Of the seven days God gave to us in a week, He said to take six, and use them for our business. Yet we think that we must have the seventh as well. It is like someone who, while traveling, comes upon a poor man in distress. Having but seven shillings, the generous person gives the poor man six, but when the wretch scrambles to his feet, he follows his benefactor to knock him down and steal the seventh shilling from him.

Saving faith is an immediate relation to Christ, accepting, receiving, resting upon Him alone, for justification, sanctification, and eternal life by virtue of God's grace.

We are all men, feeble, frail, and apt to faint.

A world where everything was easy would be a nursery for babies, but not at all a fit place for men.

We fear not God because of any compulsion; our faith is no fetter, our profession is no bondage, we are not dragged to holiness, nor driven to duty. No, our piety is our pleasure, our hope is our happiness, our duty is our delight.

That which,like a sea, threatens to drown you- shall be a highway for your escape

Let each one of us, if we have done nothing for Christ, begin to do something now. The distribution of tracts is the first thing.
