The Bible is like a vein of pure gold, without any impurities or earthly substances mixed in. It’s a star without a speck; a sun without a blot; a light without darkness; a moon without its pale hue; a glory without any dimness. Oh Bible! No other book can be called perfect and pure; but of you, we can

say that all wisdom is gathered within you, without a trace of foolishness. This is the judge that settles every argument when human wit and reason fail. This is the book untouched by any error; it is pure, untainted, perfect truth.

The church is God’s place of rest, where He provides bread and wine to refresh the weary, and welcomes travelers who might have been lost in the storm. The church is God’s hospital, where He cares for the sick until they renew their strength like eagles.

It’s God’s great lighthouse, with its beacon shining forth to guide lost souls to the haven of peace. But remember, it must be God’s church, not man’s.
