  • Jesus accepted the plenary [i.e., complete, extending to all its parts] inspiration of the Bible; when first approached by the devil to turn stones into bread, our Lord replied that man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God (Matt. 4:4 quoting Deut. 8:3). He did not say, "some words" but "every word." If Scripture is breathed out from God (2 Tim. 3:16), then Scripture must be included in what sustains man, not only parts of Scripture but all of it.

  • Satan must be defeated in the arena he dominates, this world. So Christ was sent into this world to destroy Satan's works.

  • What is said in James 2:14 ff. is like a two-coupon train or bus ticket. One coupon says, "Not good if detached" and the other says, "Not good for passage". Works are not good for passage; but faith detached from works is not saving faith.

  • The Bible is the greatest of all books; to study it the noblest of all pursuits; to understand it, the highest of all goals.

  • The use of our possessions shows us up for what we actually are.

  • One be covetous when he has little, much or anything between, for covetousness comes from the heart, not from the circumstances of life.
