We go on, from week to week, year to year, with things which have no foundation whatever in its pages- yea, with things utterly opposed to its teaching; and, all the while, we boast of having the Scriptures, just like the Jews of old, who made their boast of having the oracles of God, while those very oracles condemned themselves and their ways, and left them without a single plea. Charles Henry Mackintosh teachingchristianhands There is no form of conviction more intimate and irresistible than that which arises from the inward teaching of the Spirit.
