“When Calvin protested against allegorizing, he was protesting not against finding a spiritual meaning in a passage, but against finding one that was not there."

...any Bible teachers, small or great, who decide to “mingle their own inventions with the Word of God, or who advance anything that does not belong to it, must be rejected, how honourable soever may be their rank.”

"Don't imagine I've been selected to go to Perelandra because I'm anyone in particular. One can never see, or not till long afterwards, why any one was selected for any job. And when one does, it is usually some reason that leaves no room for vanity. Certainly, it is never for what the man himself would have regarded as his chief qualifications."

“My fear was now of another kind. I felt sure that the creature was what we call “good,” but I wasn’t sure whether I liked “goodness” so much as I had supposed. This is a very terrible experience. As long as what you are afraid of is something evil, you may still hope that the good may come to your rescue. But suppose you struggle through to the good and find that is also dreadful?”

If you fail to teach your children to guard their minds, the devil will gladly teach them to have an "open mind."

For whatever be the knowledge which we are able to obtain of God, either by perception or reflection, we must of necessity believe that He is by many degrees far better than what we perceive Him to be.

Here is the truly Christian life, here is faith really working by love, when a man applies himself with joy and love to the works of that freest servitude in which he serves others voluntarily and for nought, himself abundantly satisfied in the fulness and riches of his own faith.

"The time is short, the fashion of this world passeth away. He that has trained his children for heaven, rather than for earth, for God rather than for man, he is the parent that will be called wise at the last." Quoted from J.C. Ryle

...to an unbelieving person nothing renders service or work for good. He himself is in servitude to all things, and all things turn out for evil to him, because he uses all things in an impious way for his own advantage, and not for the glory of God.

A Christian man is the most free lord of all, and subject to none; a Christian man is the most dutiful servant of all, and subject to every one.

The ears of our generation have been made so delicate by the senseless multitude of flatterers that, as soon as we perceive that anything of ours is not approved of, we cry out that we are being bitterly assailed; and when we can repel the truth by no other pretense, we escape by attributing bitterness, impatience, intemperance, to our adversaries.

...rather than God see the children of men to perish eternally, He would send His Son to take our nature upon Him and thus suffer such dreadful things. Herein God shows His love. It is not the love of God so much in giving you a good voyage and prospering you outwardly in the world, but "God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son."

Though he did preach during his younger years in England, in later years his full attention was set upon translating the Bible into the English language. Instead of proclaiming the Scripture, he gave the actual words of the Bible to Englishmen in their native tongue. If the people could read and understand the Word, he believed, God would kindle in their hearts a zeal for the truth.

With commanding language and syntax, he refuses to use complex words and avoids the stiffness of technical terms. The genius of Tyndale lay in his ability to state profound truth in lucid ways. Daniell comments, “The aim is not to dazzle with verbal arabesque and flourishes, but to be clear to the humblest hearer.”

William Warham, the archbishop of Canterbury, conspired to purchase the remaining copies of the Bible in order to destroy them. At first, this diabolical plot seemed brilliant. But it quickly backfired as the money from the sales provided the needed resources for Tyndale to then produce a revised second edition of his work.

More quotes from the last chapter in A.W. Pink's book on the Ten Commandments! https://aaronjwill.wordpress.com/2015...

The word is not received in faith when it merely flutters in the brain, but when it has taken deep root in the heart, and become an invincible bulwark to withstand and repel all the assaults of temptation.

If all the universe and everything in it exist by the design of an infinite, personal God, to make his manifold glory known and loved, then to treat any subject without reference to God’s glory is not scholarship but insurrection.
