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

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

Let us look upon a crucified Christ, the remedy of all our miseries. His cross hath procured a crown, his passion hath expiated our transgression. His death hath disarmed the law, his blood hath washed a believer's soul. This death is the destruction of our enemies, the spring of our happiness, and the eternal testimony of divine love.

Pride is self contending with God for preeminence.

When we believe that we should be satisfied rather than God glorified in our worship, then we put God below ourselves as though He had been made for us rather than that we had been made for Him.

Self is the great antichrist and anti-God in the world, that sets up itself above all else.

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.
