Let not that man think he makes any progress in holiness who walks not over the bellies of his lusts. He who doth not kill sin in this way takes no steps toward his journey's end.

If a man teach uprightly and walk crookedly, more will fall down in the night of his life than he built in the day of his doctrine.

We shall not benefit from reading the Old Testament unless we look for and meditate on the glory of Christ in its pages.

We are never nearer Christ than when we find ourselves lost in a holy amazement at His unspeakable love.

Though we are commanded to 'wash ourselves', to 'cleanse ourselves from sins', to 'purge ourselves from all our iniquities', yet to imagine that we can do these things by our own efforts is to trample on the cross and grace of Jesus Christ. Whatever God works in us by his grace, he commands us to do as our duty. God works all in us and by us.

For to pretend that men may live habitually sinful lives without any attempt by the Spirit to mortify sin in them, nor with any desire for repentance, is to deny the Christian religion.

Christ's blood is the great sovereign remedy for sin-sick souls.
