“One line of the Bible is worth more than all the learning of men.”
Hugh Binning

“Though the blood of Christ wash from all, yet the child of God ordinarily is kept from some kind of spots, so that if a man shall be spotted with them it is no marvel he question if he be a child or not. There are two, which I think so gross and unclean spots that I cannot conceive how a soul washen by Jesus Christ can be defiled with them. One is, a course of profanity”
Hugh Binning, The Works of the Rev. Hugh Binning

“Self love and pride were the first poison that the malice of Satan dropped into man’s nature, and this is so strong and pestilent, that it has spread through the whole of mankind, and the whole in every man.”
Hugh Binning, The Works of the Rev. Hugh Binning
