Not to be daily mortifying sin, is to sin against the goodness, kindness, wisdom, grace, and love of God, who hath furnished us with a principle of doing it.

I do not understand how a man can be a true believer, in whom sin is not the greatest burden, sorrow and trouble.

Selfishness is the making a man's self his own centre, the beginning and end of all he doeth.
