“Lord, whatsoever thou dost to us, take not thy Bible from us; kill our children, burn our houses, destroy our goods, only spare us thy Bible, take not away thy Bible.”
John Rogers’
Puritan preacher
The Scriptures contain:
the mind of God,
the state of man,
the way of salvation,
the doom of lost sinners,
and the happiness of believers.
Christians must depend upon God's Word as their only creed.

The unsaved person wears a yoke of sin (Lam. 1:14);
The religious legalist wears the yoke of bondage
(Gal. 5:1);
but
The Christian who depends on God’s grace wears the liberating yoke of Christ.
Warren W. Wiersbe
“He that doth not believe that there is a God, is more vile then a devil. To deny there is a God, is sort of atheism that is not to be found in hell.”
Thomas Brooks
What a killing thing is sin! It is a pestilent disease! A fire in the bones! While we smother our sin it rages within, and like a gathering wound swells horribly and torments terribly.
Charles Spurgeon
On Psalm 32:3
The scripture is both a breeder and a feeder of grace.
How is the convert born,
but by "the word of truth"? (James 1:18)
How doth he grow,
but by "The sincere milk of the word."?
(1 Peter 2:2)
Thomas Watson
The sin of judgmentalism is one of the most subtle sins because it is often practiced under the guise of being zealous over what is right.
Jerry Bridges-
“Respectable Sins”,
"The highest
of the greatest apostle, and most eminent ministers, is to be the servants of Jesus Christ; not the masters of the churches, but the servants of Christ."
Matthew Henry
