  • R. Alan Woods [2013] Quote #1

    Ah, a breath of fresh air: reasonable faith!!!


  • R. Alan Woods [2013] Quote #2

    Being that 'reason is not antithetical to faith' (Woods) and that Pentecost established the Reality of super-nature (Lewis) and that 'theology matters' (Wimber), then 'empowered evangelicalism' (Nathan) is the natural expression of discipleship.

  • R. Alan Woods [2013] Quote #3

    Being that the *historical* Jesus was of pure Hebraic descent- lineage of Eber- He was not an Arab or of Arabic descent, therefore He was not dark skinned as most Israeli's are not.

    Faith without reason produces a mindless Christianity which is less than useless; the focus on justice in this world produces a theology that chases its own tail.

    Friendship evangelism' is the freedom to Agape others without an agenda (Young).

    Help us to forgive ourselves as we struggle in our process of forgiving others.

  • R. Alan Woods [2013] Quote #14

    I am a 'Light' seeker with a 'tude'!.

  • R. Alan Woods [2013] Quote #15

    I am in complete alignment with my thinking with this statement by F. F. Bruce: 'Whether our approach is theological or historical, it does matter whether the New Testament documents are reliable or not'.


  • R. Alan Woods [2013] Quote #16

    In my qualified opinion as a Biblical scholar, there is 'massive' and overwhelming historical evidence that the New Testament manuscripts are in fact reliable.


  • R. Alan Woods [2013] Quote #17

    In the 56 years I have been a disciple of and in union with Jesus Christ and in my opinion, John Wimber was the most authentic, humble, accessible, and anointed 'Christ-like' man I have ever known.

  • R. Alan Woods [2013] Quote #18

    It is not enough just to read the Bible; it is even just as important to understand it. As to living it- that is accomplished in and through us by the Holy Spirit.


  • R. Alan Woods [2013] Quote #19

    Logos (The Biblical Manuscripts/Canon of Scriptures) & Rhema (The Person/Life/Words/Death/Resurrection of Jesus Christ): The 'special' & 'ultimate' revelation of God. Without these revelations God would be unsearchable, unknowable, and inscrutable.

  • R. Alan Woods [2013] Quote #20

    My life is an open book; at least this photo album.

  • R. Alan Woods [2013] Quote #21

    My metaphysical thinking is more in alignment with Plato rather than Aristotle's.


  • R. Alan Woods [2013] Quote #22

    People respond when they are taught, and that primarily by example, rather than preached at. Jesus modeled just this approach in His life.

  • R. Alan Woods [2013] Quote #23

    Show me a man who has no interest in his own good, and I'll show you a man who is not in touch with his own humanity.

  • R. Alan Woods [2013] Quote #24

    The Fathers intent desire is that none would 'perish'. The promise God has given us is one of 'liberation'- Freedom. Being set free from captivity and reconciled to your Father. Intimacy with Jesus garners son-ship with Abba. As Jesus demonstrated that Son-ship of Grace he said, 'I only say and do what I hear the Father saying and doing'. Proclaiming the Kingdom of God by Do'in the Stuff. The early church 'got' Jesus. John Wimber 're-got' Jesus and began proclaiming the Kingdom and demonstrating it as any loving son would of his Father. Now, we are no longer refuges but 'Bona Fide' citizens in good standing with our King and our new country. Where Love, Mercy, Grace; Peace 'rains' on us eternally here and now. 'The Already But Not Yet' (Ruis).

  • R. Alan Woods [2013] Quote #25

    The Reality of the Creator God of Christianity blatantly reveals itself in His majestic handy-work.

  • R. Alan Woods [2013] Quote #26

    The synoptic Gospels of the New Testament manuscripts make us aware of Christ's character and gives us a view of the 'son-ship' He modeled which flowed out of that Divine character.


  • R. Alan Woods [2013] Quote #27

    There are no shortcuts to maturity in discipleship; it was, is, and always will be learned over time and under pressure walking in union with Christ.

  • R. Alan Woods [2013] Quote #28

    Trust is developed under pressure and over time; just as with God by us.


  • R. Alan Woods [2013] Quote #29

    We are no longer under the 'Law', but rather the Grace of God in Christ.

  • R. Alan Woods [2013] Quote #30

    When we give our heartbreak to God, he fashions it into a softer and even more loving heart.
