Though justification costs us nothing but the sacrifice of our pride, it has cost Christ His blood.

The flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh.

When the Bible itself becomes irksome, inquire whether you have not been spoiling your appetite by sweetmeats and renounce them; and believe that the Word is the wire along which the voice of God will certainly come to you if the heart is hushed and the attention fixed.

How many of us, who are engaged in the Lord's holy service, are secretly cherishing some proud purpose of excelling other men, of making a name, of securing money and applause.
