Beware, lastly, of imagining you shall obtain the end without using the means conducive to it.

I felt my heart strangely warmed. I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone for salvation.

This earthly body is slow and heavy in all its motions, listless and soon tired with action. But our heavenly bodies shall be as fire; as active and as nimble as our thoughts are.

Let me do all the good I can, to all the people I can, as often as I can, for I shall not pass this way again.

As no good is done, or spoken, or thought by any man without the assistance of God, working in and with those that believe in him, so there is no evil done, or spoken, or thought without the assistance of the devil, who worketh with strong though secret power in the children of unbelief. All the works of our evil nature are the work of the devil.

In using all means, seek God alone. In and through every outward thing, look only to the power of His Spirit, and the merits of His Son. Beware you do not get stuck in the work itself; if you do, it is all lost labor. Nothing short of God can satisfy your soul. Therefore, fix on Him in all, through all, and above all...Remember also to use all means as means-as ordained, not for their own sake.

Reading Christians are growing Christians. When Christians cease to read, they cease to grow.
