The Kind of Teaching That Lasts...

John Piper, in A Godward Life, p. 17:

Teaching that lasts - and books that last - will be the kind that "bleed Bible." C. H. Spurgeon said of John Bunyan, "Prick him anywhere; and you will find that his blood is Bibline, the very essence of the Bible flows from him. He cannot speak without quoting a text, for his soul is full of the Word of God." God wills that there be human teachers of his divine Word, but he wills that teachers be "full of the Word of God." The Bible should "flow from them." Their blood - and their books - should be "Bibline."
