truth humility joy
A well-grounded assurance is always attended with three fair handmaids: love, humility and holy joy.
heart men devil
Whatever sin the heart of man is most prone to, that the devil will help forward.
men christ every-man
Every man obeys Christ as he prizes Christ, not otherwise.
heart wrath grace-and-mercy
Nothing humbles and breaks the heart of a sinner like mercy and love. Souls that converse much with sin and wrath, may be much terrified; but souls that converse much with grace and mercy, will be much humbled.
men wicked poison
Sin in a wicked man is like poison in a serpent; it is in its natural place.
littles christianity contradiction
If you would have a clear evidence that little love, that little faith, that little zeal, you have is true? Then live up to that love, live up to that faith, live up to that zeal that you have; and this will be evidence beyond all contradiction.
believe humble soul
The least sin should humble the soul, but certainly the greatest sin should never discourage the soul, much less should it work the soul to despair. Despairing Judas perished, whereas the murderers of Christ, believing on Him, were saved.
soul riches gowns
How many threadbare souls are to be found under silken cloaks and gowns!
humble soul looks
An humble soul looks upon Christ's righteousness as his only crown.
men judging soul
There are no souls in the world that are so fearful to judge others as those that do most judge themselves, nor so careful to make a righteous judgment of men or things as those that are most careful to judge themselves.
men temptation littles
Little sins carry with them but little temptations to sin, and then a man shews most viciousness and unkindness, when he sins on a little temptation. It is devilish to sin without a temptation; it is little less than devilish to sin on a little occasion. The less the temptation is to sin, the greater is that sin.
prayer men dumb
Cold prayers shall never have any warm answers. God will suit His returns to our requests. Lifeless, services shall have lifeless answers. When men are dull, God will be dumb.
humility men joy
Humility can weep over other men's weaknesses, and joy and rejoice over their graces.
heaven grace looks
Sin is hell, grace is heaven; what madness it is to look more at hell than heaven.
