There is not a day but sin foils or is foiled, prevails or is prevailed on; and it will be so whilst we live in this world.

I do not understand how a man can be a true believer, in whom sin is not the greatest burden, sorrow and trouble.

He that is more frequent in his pulpit to his people than he is in his closet for his people, is but a sorry watchman.

Our great Pattern hath showed us what our deportment ought to be in all suggestions and temptations. When the devil showed Him "all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them," to tempt Him withal, He did not stand and look upon them, viewing their glory, and pondering their empire.... but instantly, without stay, He cries, "Get thee hence, Satan." Meet thy temptation in its entrance with thoughts of faith concerning Christ on the cross; this will make it sink before thee. Entertain no parley, no dispute with it, if thou wouldst not enter into it.

Temptation gains power by persistent solicitations that beget thoughts that make evil less serious

We are taught in an especial manner to pray that God would give his Holy Spirit unto us, that through his aid and assistance we may live unto God in that holy obedience which he requires at our hands.

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.
