That wisdom which cannot teach me that God is love, shall ever pass for folly.

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

It is the Spirit alone that can mortify sin; he is promised to do it, and all other means without him are empty and vain. How shall he, then, mortify sin that has not the Spirit? A man may easier see without eyes, speak without a tongue, than truly mortify one sin without the Spirit.

Do you mortify; do you make it your daily work; be always at it whilst you live; cease not a day from this work; be killing sin or it will be killing you.

When sin lets us alone we may let sin alone.
