We must not be concerned only with that which troubles us, but with all that troubles God.

It is often those who are despised and trampled on that bear up the weight of a whole nation.

The Scripture abounds in commands and cautions for our utmost diligence in our search and inquiry as to whether we are made partakers of Christ or not, or whether His Spirit dwells in us or not-which argue both the difficulty of attaining an assured confidence herein, as also the danger of our being mistaken, and yet the certainty of a good issue upon the diligent and regular use of means to that purpose.

When sin lets us alone we may let sin alone.

Herein would I live; herein would I die; hereon would I dwell in my thoughts and affections; to the withering and consumption of all the painted beauties of this world, unto the crucifying all things here below, until they become unto me a dead and deformed thing, no way meet for affectionate embraces.

There is no death of sin without the death of Christ.

Meditate on the Word in the Word.
