Written on a 4x6 note card by Stan Julin.
April, 2002
My tendency is always to estimate a man [or] an author by the estimate which he appears to have of the Bible. Is he for it or against it? Does he love the words of God? Is he jealous of God's words? Does he oppose the wicked who love to pick at it because it exposes them? I look for men like that.
It is easy to walk past a desk and throw a lit match into the documents there; it is a difficult matter to put out the fire. Many matches have been thrown; the words are still there. I love and am jealous of each word, singular or plural, past, present or future tense, for each was chosen by the greatest linguist, commentator, communicator, and deliverer of all time.
