Our Creature Comforts

The Way To Preserve The Peace Of The Church Is To Preserve Its Purity.

Some People Do Not Like To Hear Much Of Repentance; But I Think It Is So Necessary That If I Should Die In The Pulpit, I Would Desire To Die Preaching Repentance, And If Out Of The Pulpit I Would Desire To Die Practicing It.

Those May Justly Be Reckoned Void Of Understanding That Do Not Bless And Praise God; Nor Do Men Ever Rightly Use Their Reason Till They Begin To Be Religious, Nor Live As Men Till They Live To The Glory Of God. As Reason Is The Substratum Or Subject Of Religion (so That Creatures Which Have No Reason Are Not Capable Of Religion), So Religion Is The Crown And Glory Of Reason, And We Have Our Reason In Vain, And Shall One Day Wish We Had Never Had It, If We Do Not Glorify God With It.

Those, And Those Only, Can Expect To Be Taught By God, Who Are Ready And Willing To Do As They Are Taught... Those Who Go Up To The House Of The Lord With An Expectation That He Will Teach Them His Ways, Must Go With A Humble Resolution That They Will Walk In His Paths.
