Notes and Quotes: Biblical Topics

By T.H. Wilson Sr.

This book is written as a reminder of how important it is to study the Word of God. It will hopefully prove to be informative, challenging, and encouraging. The ten Bible topics have been of interest to Bible students and others that just like to read a variety of materials.

It was truly a challenge to try and present the information in a convincing fashion that you can critique with the King James Version of the Holy Bible on hand. This is also an opportunity for me to present 308 more of my personal quotes. The other two books of personal quotes are 1,001 Bits of Wit by Thomas Wilson. It has 1,001 of my personal quotes in it. The second book is entitled Personal Quotes by T. H. Wilson Sr. It has 1,016 of my personal quotes in it. You can order both books on Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble or Google Play or iTunes.

Chapter 1

God’s Power Is Unlimited

He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.

—Psalm 147:4–5

This passage of Scripture is one of many in the plethora of gems that mention the omnipotence of God. Our finite minds cannot grasp the awesome might of our Heavenly Father. It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in (Isaiah 40:22).

God alone can stretch the earth above the waters; command the movements of the sun, moon, and stars; and behold the light and the darkness as identical twins in His sight. He can deliver His people from maniacal monarchs and pave a path for them through the thickest wilderness (Psalm 136:6–19).

Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. (Psalm 139:12)

There will be days when you just feel tired, wired, and uninspired. Your days are sometimes going to be revolving doors of despair. Your nights will spring forth as pale repetitions of doom and gloom. You yearn for the difficult days of the past to replace the unbearable moments of the present. Your hold on the horns of the bull of life is slipping. Then you recall that your hope is in Christ Jesus. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? (Romans 8:24).

With each breath, you begin to inhale new hope as you reflect on the day you were baptized into Christ. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ (Galatians 3:27). You are encouraged although the hard knocks of life’s testing ground continue to batter your fragility. Where are all those friends who surrounded you during the good times? You sigh and vividly recall what the Lord’s disciples did when enemy arrested Him in the Garden of Gethsemane, and they all forsook Him, and fled (Mark 14:50).

When your life reflects a megalopolis of mess-ups, when family and friends write you off, and when you can longer assemble at the country club and tick with the clique, remember that nothing is too hard for the Lord (Genesis 18:14, Jeremiah 32:27). Our God can bring down the high tree, exalt the low tree, dry up the green tree, and make the dry tree to flourish (Ezekiel 17:24). He can send a tailwind to your sails when you are drifting as a ghostship on the abandoned waves of
