The 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 FlavelLook to it, my dear friends, that none of you be found Christless at your appearance before him. Those that continue Christless now, will be left speechless then. God forbid that you that have heard so much of Christ, and you that have professed so much of Christ, should at last fall into a worse condition than those that never heard the name of Christ.
John FlavelBrethren, it is easier to declaim against a thousand sins of others, than to mortify one sin in ourselves.
John FlavelNo doctrine is more excellent, or necessary to be preached and studied, than Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
