Quotable

"I may devote myself to the study of the Scriptures in the same way as I would the study of some science or the mastering of a foreign language. By diligent application, persevering effort, and consulting works of reference, I may steadily acquire a comprehensive and accurate acquaintance with the letter of God's Word, and become an able expositor thereof. But I cannot obtain a heart-affecting, a heart-purifying, and a heart-molding knowledge thereof. None but the Spirit of truth can write God's law on my heart, stamp God's image upon my soul, and sanctify me by the Truth." A. W. Pink The Holy Spirit, pg. 100.

More of us would do well to remember and affirm this statement by Pink.
