Paul was so much taken with Christ, that nothing sweeter than Jesus could drop from his lips and pen.

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.

Sin endeavors to subject the blessed God to the humor and lust of every person in the world

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

Frequently renew settled and holy resolutions. A soldier unresolved to fight may be easily defeated...The weakness of our graces, the strength of our temptations, and the diligence of our spiritual enemies, require strong resolutions.

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.

The little time that remains between this moment and our death, should quicken our diligence to inherit the endless and unchangeable eternity of God.
