A man may study because his brain is hungry for knowledge, even Bible knowledge. But he prays because his soul is hungry for God.

Understanding the Bible – Oswald Chambers
There are tremendous thoughts expressed in God’s Book, and unless we have learned to rely on the Holy Spirit we shall say, “Oh, I shall never understand that.” But the Holy Spirit understands it, and as we recognize that and rely on Him, He will work it out, whether we consciously understand or not.

The Word of God I think of as a straight edge, which shows our own crookedness. We can’t really tell how crooked our thinking is until we line it up with the straight edge of Scripture.

The Bible is Sure! – Hudson Taylor
If the Bible were not true the sooner we found it out and threw it aside the better … but if it is true, the sooner we live up to it and act up to it the better. If any of you were offered a bank of England note, whether for five pounds or five thousand pounds, you would never doubt the value of it, you would take the words printed on it as sure. And are not the words printed in this book [the Bible] as sure?

Union and Dependence Upon the Spirit – William Law
Read whatever chapter of scripture you will, and be ever so delighted with it – yet it will leave you as poor, as empty and unchanged as it found you unless it has turned you wholly and solely to the Spirit of God, and brought you into full union with and dependence upon him.
– William Law –
The Bible is Infallible – Leonard Ravenhill
The Bible definitely is infallible, how else could it survive so many years of bad preaching?
