Growing in grace is a deepening realization of our nothingness; it is a heartfelt recognition that we are not worthy of the least of God's mercies.

Happy the soul that has been awed by a view of God's majesty

An ineffably holy God, who has the utmost abhorrence of sin, was never invented by any of Adam's descendents.

Prayer is not so much an act as it is an attitude - an attitude of dependency, dependency upon God.

God cannot change for the better, for He is already perfect; and being perfect, He cannot change for the worse.

How does God save His people from the pleasure of sin? The answer is, “By imparting to them a nature which hates evil and loves holiness.” This takes place when they are born again, so that actual salvation begins with regeneration. Of course it does; where else could it commence? Fallen man can neither perceive his desperate need of salvation, nor come to Christ for it, till he has been renewed by the Holy Spirit.

Whatever I cannot do for God's glory must be avoided.
