(J. C. Philpot, "The Precepts of the Word of God") Were there no precepts in the New Testament, we would be without an inspired rule of life, without an authoritative guide for our walk and conduct before the Church and the world.

Spurgeon The best books of men are soon exhausted-- they are cisterns, and not springing fountains.

Apart from... Read More
