It Is Often Those Who Are Despised

I Have Known Some Good Men Who Have Been So Addicted To Their Study, That They Have Thought The Last Day Of The Week Sufficient To Prepare For Their Ministry, Though They Employ All The Rest Of The Week In Other Studies. But Your Business Is To Trade With Your Spiritual Abilities. ... A Man May Preach A Very Good Sermon, Who Is Otherwise Himself; But He Will Never Make A Good Minister Of Jesus Christ, Whose Mind And Heart Are Not Always In The Work. Spiritual Gifts Will Require Continual Ruminating On The Things Of The Gospel In Our Minds.

The More I See Of The Glory Of Christ, The More The Painted Beauties Of This World Will Wither In My Eyes.

The Person Who Understands The Evil In His Own Heart Is The Only Person Who Is Useful, Fruitful, And Solid In His Beliefs And Obedience. Others Only Delude Themselves And Thus Upset Families, Churches, And All Other Relationships. In Their Self-pride And Judgment Of Others, They Show Great Inconsistency.

Set Faith At Work On Christ For The Killing Of Thy Sin. His Blood Is The Great Sovereign Remedy For Sin-sick Souls. Live In This, And Thou Wilt Die A Conqueror; Yea, Thou Wilt, Through The Good Providence Of God, Live To See Thy Lust Dead At Thy Feet.

Labour To Grow Better Under All Your Afflictions, Lest Your Afflictions Grow Worse, Lest God Mingle Them With More Darkness, Bitterness And Terror.
