Be killing sin or it will be killing you.

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.

If we would talk less and pray more about them, things would be better than they are in the world: at least, we should be better enabled to bear them.

Labour to grow better under all your afflictions, lest your afflictions grow worse, lest God mingle them with more darkness, bitterness and terror.

The custom of sinning takes away the sense of it, the course of the world takes away the shame of it.

We admit no faith to be justifying, which is not itself and in its own nature a spiritually vital principle of obedience and good works.

All spiritual acts well-pleasing unto God, as faith, repentance, obedience, are supernatural; flesh and blood revealeth not these things.
