Indeed there is no little sin because there is no little God to sin against.
A Commentary on the Old and New Testaments, 5:500Sin0A Commentary on the Old and New Testaments, 5:500
Repentance is a discovery of the evil of sin, a mourning that we have committed it, a resolution to forsake it. It is, in fact, a change of mind of a very deep and practical character, which makes the man love what once he hated, and hate what once he loved.
Repentance0Repentance causes a change in the affections, which move under the will as the commander-in-chief. It metamorphoses the affections. It turns rejoicing in sin into sorrowing for sin; it turns boldness in sin into holy shame; it turns the love of sin into hatred.
Ten Commandments, 207Repentance0Ten Commandments, 207
Surely no rebel can expect the King to pardon his treason while he remains in open revolt. No one can be so foolish as to imagine that the Judge of all the earth will put away our sins if we refuse to put them away ourselves.
All of Grace (116)Repentance0All of Grace (116)
The New Testament word for "repentance" means changing one's mind so that one's views, values, goals, and ways are changed and one's whole life is lived differently. The change is radical, both inwardly and outwardly; mind and judgment, will and affections, behavior and lifestyle, motives and purposes, are all involved. Repenting means starting to live a new life.

They are fools that fear to lose their wealth by giving, but fear not to lose themselves by keeping it.
Giving, Wealth0Repentance is to leave the sin we loved before, And show that we in earnest grieve by doing so no more.

God is nearer to us than we are to ourselves and knows our thoughts long before, as a gardener knows what flowers he shall have at spring because he knows the roots.
God's Omniscience0Where the Scripture hath no tongue we need not have ears, but must content ourselves with a learned ignorance, lest we fall into the sin of those angel worshipers (Col. 2:18).
Angels0Reading maketh a full man, prayer a holy man, temptation an experienced man.
A Puritan Golden TreasuryPrayer, Temptation0A Puritan Golden Treasury
As a body without a soul, much wood without fire, a bullet in a gun without powder, so are words in prayer without spirit.
Commentary on Old/New Testaments 5 - 334Prayer0Commentary on Old/New Testaments 5 - 334
A man may as truly say, the sea burns, or fire cools, as that certainty of salvation breeds security and looseness.
Commentary on the Old and New Treatments, 5Eternal Security, Perseverance0Commentary on the Old and New Treatments, 5
Repentance is not by our own merit, but it springs into the soul by the mere good-will of God, and immediate power of the Holy Spirit.
Repentance0The nature of true repentance is clearly and unmistakably laid down in holy Scripture.
It begins with knowledge of sin.
It goes on to work sorrow for sin.
It leads to confession of sin before God.
It shows itself before man, by a thorough breaking off from sin.
It results in producing a habit of deep hatred for all sin.
Above all, it is inseparably connected with lively faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Repentance like this is the characteristic of all true Christians.
Gospel of Luke CommentaryRepentance0Gospel of Luke Commentary
we have to remember that genuine repentance is more fundamentally a matter of the heart's attitude toward sin than it is a mere change of behaviour.
What is the Gospel?(81)Repentance0What is the Gospel?(81)
Idleness is the hour of temptation, and an idle person is the devil's tennis ball, tossed by him at his pleasure.
Idleness0Humility is both a grace and a vessel to receive grace.
Humility0Lie not to one another. No, not in jest, lest you go to hell in earnest.
Lying0Take heed of discontent. It was the devil's sin that threw him out of heaven. Ever since which, this restless spirit loves to fish in troubled waters.
Contentment0A contented man cannot be a poor man, especially if a godly man. For why? The Father, that Ancient of Days, fills his memory; the Son, the wisdom of the Father, fills his understanding; the Holy Ghost, the Comforter, fills his will. And so he must needs have all that thus has the Haver of All.
Contentment0Better be pruned to grow than cut up to burn.
Correction, Chastisement0Many there are that suffer the sun not only to go down upon their anger, but to run his whole race— yes, many races—ere they can be reconciled, whereby their anger becomes inveterate and turns into malice, for anger and malice differ but in age.
Anger0Anger is a tender virtue and such as by reason of our unskillfulness may be easily corrupted and made dangerous. He that in his anger would not sin must not be angry at anything but sin.
Anger0Anger is a short madness; whensoever it displaces reason, it is sinful.
Commentary, 1:603Anger0Commentary, 1:603
Ambition is boundless, rides without reins, builds itself on the ruins of others, and cares not to swim to its design, though in a sea of blood.
Commentary, 1:45Ambition0Commentary, 1:45
