BIBLE -WARNINGS IN

Idle words are in the speech of man, not in the writings of Jehovah. BA143 A precept of Scripture is like a lighthouse upon a quicksand or a rock; it quietly bids the wise helmsman steer his vessel another way. The whole coast of life is guarded by these protecting lights, and he who will take note of them may make safe navigation; but remember, it is one thing for the Scripture to give warning, and another for us to take it; and if we do not take warning, we cannot say, “By them is Thy servant warned.” BA230 The saddest story of Holy Scripture is a beacon, and never a lure. 2084.257
