Proverbs My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD,
Nor detest His correction;
For whom the LORD loves He corrects,
Just as a father the son in whom he delights.
The Word For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
“The door that is almost shut is open; he that is almost true is a liar; he that is almost honest is a thief; he that is almost saved is lost; he that is almost reconciled to God is an enemy to God; he that is almost inside the ark gets drowned; and he that is almost a believer in Christ will be damned.”
The Bible “Let us be very careful that we never exalt any minister, or sermon, or book, or tract, or friend above the Word. Cursed be that book, or tract, or human counsel, which creeps in between us and the Bible, and hides the Bible from our eyes!”
