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

God doth not govern the world only by his will as an absolute monarch, but by his wisdom and goodness as a tender father. It is not his greatest pleasure to show his sovereign power, or his inconceivable wisdom, but his immense goodness, to which he makes the other attributes subservient.

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

Without the heart it’s not worship, it’s a stage play.

Works make not the heart good, but a good heart makes the works good.

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.

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.
