The damned shall live as long in hell as God himself shall live in heaven.
Pirates 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.
God will have nothing to do with proud persons, he will never dwell with them, he will never keep house with them.
He that dwells in the highest heavens, will never dwell in a haughty heart.
A family without prayer is like a house without a roof, open and exposed to all the storms of heaven.
Oh, then be ashamed, Christians, that worldlings are more studious and industrious to make sure of pebbles, than you are to make sure of pearls.
For a close, remember this, that your life is short, your duties many, your assistance great, and your reward sure; therefore faint not, hold on and hold up, in ways of well-doing, and heaven shall make amends for all!Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices
There are none that walk so close with God all the six days, as those that keep closest to God on the seventh day.
There are many now in hell who have had a great confidence of going to heaven.
Sin always dies most where faith lives most. The most believing soul is the most mortified soul.
The least sin is contrary to the law of God, the nature of God, the being of God, and the glory of God
Sin so bewitches the soul, that it makes the soul call evil good, and good evil; bitter sweet and sweet bitter, light darkness and darkness light
The main reason why men dote upon the world, and damn their souls to get the world, is, because they are not acquainted with a greater glory!Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices
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.Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices
Prayer is nothing but the breathing that out before the Lord that was first breathed into us by the Spirit of the Lord.
Cold prayers bespeak a denial, but fervent prayers offer a sacred violence both to heaven and earth.
Prayer is too hard and too high a work for an unsound heart to hold on in; prayer is heart work, and that proves heavy work to him. The soul of prayer lies in the pouring out of the soul before God, and this is a work that a hypocrite has no skill in. Choice Jewels
Enjoy all things for God by using all for Him. Those riches, honors, interests, and friends which are clogs upon the heels of others, let them be as springs to you to raise you heavenward. Let your souls be winged with those very enjoyments wherewith the wings of others are pinioned, and that which is fuel to their worldly lusts, let it be as fuel to feed and nourish your spiritual love. To use what we have for God is the only way not to abuse it; this is one way of enjoying all for God, to use all for Him.
He buys his pleasures too dear who pays for them with the loss of his soul.
Luxury is living in pleasure. God allows us to use pleasures, but not to live in them; to take delights, but not that they should take us. To live always at the full is but a wanton luxury.
Vinedressers are rewarded according to their diligence and faithfulness, though some vines never bear nor bring forth fruit at all. As ministers are diligent and faithful, so the reward, the crown shall be given full at last. This is many a faithful minister's grief, that he takes a great deal of pains in rubbing and washing, as it were, to make souls white and clean, pure and holy, and yet they remain, after all, as black as hell; but surely their reward shall never be the less with God. The nurse looks not for her wages from the child, but from the parent.
The worst of men are in a dead sleep, and the best of men are too often in a sinful slumber; and therefore faithful ministers have need to cry aloud, they have need to be courageous and zealous, to awaken both sinners and saints, that none may go sleeping to hell. Cowardice in a minister is cruelty; if he fears the faces of men, he is a murderer of the souls of men. Smooth Stones
Every man obeys Christ as he prizes Christ, and no otherwise. Unsearchable Riches of Christ
Though no believer does what he should do, yet doubtless every believer might do more than he does in order to God's glory and his own and others' internal and eternal good. Affection without endeavor is like Rachel, beautiful but barren. They are blessed that do what they can, though they cannot but under-do. Unsearchable Riches of Christ
Of all Christians, none so mortified as those in whom grace is most exercised. Sin is a viper that must be killed or it will kill you forever, and there is no way to kill it but by the exercise of grace.
It is sad to consider how few professors in these days have attained the right way of mortifying sin. They usually go out against their sins in the strength of their own purposes, prayers, and resolutions and scarcely look so high as a crucified Christ. They mind not the exercise of their faith upon Christ, and therefore it is a righteous thing with Christ that after all they should be carried away captive by their sins. Nothing eats out sin like the actings of grace; nothing weakens and wastes the strength of sin like the exercise of grace. O did men believe more in Christ, sin would die more. Did they believe the threatenings more, sin would die more. Did they believe the promises more, sin would die more. Did they believe in reigning with Christ more, sin would die more.
