Religion consists much in holy affection; but those exercises of affection which are most distinguishing of true religion are these practical exercises. Friendship between earthly friends consists much in affection; but those strong exercises of affection that actually carry them through fire and water for each other are the highest evidences of true friendship.

Christian practice is that evidence which confirms every other indication of true godliness.

A man who knows that he lives in sin against God will not be inclined to come daily into the presence of God.

Christ gives peace to the most sinful and miserable that come to Him. He heals the broken in heart and binds up their wounds.

A true love for God must begin with a delight in His holiness, and not with a delight in any other attribute; for no other attribute is truly lovely without this.

Resolution One: I will live for God. Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will.

Almost every natural man that hears of hell, flatters himself that he shall escape it.
