Sin rarely seems sin at first beginnings.

Let us awake to a sense of the perilous state of many professing Christians. 'Without holiness no man shall see the Lord'; without sanctification there is no salvation (Hebrews 12:14). Then what an enormous amount of so-called religion there is which is perfectly useless!

Every fresh act of sin lessens fear and remorse, hardens our hearts, blunts the edge of our conscience, and increases our evil inclination.

The hand of the wicked can't stir one moment before God allows them to begin, and...one moment after God commands them to stop.

Praying and sinning will never live together in the same heart. Prayer will consume sin, or sin will choke prayer.

He that would be conformed to Christ's image, and become a Christ-like man, must be constantly studying Christ Himself.

I declare I know no state of soul more dangerous than to imagine we are born again and sanctified by the Holy Ghost, because we have picked up a few religious feelings.
