Resolved, Never To Suffer The Least Motions

Assurance Is Not To Be Obtained So Much By Self-examination As By Action

Every Christian Family Ought To Be As It Were A Little Church, Consecrated To Christ, And Wholly Influenced And Governed By His Rules. And Family Education And Order Are Some Of The Chief Means Of Grace. If These Fail, All Other Means Are Likely To Prove Ineffectual. If These Are Duly Maintained, All The Means Of Grace Will Be Likely To Prosper And Be Successful.

A Truly Humble Man Is Sensible Of His Natural Distance From God; Of His Dependence On Him; Of The Insufficiency Of His Own Power And Wisdom; And That It Is By God's Power That He Is Upheld And Provided For, And That He Needs God's Wisdom To Lead And Guide Him, And His Might To Enable Him To Do What He Ought To Do For Him.

Truth Is The Agreement Of Our Ideas With The Ideas Of God.

Resolved, Never Henceforward, Till I Die, To Act As If I Were Any Way My Own, But Entirely And Altogether God's.
