Let us not satisfy ourselves with a knowledge of God in the mass; a glance upon a picture never directs you to the discerning the worth and art of it.

A man may be theologically knowing and spiritually ignorant.

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.

We often learn more of God under the rod that strikes us than under the staff that comforts us.

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

Accustom yourself to serious meditation every morning. Fresh airing our souls in heaven will engender in us a purer spirit and nobler thoughts. A morning seasoning will secure us for all the day.

Pride is self contending with God for preeminence.
