There Is A State Of Perfect Peace

There Are Two Things That Are Suited To Humble The Souls Of Men, And They Are, First, A Due Consideration Of God, And Then Of Themselves - Of God, In His Greatness, Glory, Holiness, Power, Majesty, And Authority; Of Ourselves, In Our Mean, Abject, And Sinful Condition.

The House Built On The Sand May Oftentimes Be Built Higher, Have More Fair Parapets And Battlements, Windows And Ornaments, Than That Which Is Built Upon The Rock; Yet All Gifts And Privileges Equal Not One Grace.

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.

As A Tender And Loving Friend Is Grieved At The Unkindness Of His Friend... So Is It With This Tender And Loving Spirit, Who Hath Chosen Our Hearts For A Habitation To Dwell In.

The Duties God Requires Of Us Are Not In Proportion To The Strength We Possess In Ourselves. Rather, They Are Proportional To The Resources Available To Us In Christ. We Do Not Have The Ability In Ourselves To Accomplish The Least Of God's Tasks. This Is The Law Of Grace. When We Recognize It Is Impossible For Us To Perform A Duty In Our Own Strength, We Will Discover The Secret Of Its Accomplishment.
