If you neglect to instruct children in the way of holiness, will the devil neglect to instruct them in the way of wickedness? No; if you will not teach them to pray, he will to curse, swear, and lie; if ground be uncultivated, weeds will spring.
John FlavelThe carnal person fears man, not God. The strong Christian fears God, not man. The weak Christian fears man too much, and God too little.
John FlavelChrist comes with kingly power, to rescue sinners, as a prey from the mouth of the terrible one.
John FlavelWrath to come implies both the futurity and perpetuity of this wrath.... Yea, it is not only certainly future, but when it comes it will be abiding wrath, or wrath still coming. When millions of years and ages are past and gone, this will still be wrath to come. Ever coming as a river ever flowing.
