There is not a minute of time in all of our life but we must either be near to God or we will be undone.
Richard SibbesIf we would make it evident that our conversion is sound, we must loathe and hate sin from the heart.
Richard SibbesIn trouble we are prone to forget all that we have heard and read that makes for our comfort. Now what is the reason that a man comes to think of that which otherwise he should never have called to mind? The Holy Spirit brings it to his remembrance; He is a Comforter, bringing to mind useful things at such times when we have most need of them.
Richard SibbesWe cannot say this or that trouble shall not befall, yet we may, by help of the Spirit, say, nothing that doth befall shall make me do that which is unworthy of a Christian.
