The good Lord send out a spirit of mortification to cure our distempers, or we are in a sad condition!

Christ did not die for any upon condition, if they do believe; but He died for all God's elect, that they should believe.

Nothing shall be lost that is done for God or in obedience to Him.

He that stands still and suffers his enemies to double blows upon him without resistance, will undoubtedly be conquered in the issue.

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.

There is no true gospel fruit without faith and repentance.

I will not judge a person to be spiritually dead whom I have judged formerly to have had spiritual life, though I see him at present in a swoon (faint)as to all evidences of the spiritual life. And the reason why I will not judge him so is this -- because if you judge a person dead, you neglect him, you leave him; but if you judge him in a swoon,(faint) though never so dangerous, you use all means for the retrieving of his life.
