Though we as Christians are like Christ, having the first fruits of the spirit, yet we are unlike him, having the remainders of the flesh.

Sin has the devil for its father, shame for its companion, and death for its wages.

The godly have some good in them, therefore the devil afflicts them; and some evil in them, therefore God afflicts them.

Are there not millions of us who would rather go sleeping to hell; than sweating to heaven?

A spiritual prayer is a humble prayer. Prayer is the asking of an alms, which requires humility... The lower the heart descends, the higher the prayer ascends.

Till sin be bitter, Christ will not be sweet.

The pleasure of sin is soon gone, but the sting remains.
