Cease to pray and thou will begin to sin. Prayer is not only a means to prevail for mercy but also to prevent sin.

How many, alas, of the precious saints of God must we shut out from being believers, if there is no faith but what amounts to assurance.... shall we say their faith went away in the departure of their assurance?

As you love your peace, Christian, be plain-hearted with God and man, and keep the king's highway.

The grace thou hast will soon be less, if thou addest not more to it.

We have peace with God as soon as we believe, but not always with ourselves. The pardon may be past the prince's hand and seal, and yet not put into the prisoner's hand.

Pray often rather than very long at a time. It is hard to be very long in prayer, and not slacken in our affections.

The chains of love are stronger than the chains of fear.
