True worship leads to a more full knowledge of self, God, heaven, duty, doctrine, practice and experience.

Doctrine is useless if it is not accompanied by a holy life. It is worse than useless; it does positive harm. Something of ‘the image of Christ’ must be seen and observed by others in our private life, and habits, and character, and doings.

We should no more tolerate false doctrine that we would tolerate sin.

No proof of the fulness of sin, after all, is so overwhelming and unanswerable as the cross and passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the whole doctrine of His substitution and atonement. Terribly black must that guilt be for which nothing but the blood of the Son of God could make satisfaction.

What is the best safeguard against false doctrine? The Bible regularly read, regularly prayed over, regularly studied.

It is the fable of Jesus Christ, as told in the New Testament, and the wild and visionary doctrine raised thereon, against which I contend. The story, taking it as it is told, is blasphemously obscene.

The older I grow, the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom.

The demagogue is one who preaches doctrines he knows to be untrue to men he knows to be idiots.

The doctrine of the Kingdom of Heaven, which was the main teaching of Jesus, is certainly one of the most revolutionary doctrines that ever stirred and changed human thought.

No outward shrines may we seek, nor doctrines strange may we need, for the temple of faith is the soul within, and the creed of right is the life we lead.

It is impossible to govern the world without God. It is the duty of all nations to acknowledge the Providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits and humbly implore his protection and favor.

Descartes, the father of modern philosophy … would never—so he assures us—have been led to construct his philosophy if he had had only one teacher, for then he would have believed what he had been told; but, finding that his professors disagreed with each other, he was forced to conclude that no existing doctrine was certain.
