“We cannot believe that the church of God is already possessed of all that light which God intends to give it; nor that all Satan’s lurking places have already been found out.”

I make it my rule, to lay hold of light and embrace it, wherever I see it, though held forth by a child or an enemy.

Almost every natural man that hears of hell, flatters himself that he shall escape it.

Resolution One: I will live for God. Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will.

The wrath of God burns against them, their damnation does not slumber; the pit is prepared, the fire is made ready, the furnace is now hot, ready to receive them; the flames do now rage and glow.

Of all the knowledge that we can ever obtain, the knowledge of God, and the knowledge of ourselves, are the most important.

The God that holds you over the pit of hell, much as one holds a spider… abhors you, and is dreadfully provoked: his wrath towards you burns like fire; he looks upon you as worthy of nothing else, but to be cast into the fire.

A true and faithful Christian does not make holy living an accidental thing. It is his great concern. As the business of the soldier is to fight, so the business of the Christian is to be like Christ.

Sincere friendship towards God, in all who believe him to be properly an intelligent, willing being, does most apparently, directly, and strongly incline to prayer; and it no less disposes the heart strongly to desire to have our infinitely glorious.

There is nothing that keeps wicked men at any one moment out of hell, but the mere pleasure of God.

Spiritual delight in God arises chiefly from his beauty and perfection, not from the blessings he gives us.

Assurance is not to be obtained so much by self-examination as by action.

Men will trust in God no further than they know Him; and they cannot be in the exercise of faith in Him one ace further than they have a sight of His fulness and faithfulness in exercise.

You contribute nothing to your salvation except the sin that made it necessary.

Nothing is more certain than that there must be an unmade and unlimited being.

There is a difference between having a rational judgment that honey is sweet, and having a sense of its sweetness.

Grace is the seed of glory, the dawning of glory in the heart, and therefore grace is the earnest of the future inheritance.

There is a line drawn by God, a boundary where by virtue of his own very presence Satan’s writ does not run. Let God but occupy all the space himself, and what room is left for the evil one?

Often Satan injects pride into the believer’s spirit, evoking in him an attitude of self-importance and of self-conceit. He causes him to esteem himself a very outstanding person, one who is indispensable in God’s work. Such a spirit constitutes one of the major reasons for the fall of believers.

Put very simply, Satan’s power in the world is everywhere. Yet wherever men and women walk in the Spirit, sensitive to the anointing they have from God, that power of his just evaporates.

Prayer releases the grip of Satan’s power; prayerlessness increases it.

It’s Satan’s delight to tell me that once he’s got me, he will keep me. But at that moment I can go back to God.

Be warned! From Satan’s viewpoint you are a pawn in his game of cosmic chess.

If Satan can’t make you bad, he’ll make you busy.

Satan wants to cripple me and then blame me for limping.
