If the Word does not dwell with power in us, it will not pass with power from us.

We need to attend diligently to the state of our soul, and to deal fervently and effectively with God about it.

The most tremendous judgment of God in this world is the hardening of the hearts of men.

The new goddess contingency could not be erected until the God of heaven was utterly despoiled of his dominion over the sons of men, and in the room thereof a home-bred idol of self-sufficiency set up, and the world persuaded to worship it. But that the building climb no higher, let all men observe how the word of God overthrows this babylonian tower.

God never intended for us to be left to pray on our own. God never changes His purpose, but He often does purpose a change.

It being our duty to mortify... we must be at work. He that is appointed to kill an enemy, if he leave striking before the other ceases living, does but half his work.

Mortification is the soul's vigorous opposition to self, wherein sincerity is most evident.
