“Though there is not always grace where there is the fear of hell, yet, to be sure, there is no grace where there is no fear of God.”

An idle man’s brain is the devil’s workshop.

There can be but one will the master in our salvation, but that shall never be the will of man, but of God; therefore man must be saved by grace.

A saint abroad, and a devil at home.

Christ is the desire of nations, the joy of angels, the delight of the Father. What solace then must that soul be filled with, that has the possession of Him to all eternity!

What God says is best, is best, though all the men in the world are against it.

If people really see that Christ has removed the fear of punishment from them by taking it into Himself, they won’t do whatever they want, they’ll do whatever He wants.

It could be a sign of pride in your life if a word of reproof or admonition is not able to be received with the same grace, whether it be given by the poorest of saints or the most educated person.

He who runs from God in the morning will scarcely find Him the rest of the day.

The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, and they that lack the beginning have neither middle nor end.

To pray rightly, you must make God your hope, stay, and all. Right prayer sees nothing substantial or worth being concerned about except God.

Hope is never ill when faith is well.

See how ye Pharisee in the Temple stands, And justifies himself with lifted hands. Whilst ye poor publican with downcast eyes, Conscious of guilt to God for mercy cries.

In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.

Christians are like the several flowers in a garden that have each of them the dew of heaven, which, being shaken with the wind, they let fall at each other’s roots, whereby they are jointly nourished, and become nourishers of each other.

Nothing can hurt you except sin; nothing can grieve me except sin; nothing can defeat you except sin. Therefore, be on your guard, my Mansoul.

The Lord uses his flail of tribulation to separate the chaff from the wheat.

The Good News of the gospel of grace cries out: We are all, equally, privileged but unentitled beggars at the door of God’s mercy!

I think life would mean nullity if grace does not pick my hand again to reach you.

Hope remains. The light will stay. You are held and seen and covered in grace.

Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, or worn. It is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace & gratitude.

Our Lord is the ground from whom our prayer grows and in his love and grace he himself gives us our prayers.

Grace isn’t a little prayer you chant before receiving a meal. It’s a way to live. The law tells me how crooked I am. Grace comes along and straightens me out.

When we wallow in guilt, remorse, and shame over real or imagined sins of the past, we are disdaining God’s gift of grace.

Today, let’s set our minds and hearts on feeling more thankful for what we are than guilty for what we’re not. Let’s cut the threads of guilt with grace.
