Without a sincere and diligent effort in every area of obedience, there will be no sucessful mortification of any one besetting sin.

We must not be concerned only with that which troubles us, but with all that troubles God.

Christ did not die for any upon condition, if they do believe; but He died for all God's elect, that they should believe.

The love of God is like himself – equal, constant, not capable of augmentation or diminution; our love is like ourselves – unequal, increasing, waning, growing, declining. His, like the sun, always the same in its light, though a cloud may sometimes interpose; ours, as the moon, has its enlargements and straightenings.

Temptation gains power where we see it prevail in others we know and we express neither shock or hatred of them and their ways nor pity and prayer for their deliverance.

No man shall ever behold the glory of Christ by sight hereafter who does not in some measure behold it here by faith.

The root of an unmortified course is the digestion of sin without bitterness in the heart.
