He Who Prays As He Ought Will

Hatred Of Sin As Sin, Not Only As Galling Or Disquieting, A Sense Of The Love Of Christ In The Cross, Lie At The Bottom Of All True Spiritual Mortification.

Though We Are Commanded To 'wash Ourselves', To 'cleanse Ourselves From Sins', To 'purge Ourselves From All Our Iniquities', Yet To Imagine That We Can Do These Things By Our Own Efforts Is To Trample On The Cross And Grace Of Jesus Christ. Whatever God Works In Us By His Grace, He Commands Us To Do As Our Duty. God Works All In Us And By Us.

The Stronghold Of The Contemplation Of Christ's Glory Affords The Soul Rest, For It Will Be Made Evident That Our Troubles Grow On The Root Of An Over-valuation Of Temporal Things. The Mind Is Its Own Greatest Troubler.

There Is No True Gospel Fruit Without Faith And Repentance.

Whatever Vices And Corruptions Men See In The Lives Of Their Ministers Will Not Be Attributed To The Depravity Of Their Old Nature Which Still Abides In Them, But To The Gospel.
