Doctrine, my Brethren, is to be prized above all price! Woe to the Church of God when error shall be thought a trifle,
or Truth is lightly esteemed. When the Truth of God is gone, what is left? But, at the same time, we are grossly mistaken
if we think that orthodoxy or creed will save us. I am sick of those cries of, “the Truth, the Truth, the Truth,” from men of rotten lives and unholy tempers! There is an orthodox as well as a heterodox road to Hell and the devil knows how to handle Calvinists quite as well as Arminians. No Church can insure salvation! No form of doctrine can guarantee to us eternal life. “You must be born again.” You must bring forth fruits meet for repentance. “Every tree which brings not forth fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire.”
Charles Spurgeon
“Nothing But Leaves” (Mk 11:13)
