It Is One Thing To Fear God

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.

Let Our Hearts Admit, “i Am Poor And Weak. Satan Is Too Subtle, Too Cunning, Too Powerful; He Watches Constantly For Advantages Over My Soul. The World Presses In Upon Me With All Sorts Of Pressures, Pleas, And Pretences. My Own Corruption Is Violent, Tumultuous, Enticing, And Entangling. As It Conceives Sin, It Wars Within Me And Against Me. Occasions And Opportunities For Temptation Are Innumerable. No Wonder I Do Not Know How Deeply Involved I Have Been With Sin. Therefore, On God Alone Will I Rely For My Keeping. I Will Continually Look To Him.

We Admit No Faith To Be Justifying, Which Is Not Itself And In Its Own Nature A Spiritually Vital Principle Of Obedience And Good Works.

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

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