The sins of teachers are the teachers of sin.

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

Whoever hath a seed time of grace pass over his soul, shall have his harvest time also of joy.

He that is impatient, and cannot wait on God for a mercy, will not easily submit to Him in a denial.

In heaven we shall appear, not in armour, but in robes of glory. But here these are to be worn night and day; we must walk, work, and sleep in them, or else we are not true soldiers of Christ.

Paul was Nero's prisoner, but Nero was much more God's... But how does the great apostle spend his time in prison?... We read of no dispatches sent to court to procure his liberty; but many to the churches, to help them to stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ had made them free... The devil had as good have let Paul alone, for he no sooner comes into prison but he falls a preaching, at which the gates of Satan's prison fly open, and poor sinners come forth.

God Himself underwrites your battle and has appointed His own Son 'the captain of your salvation'.
