If any man should ask me what is the first, second, and third part of being a Christian, I must answer 'Action!'

Sin will usher in the greatest and the saddest losses that can be upon our souls.

If it is not strong upon your heart to practice what you read, to what end do you read? To increase your own condemnation? If your light and knowledge be not turned into practice, the more knowing a man you are, the more miserable a man you will be in the day of recompense; your light and knowledge will more torment you than all the devils in hell. Your knowledge will be that rod that will eternally lash you, and that scorpion that will forever bite you, and that worm that will everlastingly gnaw you; therefore read, and labor to know that you may do--or else you are undone forever.

Sin in a wicked man is like poison in a serpent; it is in its natural place.

Many eat that on earth that they digest in hell.

When you have overcome one temptation, you must be ready to enter the lists with another. As distrust, in some sense, is the mother of safety, so security is the gate of danger.

Deliver me, O Lord, from that evil man, myself.
