Whatever vices and corruptions men see in the lives of their ministers will not be attributed to the depravity of their old nature which still abides in them, but to the gospel.

When we realize a constant enemy of the soul abides within us, what diligence and watchfulness we should have! How woeful is the sloth and negligence then of so many who live blind and asleep to this reality of sin. There is an exceeding efficacy nad power in the indwelling sin of believers, for it constantly inclines itself towards evil. We need to be awake, then, if our hearts would know the ways of God. Our enemy is not only upon us, as it was with Samson, but it is also in us.

He that loves works out good to those that he loves, as he is able. God's power and will are equal; what He wills He works.

The good Lord send out a spirit of mortification to cure our distempers, or we are in a sad condition!

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

Be killing sin or it will be killing you.

Assurance encourateth us in our combat; it delivers us not from it. We may have peace with God when we have done from the assaults of Satan.
