A proud faith is as much a contradiction as a humble devil.

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

God knows all that is done in the most secret caverns of the heart. No place is deprived of his presence.

It is less injury to Him to deny His being, than to deny the purity of it; the one makes Him no God, the other a deformed, unlovely, and a detestable God. He that saith God is not holy speaks much worse that he that saith there is no God at all.

How comfortable it is to have One, day and night, before the throne to control the charge of our enemy, and the despondencies of our souls.

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.
