There are many who are lip servants but not life servants..
The best way never to fall is ever to fear..
As the wicked are hurt by the best things, so the godly are bettered by the worst..
The bending of men's hearts to believe and persevere are the supernatural fruits of God's eternal decree, and not the natural fruits of man's depraveā¦.
To forsake Christ for the world, is to leave a treasure for a trifle, eternity for a moment, reality for a shadow.
There must be fired affections before our prayers will go up..
Truth reforms as well as informs..
There is nothing destroyed by sanctification but that which would destroy us..
We are not justified by doing good works, but being justified we then do good..
