechristianization Of Our Nation"

“Be on guard against any tampering with the Word, whether disguised as a search for truth, or a scholarly attempt at apparently hidden meanings; and beware of the confusion created by the senseless rash of new versions, translations, editions, and improvements upon the tried and tested Bible of our fathers and grandfathers.” —Pastor M.R. DeHaan (1891-1965), “The Tabernacle,” p. 101

“And you know what, quit talking this crap about: 'The Devil's shaking in his boots!' Don't ever talk that way.

“When a person is condemned and goes to Hell, you don't go to Hell because of what you did. You don't go because you lied, you cussed, you drank, you smoked, you drugged; you don't go because you're a homosexual lesbian, adulterer; you don't go to Hell because of what you did, you go to Hell because of what you didn't do! You go to Hell because you did not believe on the name of the only begotten Son of God! You go to Hell and you are rejected, and have God's judgment on you, because you refused to realize and embrace Jesus for Who He is!” —Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr., "Have You Been Born Again?"

“You'd be shocked if you knew, how the versions of the Bible that are coming out, which are so unnecessary and not even Bible. You'd be shocked if you knew what they're doing to cause Christian people to feel subconsciously unstable. You'd be shocked if you knew what it's doing to the nervous system of our people! All these Bibles!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, "Don't Chase The Pendulum"

“If you want to never do anything that is terribly wicked, then you never do anything that is slightly wicked.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, "Unjust In The Least"

“They consider me radical, and I am not radical today, and don't you buy into that. And you know, I don't like when people from our church think: 'Oh yeah, our pastor is so extreme! He's so radical.' That is not true! I'm a Bible-believing preacher. There's nothing extreme or radical other than what the Bible is saying being extreme. If you want to call it 'extreme' or 'radical,' than that's what you're saying about the Bible, because there's nothing that I preach that is not in this Book. And if there is, tell me about it and I'll change it. I'll quit preaching it. There's nothing radical about what I preach. Our society has become radically wicked! And so, when a preacher just gets up and preaches a normal sermon, they think: 'Hey, you cross the line Buddy!' No, I didn't cross the line, you removed the landmark. You moved the line. I'm not crossing the line at all, I'm preaching the Bible today.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, "Man Of God"

And you know, obviously yeah, I've been blessed in a lot of ways, but I've also gone through some really hard things that you might not want to go through. So we all have pros and cons to our life. If all our troubles were hung on a line, you'd take yours and I'd take mine, because we're all going through different stuff.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, "Rich Men In James"

“The conversion of Cornelius and his household completely contradicts the notion that faith must be coupled with prayer in order to result in salvation. Acts 10:43, 'To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. 'While Peter yet spake these words...' Don't miss that! 'While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.' Notice, 'WHILE PETER YET SPAKE THESE WORDS, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word.' Why? Because their hearing was mixed with faith. These men were saved while the preacher was still speaking.”—Evangelist Onorato Diamante, "Steven Anderson Is DEAD WRONG About the Sinner’s Prayer"

“To assert that man is not saved until he calls, knowing that believing precedes (or comes before calling) is to assert that man is not saved the moment he believes.” —Evangelist Onorato Diamante, "Steven Anderson Is DEAD WRONG About the Sinner’s Prayer"

“The only reason that we fear anything is because we are people of little faith. When your faith is small, your fear is great; when your faith is great, your fear is small! America has a fear problem; Christians have a faith problem. Why are you fearful?” —Pastor Chuck Baldwin, “A CONTAGION OF FEAR”

“Don't forget that the whole point of the 'main stream media' is to make enough noise that you don't know the truth!” —Pastor Joel C. Fugate

“What we need in this generation, is for about 30,000 churches in the United States to go out of business, and just shut the doors, and let who mean business, get the power of God, and witness to this generation!” —Pastor Danny Castle, “How To Have Power With God”

“When you get dissed by men—the whole reason God allowed you to be dissed—is because He didn't want you to fit in! He don't want you to fit in with the world. He don't want you to fit in with the rest of the group! He don't want you to be just like them! 'Cause there is something special about you! There's an assignment for you. There's a call for you. There's an anointing for your life. God does not want you to fit in!” —Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr., “Being Dissed”

“There is no greater joy in the Christian life than to trust Him and need no explanation.” —Dr. Jack Hyles

Faith is the only righteous thing that I can do!” —Pastor Jack Hyles

“The world's greatest need is preaching preachers. The Gospel is our emancipation proclamation: let's take it to the slaves of sin.” —Brother Lester Roloff

“The law tells me how crooked I am. Grace comes along and straightens me out.“ —Billy Sunday

“When someone does something wrong, make it a point to never forget all the things they did right.” —Pastor Bob Gray Sr.

“I've stood for more sneers and scoffs and insults and had my life threatened from one end of the land to the other by this God-forsaken gang of thugs and cutthroats because I have come out uncompromisingly against them.” —Billy Sunday

“We're saved because we have faith in Jesus. We believe that He died on the cross. We believe He was buried, and stayed there for three days, and we believe He got up out of the grave. ...The law never gives life!” —Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr., “Justified: The Book Of Galatians, Chapter 2”

“Nobody can love God who doesn't love sinners!” —Dr. Jack Hyles, “The Happiest Man”

“Ladies and gentlemen, one of the saddest things in fundamentalism today is the fact that you hardly can find a fundamentalist that literally walks in the Spirit; almost unheard of, almost unheard of.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “What Blocks You From The Spirit Filled Life?”

“I do not think I've ever seen fundamentalists as carnal as I do now.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “What Blocks You From The Spirit Filled Life?”

“I am concerned about the fundamentalism in America that's churchianity. I guarantee you, you'll be just like the new-evangelical crowd in a few years, unless we stop to realize that we're supposed to walk in the Spirit of God almighty!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “What Blocks You From The Spirit Filled Life?”

“I am so sick and tired of Christian people gettin' mad at each other because of the dollar, I don't know what to do. I wonder sometimes if there is anybody left that's spiritual. I really do. I mean, fuss about a dollar. If a guy wants some of your money, let him have the money! I mean, I spend a lot of my time refereeing fights of people in this church, who get mad at each other because of money. Listen, there's not enough of that to fight over.” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “What Blocks You From The Spirit Filled Life?”

“I'm tired of us calling them 'gay.' They're not gay. Gay is a mighty good word to denote happiness and joy. I'm tired of the queers choosing the 'gay' word for themselves. Let's take it back!” —Pastor Jack Hyles, “What Blocks You From The Spirit Filled Life?”
