“What we need as Christians is to be able to feed ourselves. How many there are who sit helpless and listless, with open mouths, hungry for spiritual things, and the minister has to try to feed them, while the Bible is a feast prepared, into which they never venture.”

“I never saw a fruit-bearing Christian who was not a student of the Bible.”

“Someone has said that there are four things necessary in studying the Bible: Admit, submit, commit and transmit.”

“This is the test as to your being a true child of God - whether you love and feed upon the Word of God.”

“I thank God there is a height in that Book [Bible] I do not know anything about, a depth I have never been able to fathom, and it makes the Book all the more fascinating.”

“Others read the Bible to make it fit in and prove their favorite creed or notions; and if it does not do so, they will not read it. It has been well said that we must not read the Bible by the blue light of Presbyterianism; nor by the red light of Methodism; nor by the violet light of Episcopalianism; but by the light of the Spirit of God.”

“The object of the Bible is not to tell how good men are, but how bad men can become good.”
