God's command to "pray without ceasing" is founded on the necessity we have of His grace to preserve the life of God in the soul, which can no more subsist one moment without it, than the body can without air.

Prayer continues in the desire of the heart, though the understanding be employed on outward things.

Singing is as much the language of holy joy as praying is of holy desire.

Bring me a worm that can comprehend a man, and then I will show you a man that can comprehend the Triune God.

Above all sing spiritually. Have an eye to God in every word you sing. Aim at pleasing him more than yourself, or any other creature. In order to do this attend strictly to the sense of what you sing, and see that your heart is not carried away with the sound, but offered to God continually; so shall your singing be such as the Lord will approve here, and reward you when he comes in the clouds of heaven.

The man who never fasts is no more in the way to heaven than the man who never prays.

My ground is the Bible. Yea, I am a Bible-bigot. I follow it in all things, both great and small.
