Since nothing but God is eternal, nothing but God is worth the loving.

Regeneration is a spiritual change; conversion is a spiritual motion.

Since we are dead in sin, a spiritual light and flame in the heart suitable to the nature of the object of our worship, cannot be raised in us without the operation of supernatural grace... such a worship God must have, whereby he is acknowledged to be the true sanctifier and quickener of the soul.

We may be truly said to worship God, though we lack perfection; but we cannot be said to worship Him if we lack sincerity.

Since nothing but God is eternal, nothing but God is worth the loving.

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

It is the black work of an ungodly man or an atheist, that God is not in all his thoughts. What comfort can be had in the being of God without thinking of him with reverence and delight? A God forgotten is as good as no God to us.
