Till Men Are Deeply Humbled, They Can

Do Not Waste Your Time On Light, Weak, Milk­toast Ministries And Books

See That Your Chief Study Be About Heart, That There God's Image May Be Planted, And His Interest Advanced, And The Interest Of The World And Flesh Subdued, And The Love Of Every Sin Cast Out, And The Love Of Holiness Succeed; And That You Content Not Yourselves With Seeming To Do Good In Outward Acts, When You Are Bad Yourselves, And Strangers To The Great Internal Duties. The First And Great Work Of A Christian Is About His Heart.

Till Men Are Deeply Humbled, They Can Part With Christ And Salvation For A Lust, For A Little Wordly Gain, For That Which Is Less Than Nothing. But When God Hath Enlightened Their Consciences, And Broken Their Hearts, Then They Would Give A World For Christ.

An Ounce Of Mirth Is Worth A Pound Of Sorrow.

Spend Your Time In Nothing Which You Know Must Be Repented Of; In Nothing On Which You Might Not Pray For The Blessing Of God; In Nothing Which You Could Not Review With A Quiet Conscience On Your Dying Bed; In Nothing Which You Might Not Safely And Properly Be Found Doing If Death Should Surprise You In The Act.
