Weak faith will as surely land the Christian in heaven as strong faith, for it is impossible the least dram of true grace should perish

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?

For a beggar to live at court is not so much as the King to dwell with him in his cottage.

God loves the saints as the purchase of his Son's blood. They cost him dear, and that which is so hardly got shall not be easily lost. He that was willing to expend his Son's blood to gain them, will not deny his power to keep them.

Christ hath told us He will come, but not when, that we might never put off our clothes, or put out the candle.

CEASE to PRAY and thou will BEGIN to SIN.

The Christian in prayer comes up close to God, with a humble boldness of faith, and takes hold of him, wrestles with him; yea, will not let him go without a blessing... They are only a few noble-spirited souls, who dare take heaven by force, that are fit for this calling.
