As for myself, I can truly say that Jesus Christ and Him crucified is the sum of all knowledge to me. He is the highest intellectualism! He is the grandest philosophy to which my mind can attain! He is the pinnacle that rises loftier than my highest aspirations and deeper than this great Truth of God I wish never to fathom! Jesus Christ and Him crucified is the sum total of all I want to know and of all the Doctrines which I profess and preach!
– Charles Spurgeon –
Christ may be called the key-stone of the arch of truth. Take away the key-stone of an arch, and the whole becomes a heap of rubbish. The very same stones may be there, but they are all fallen, smothered, and confused, without order, without end. Just so, take Christ away, and the whole arch of truth becomes a heap of rubbish. The very same truths may be there; but they are all fallen, without coherence, without order, without end. Christ may be called the sun of the of the system of truth. Take away the sun out of our system, and every planet would rush into confusion … Just so, take Christ away, and the whole system of truth rushes into confusion.

He that would be holy must steep himself in the Word, must bask in the sunshine which radiates from each page of revelation … What evil, what enemy within or without is there that can withstand this unconquered and unconquerable Word? Satan’s object at present is to undermine that Word and to disparage its perfection. Let us the more magnify it and the more make constant use of it.
– Horatius Bonar –
Christianity, if false, is of no importance and, if true, is of infinite importance. The one thing it cannot be is moderately important.
– CS Lewis –
Truth is not validated by a multitude of believers, truth stands solely because it exists.

Eternity shall be at once a great eye-opener and a great mouth-shutter. It shall be the Rectifier of all injustice (and how vast is injustice!), the Confirmer of martyrs’ blood, the Explainer of years of labor swallowed up in meaningless ruin on earth. Lord, deliver me from sweet doctrinal nothings.
– Jim Elliot –
Fact is fact. Truth is truth. It does not matter how you feel. We do not listen to our feelings. We believe the truth of God’s Word.
– Eric Ludy –
We are apt to think that we are fighting the cause of truth, when we are really maintaining our own pride.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Truth obeyed leads to more truth. Truth disobeyed destroys the capacity for discovering truth.
