Nature is content with little; grace with less; but lust with nothing.

It is our duty not to not only hold fast, but to hold forth the Word of life; not only to hold fast for our own benefit, but to hold it forth for the benefit of others, to hold it forth as the candlestick holds forth the candle, which makes it appear to advantage all around, or as the luminaries of the heavens, which shed their influences far and wide.

Those who will not deliver themselves into the hand of God's mercy cannot be delivered out of the hand of His justice.
