Ah! sinner, remember this, there is no way on earth effectually to be rid of the guilt, filth, and power of sin, but by believing in a Saviour. It is not resolving, it is not complaining, it is not mourning, but believing, that will make thee divinely victorious over that body of sin that to this day is too strong for thee, and that will certainly be thy ruin, if it be not ruined by a hand of faith.

There is great danger, yea many times most danger, in the smallest sins... Greater sins do sooner startle the soul, and awaken and rouse up the soul to repentance, than lesser sins do. Little sins often slide into the soul, and breed, and work secretly and undiscernibly in the soul, till they come to be so strong, as to trample upon the soul and to cut the throat of the soul.

The giving way to a less sin makes way for the committing of a greater

God hears no more than the heart speaks; and if the heart be dumb, God will certainly be deaf.

The lazy Christian has his mouth full of complaints, when the active Christian has his heart full of comforts.

The only way to avoid cannon-shot is to fall down. No such way to be freed from temptation as to keep low.

Till men have faith in Christ, their best services are but glorious sins.
