On Christ’s glory I would fix all my thoughts and desires, and the more I see of the glory of Christ, the more the painted beauties of this world will wither in my eyes and I will be more and more crucified to this world. It will become to me like something dead and putrid, impossible for me to enjoy.

Sin is never less quiet than when it seems to be most quiet.

Only what God has commanded in His word should be regarded as binding; in all else there may be liberty of actions.

A man preacheth that sermon only well unto others which preacheth itself in his own soul. And he that doth not feed on and thrive in the digestion of the food which he provides for others will scarce make it savoury unto them; yea, he knows not but the food he hath provided may be poison, unless he have really tasted of it himself. If the word do not dwell with power in us, it will not pass with power from us.

He that hath slight thoughts of sin, never had great thoughts of God.

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.
