All worship is shot wrong that is not directed to, and conducted by, the thoughts of the power of God, whose assistance we need.

In natures, we see God, as it were, like the sun in a picture; in the law, as the sun in a cloud; in Christ we see Him in His beams; He being 'the brightness of His glory, and the exact image of His person.

Pride is self contending with God for preeminence.

Works make not the heart good, but a good heart makes the works good.

In regard of God, patience is a submission to His sovereignty. To endure a trial, simply because we cannot avoid or resist it, is not Christian patience. But to humbly submit because it is the will of God to inflict the trial, to be silent because the sovereignty of God orders it - is true godly patience.

Without the heart it’s not worship, it’s a stage play.

Unbelief was the first sin, and pride was the first-born of it.
