The Spirit and the Word must be combined. If I look to the Spirit alone without the Word, I lay myself open to great delusions also. If the Holy Ghost guides us at all, He will do it according to the Scriptures and never contrary to them.

The Lord Jesus, everything. In himself worse than nothing. By grace, in Christ, the son of the King.

A servant of God has but one Master. It ill becomes the servant to seek to be rich, and great, and honored in that world where his Lord was poor, and mean, and despised.

The vigor of our spiritual life will be in exact proportion to the place held by the Bible in our life and thoughts.

The word of God is our only standard, and the Holy Spirit our only teacher.

The first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day is to have my soul happy in the Lord.

Now what is food for the inner man? Not prayer, but the Word of God; and here again, not the simple reading of the Word of God, so that it only passes through our minds, just as water passes through a pipe, but considering what we read, pondering it over and applying it to our hearts.
