About this Quote

John Nelson Darby's quote is a pointer to those who are attempting to bring back the church to be well-versed in the word of God and to prevent taking any action that might be viewed as extremely simple.

He is highlighting the significance of being well-informed and making the effort to consider all elements of the scenario before making any decisions.
