Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. I. Permit me to urge upon you THE BRINGING CERTAIN THINGS "TO THE LAW AND TO THE TESTIMONY." 1. The ideas engendered in you by your early training. 2. The preachers of the Gospel. 3. There is another class of men. These men are their own preachers; they believe no one but themselves. 4. Just do the same with all books that you read. II. THE GOOD EFFECTS that you will derive from a careful study of the law and testimony of God. 1. Unless you study the Word of God you will not be competent to detect error. 2. When you are in a matter of dispute you will be able to speak very confidently. 3. Search the Scriptures, because in so doing you win get a rich harvest of blessing to your own soul. III. OTHER REASONS. Many false prophets are gone forth into the world. There is a solemn danger of being absolutely misled. Read your Bibles to know what the Bible says about you. ( C. H. Spurgeon.)
