A partial obedience is a disobedience and a partial truth is a lie.

Serious Meditating Upon Heavenly Truths – Thomas Brooks
Remember, it is not hasty reading but serious meditating upon holy and heavenly truths that make them prove sweet and profitable to the soul. It is not he who reads most but he who meditates most who will prove choicest, sweetest, wisest, and strongest Christian.
– Thomas Brooks –
New Truth is Not True – Charles Spurgeon
I cannot agree with those who say that they have “new truth” to teach. The two words seem to me to contradict each other; that which is new is not true. It is the old that is true, for truth is as old as God Himself.

Serious Meditation on Holy Truths – Thomas Brooks
Remember that it is not hasty reading—but serious meditation on holy and heavenly truths, which makes them prove sweet and profitable to the soul. It is not the mere touching of the flower by the bee which gathers honey—but her abiding for a time on the flower which draws out the sweet. It is not he who reads most, but he who meditates most—who will prove to be the choicest, sweetest, wisest and strongest Christian.

Speak the Truth You Have – JC Ryle
We have the truth and we need not be afraid to say so.

Where Truth is Sweetest – Charles Spurgeon
Truth is sweetest where it breaks from the smitten Rock, for at its first gush it has lost none of its heavenliness and vitality. It is always best to drink at the well and not from the tank. You shall find that reading the Word of God for yourselves, reading it rather than notes upon it, is the surest way of growing in grace. Drink of the unadulterated milk of the Word of God, and not of the skim milk, or the milk and water of man’s word.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Truth in the Inward Parts – Thomas Watson
Wherein does the beauty of the diamond lie, but in this, that it is a true diamond? If it is a counterfeit, it is worth nothing. So wherein does the beauty of a Christian lie, but in this, that he has the truth in the inward parts (Psalms 51:6)?
