We ought as much to pray for a blessing upon our daily rod as upon our daily bread.

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.

In or towards whomsoever the Holy Spirit puts forth His power, or acts his grace for their regeneration, he removes all obstacles, overcomes all oppositions, and infallibly produces the intended effect.

It is truth alone that capacitates any soul to glorify God.

Never was sin seen to be more abominably sinful and full of provocation than when the burden of it was upon the shoulders of the Son of God...Would you, then, see the true demerit of sin?-take the measure of it from the mediation of Christ, especially his cross.

Sin will be always acting, if we be not always mortifying, we are lost creatures.

He who finds not opposition from sin, and who sets not himself in every particular to its mortification, is at peace with it, not dying to it.
