Never venture near the door where sin dwells, lest you are dragged in.

We must not confide in the armour of God, but in the God of this armour, because all our weapons are only mighty through God.

Let thy hope of heaven master thy fear of death.

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.

Bid faith look through the key-hole of the promise, and tell thee what it sees there laid up for him that overcomes; bid it listen and tell thee whether it cannot hear the shout of those crowned saints, as of those that are dividing the spoil, and receiving the reward of all their services and sufferings here on earth.

It is the image of God reflected in you that so enrages hell; it is this at which the demons hurl their mightiest weapons.
