I assert that nothing ever comes to pass without a cause.

Jonathan Edwards

Religion, in its purity, is not so much a pursuit as a temper; or rather it is a temper, leading to the pursuit of all that is high and holy. Its foundation is faith; its action, works; its temper, holiness; its aim, obedience to God in improvement of self, and benevolence to men.

Faith Foundation God Improvement Obedience Purity Pursuit Religion

To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here.

Family education and order are some of the chief means of grace; if these are duly maintained, all the means of grace are likely to prosper and become effectual.

Temples have their images; and we see what influence they have always had over a great part of mankind. But, in truth, the ideas and images in men’s minds are the invisible powers that constantly govern them; and to these they all pay universally a ready submission.
JONATHAN EDWARDS

Govern Image Influence Submission Temple Universe
Seek not to grow in knowledge chiefly for the sake of applause, and to enable you to dispute with others; but seek it for the benefit of your souls.

Benefit Growth Knowledge Seek Yourself
Assurance is not to be obtained so much by self-examination as by action.
