We Ought As Much To Pray For

Spiritual Wisdom Consists In Finding Out The Subtleties, Policies, And Depths Of Any Indwelling Sin... To Trace This Serpent In All Its Turnings And Windings; Be Able To Say, At Its Most Secret Actings, 'this Is Your Old Way And Course; I Know What You Aim At.'

All Other Ways Of Mortification Are Vain, All Helps Leave Us Helpless; It Must Be Done By The Spirit.

When We Realize A Constant Enemy Of The Soul Abides Within Us, What Diligence And Watchfulness We Should Have! How Woeful Is The Sloth And Negligence Then Of So Many Who Live Blind And Asleep To This Reality Of Sin. There Is An Exceeding Efficacy Nad Power In The Indwelling Sin Of Believers, For It Constantly Inclines Itself Towards Evil. We Need To Be Awake, Then, If Our Hearts Would Know The Ways Of God. Our Enemy Is Not Only Upon Us, As It Was With Samson, But It Is Also In Us.

If I Have Observed Anything By Experience, It Is This: A Man May Take The Measure Of His Growth And Decay In Grace According To His Thoughts And Meditations Upon The Person Of Christ, And The Glory Of Christ's Kingdom, And Of His Love.

The Root Of An Unmortified Course Is The Digestion Of Sin Without Bitterness In The Heart.
