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.

Let us read our Bibles reverently and diligently, with an honest determination to believe and practice all we find in them.

If you and sin are friends, you and God are not yet reconciled.

We are all so sunk in sin, and so wedded to the world, that we would never turn to God and seek salvation, unless He first called us by His grace. Without a divine call, no one can be saved.

Examine your own hearts. Do you see there any habit or custom which you know is wrong in the sight of God? If you do, don't delay for a moment in attacking it. Resolve at once to lay it aside. Nothing darkens the eyes of the mind so much, and deadens the conscience so surely, as an allowed sin. It may be a little one, but it is not any less dangerous.

Growth in grace is one way to be happy in our religion. God has wisely linked together our comfort and our increase in holiness.

The person that goes regularly and intelligently to the Lord's Table finds it increasingly hard to yield to sin and conform to the world.
