The damned shall live as long in hell as God himself shall live in heaven.
Heaven, Hell0Pirates do not use to set upon poor empty vessels; and beggars need not fear the thief. Those that have most of God, and are most rich in grace— shall be most assaulted by Satan, who is the greatest and craftiest pirate in the world.
Satan, Spiritual Warfare04 Types of Pride: first is when someone attributes to himself the good which he has; the second, when he believes that the good is given by God, and yet for his own merits; the third, when he boasts that he has what he does not have; the fourth, when he has contempt for all others and wishes to seem unique.
Moralia, bk 2, c6, n13Pride0Moralia, bk 2, c6, n13
Pride has its root and strength in a spiritual power, outside of us as well as within us; as needful as it is that we confess and deplore it, it is satanic in origin.
HumilityPride0Humility
A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you.

Afflictions are God's furnace, by which he cleanses his people from their dross. Affliction is a fire to purge out our dross, and to make virtue shine. Afflictions are medicines which heal soul diseases, better than all the remedies of physicians.

There is no worse screen to block out the Spirit than confidence in our own intelligence.
Commentary on Luke 24:45Pride0Commentary on Luke 24:45
It is a God-like thing, though we are wronged by others, yet to be the first in seeking after peace.
Peace0When the sword is in the scabbard, the traveler is easily surprised; and when the guard is asleep, the city is quickly conquered. The strongest creature, the lion, and the wisest creature, the serpent, if they be dormant, are as easily surprised as the weakest worms. So the strongest and wisest saints, if their graces be asleep, if they be only in the habit and not in the exercise, may be as easily surprised and vanquished as the weakest Christians in all the world, as you may see in David, Solomon, Samson, Peter. Every enemy insults over him that has lost the use of his weapons.
Spiritual Warfare0A humble soul being once in a great conflict with Satan said thus to him: "Satan, reason not with me—I am but weak. If thou hast anything to say, say it to Christ; He is my advocate, my strength, and my Redeemer, and He shall plead for me." A humble soul is good at turning Satan over to the Lord Jesus, and this increases Satan's hell.
Spiritual Warfare0Israel going into Egypt had no opposition, but traveling into Canaan, they were never free.
Spiritual Warfare0True repentance includes a sense of the mischievousness of sin: that it cast angels out of heaven, Adam out of Paradise; that it laid the first cornerstone in hell and brought in all the curses, crosses, and miseries that are in the world; and that it renders men liable to all temporal, spiritual, and eternal wrath; yea, it hath left men without God, Christ, hope, or heaven.
Sin, Repentance0As he cannot be wise who speaks much, so he cannot be known for a fool that says nothing.
Silence0No godly man falls in any common calamity till his glass be run and his work done; so I say of all those dear servants of the Lord that have fallen by the pestilence in the midst of us. Their hour was come and their course was finished. Had God had any further doing work, or suffering work, or bearing work, or witnessing work for them in this world, 'twas not all the angels in heaven nor all the malignant diseases in the world that could ever have cut them off from the land of the living.
Sickness0Many have and many do miserably pervert the Scriptures by turning them into vain and groundless allegories. Some wanton wits have expounded Paradise to be the soul, man to be the mind, the woman to be the sense, the serpent to be delight, the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil to be wisdom, and the rest of the trees to be the virtues and endowments of the mind. O friends! It is dangerous to bring in allegories where the Scripture doth not clearly and plainly warrant them and to take those words figuratively which should be taken properly.
Scripture0God had but one Son without corruption, but He had none without temptation (Heb. 2:17–18). Pirates make the fiercest assaults upon those vessels that are most richly laden; so doth Satan upon those souls that are most richly laden with treasures of grace, with the riches of glory. Pirates let empty vessels pass and repass without assaulting them; so doth Satan let souls that are empty of God, of Christ, of the Spirit, of grace pass and repass without tempting or assaulting of them.
