God's decree is the very pillar and basis on which the saint's perseverance depends. That decree ties the knot of adoption so fast, that neither sin, death, nor hell, can break it asunder.

A weak faith can lay hold on a strong Christ.

Praising God is one of the highest and purest acts of religion. In prayer we act like men; in praise we act like angels.

Knowledge without repentance will be but a torch to light men to hell.

Thus it is in hell; they would die, but they cannot. The wicked shall be always dying but never dead; the smoke of the furnacedascends for ever and ever. Oh! who can endure thus to be ever upon the rack? This word "ever" breaks the heart. Wicked men do now think the Sabbaths long, and think a prayer long; but oh! how long will it be to lie in hell for ever and ever?

Our murmuring is the devil's music.

A man's greatest care should be for that place where he lives longest; therefore eternity should be his scope.
