If we do not abide in prayer, we will abide in temptation. Let this be one aspect of our daily intercession: "God, preserve my soul, and keep my heart and all its ways so that I will not be entangled." When this is true in our lives, a passing temptation will not overcome us. We will remain free while others lie in bondage.

A true saving knowledge of sin is to be had only in the Lord Christ: in him may we see the desert of our iniquities.

Without absolutes revealed from without by God Himself, we are left rudderless in a sea of conflicting ideas about manners, justice and right and wrong, issuing from a multitude of self-opinionated thinkers.

It is evident that you contend against sin merely because of how it troubles you.

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

The more I see of the glory of Christ, the more the painted beauties of this world will wither in my eyes.

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.
