There is the seed of all sins--of the vilest and worst of sins--in the best of men.

Let those be thy choicest companions who have made Christ their chief companion.

We trust as we love, and where we love. If we love Christ much, surely we shall trust him much.

Remember this-all the sighing, mourning, sobbing, and complaining in the world, does not so undeniably evidence a man to be humble, as his overlooking his own righteousness, and living really and purely upon the righteousness of Christ.

It is our wisest and our safest course to stand at the farthest distance from sin; not to go near the house of the harlot, but to fly from all appearance of evil (Prov. 5:8, I Thess. 5:22). The best course to prevent falling into the pit is to keep at the greatest distance; he that will be so bold as to attempt to dance upon the brink of the pit, may find by woeful experience that it is a righteous thing with God that he should fall into the pit.

Grace and glory differ very little; the one is the seed, the other is the flower; grace is glory militant, glory is grace triumphant.

Prayer is nothing but the breathing that out before the Lord, that was first breathed into us by the Spirit of the Lord.
