Brethren, it is easier to declaim against a thousand sins of others, than to mortify one sin in ourselves.

Whatever be the ground of one's distress, it should drive him to, not from God.

Christ comes with kingly power, to rescue sinners, as a prey from the mouth of the terrible one.

Suppose that by revenge you might destroy one enemy; yet, by exercising the Christian's temper you might conquer three‌–‌your own lust, Satan's temptation, and your enemy's heart.

That soul is dead to which the Spirit of Christ is not given in the work of regeneration; and all its works are dead works.

Let us see that our knowledge of Christ be not a powerless, barren, unpractical knowledge: O that, in its passage from our understanding to our lips, it might powerfully melt, sweeten, and ravish our hearts! Remember, brethren, a holy calling never saved any man, without a holy heart; if our tongues only be sanctified, our whole man must be damned. We must be judged by the same gospel, and stand at the same bar, and be sentenced to the same terms, and dealt with as severely as any other men.

Jesus, our head, is already in heaven; and if the head be above water, the body cannot drown.
