The Mixture of Truth and Error Dangerous
Galatians 1:6-7
I marvel that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ to another gospel:…


A friend of mine some time ago bought some coals; and as is natural to coals, having to deal with the earth, being earthy, there were some slates in them, and sitting in the drawing-room, the slates now and then exploded, somewhat to damage a person's eyes. Therefore he said to the coal merchant, "My dear sir, the next lot of coals you sell me, would you mind selling me coals? I know, of course, that some bits of slate will get among them, and I am willing to take a fair proportion; but I should like to have the coals by themselves and the slates by themselves." That is precisely what I would have done with Holy Scripture. We will have so many books inspired — the coals — and so much marked off as being slates. It is a serious thing if you get a bit of slate into your common teaching, and your faith and daily life; you do not know what damage may be done by it.

(C. H. Spurgeon.)
