When sin lets us alone we may let sin alone.

The first and principal duty of a pastor is to feed the flock by diligent preaching of the word

All other ways of mortification are vain, all helps leave us helpless; it must be done by the Spirit.

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

Longing, breathing, and panting after deliverance is a grace in itself, that has a mighty power to conform the soul into the likeness of the thing longed after...unless you long for deliverance you shall not have it.

For to pretend that men may live habitually sinful lives without any attempt by the Spirit to mortify sin in them, nor with any desire for repentance, is to deny the Christian religion.

Let no man pretend to fear sin that does not fear temptation also! These two are too closely united to be separated. He does not truly hate the fruit who delights in the root.
