James Janeway (3)
The peace which the hypocrite has is built upon the sand; he has not one promise that he can rationally lay any claim to. Nay, the whole Word of God assaults him and tells him how vain his confidence is and that if, for all this, he will speak peace to himself, that he must try shortly whether he can make it good when conscience, Scripture, law and gospel, God and man appear in the field against him. In a word, the cause of his peace is ignorance, hardness, deadness. The god of this world hath blinded his eyes; God is author of the saint's peace and the devil of the sinners (Matt. 7:24; Luke 11:21; Rom. 15:4; Phil. 4:7). James Janeway
How can they look for heaven when they die that thought it not worth their minding while they lived?
In all companies inquire what progress you make heavenward and what declinings and backslidings you are guilty of, and do not bear with your hearts when they begin to be dull, indifferent, and formal. Saint\'s Encouragement, 132-133
