We Must Alter Our Lives In Order

If Contempt Of The World And Heavenly Affection Is A Necessary Temper Of Christians, It Is Necessary That This Temper Appear In The Whole Course Of Their Lives, In Their Manner Of Using The World, Because It Can Have No Place Anywhere Else.

This, And This Alone, Is Christianity, A Universal Holiness In Every Part Of Life, A Heavenly Wisdom In All Our Actions, Not Conforming To The Spirit And Temper Of The World But Turning All Worldly Enjoyments Into Means Of Piety And Devotion To God.

The Will Is That Which Has All Power; It Makes Heaven And It Makes Hell: For There Is No Hell But Where The Will Of The Creature Is Turned From God, Nor Any Heaven But Where The Will Of The Creature Worketh With God.

Be Intent Upon The Perfection Of The Present Day.

Feasts And Business And Pleasure And Enjoyments Seem Great Things To Us, Whilst We Think Of Nothing Else; But As Soon As We Add Death To Them They All Sink Into An Equal Littleness.
