Therefore tremble, O man, at any power thou hast, except thou usest it for God. Art thou strong in body; who hath thy strength? God, or thy lusts?

It is no policy to let thy lusts have arms, which are sure to rise and declare against thee when thine enemy comes.

God is almighty to pardon, but He will not use His power for a shameless sinner. He is able to save and help in time of need, but if you have not repented, how can you expect His aid? The same power God expends on the believer's salvation will be spent on your damnation, for He has bound Himself under oath to destroy every impenitent soul.

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

The soldier is summoned to a life of active duty and so is the Christian.

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

He that loves the Word and the purity of its precepts cannot turn traitor.
