Fill your affections with the cross of Christ that there may be no room for sin.

We ought as much to pray for a blessing upon our daily rod as upon our daily bread.

Do you mortify; do you make it your daily work; be always at it whilst you live; cease not a day from this work; be killing sin or it will be killing you.

We are never nearer Christ than when we find ourselves lost in a holy amazement at His unspeakable love.

There is no death of sin without the death of Christ.

By faith ponder on this, that though thou art no way able in or by thyself to get the conquest over thy distemper, though thou art even weary of contending, and art utterly ready to faint, yet that there is enough in Jesus Christ to yield thee relief.

The person who understands the evil in his own heart is the only person who is useful, fruitful, and solid in his beliefs and obedience. Others only delude themselves and thus upset families, churches, and all other relationships. In their self-pride and judgment of others, they show great inconsistency.
